Ultima Dia (Last Day)

AHHHH where to start....?!?!?!?!!? I wish I was able to tell you EVERYTHING!!! But I'll just start by saying the Lord is in charge and knows us personally and knows what we need.

So the trio was actually so awesome, it was great to have some change for a week...hma bambrough finally got her visa on thursday....from that second on it has been CRAZY!!! we then had to go all over to get her ready to go! Which was kind of bad because I really needed class but, I'm not going to lie, was also kind of the best to be out of class. So through this my mtc dream has been fulfilled....I got to leave campus!!!!!!!! we got in a car...so weird!! got driven to the bank so she could get the green she needed to make it to Peru! It was so fun!! So weird to see everything and so weird ot be in a car and to talk to normal people haha. The lady at the bank gave us suckers! lol i think the van driver was annoyed with us because we were so amazed by everything! and so excited about the littlest things haha. Then Hma walker left yesterday....hardest thing yet. It was just me and her in the room when hma bambrough left which was really fun. we decided a long time ago on our last night here we would buy a ton of ice cream from the vending machine outside of our room and eat whatever we wanted. She was up kind of late packing which your not supposed to do but with Hma Bambrough as the focus before that we hadn't had time to do anything else, so after she was done packing we went out to the vending machine and did what we wanted to do everyday here! We bought ice cream and chips haha and we put it all on the bottom bunk and sat across from each other and enjoyed it and realized how is the mtc over?! and freaked out about leaving!! And recited all the things we had memorized and laughed really hard because we didn't want to cry! It was good...we had to be up at 4:40 the next morning to get her to the travel office and she was SO nervous she made me stay with her til she was loading the bus which totally annoyed the elders that had to escort me back but we just ignored them haha. We hugged and cried and it was happy yet sad haha. But the weirdest thing was going backto my room...being the only one left. It was really sad. I couldn't sleep for the next hour that I was supposed to because my mind was going everywhere, in a good way. For the rest of yesterday the Lord really took care of me. We got four new sisters in our zone this week and I was put in a trio with two of them but all four of them stick together so I was with all of them. which was sooo interesting because thy haven't even been here a week yet...so they were asking me all kinds of questions and I felt like they think I know everything haha but I don't! But it was actually really fun to share with them some things I wish people woul've shared with me or that i wis I would've know or what I would do differently, and I helped them with a lesson and study and stuff...and get this...i even helped them with spanish a tiny. So it was good for me to see how much i've grown here without realizing it. I've learned tons about the doctrine, teaching, what missionary work is and the purpose of it, the scheduel, spanish...just I hadn't noticed in a well rounded way I have grown so much.

So When class started it was just me and two elders left in my district haha so our opening hymn was the lamest. One elder had a dentist apt so...do the math...that left me...with the teacher haha. That was the best thing that coudln'tve happended! It was hma forsyth so I just got to pick her brain apart about spanish, mission life, worries, the doctrine, we had companion study together, and we just talked. She told me mission stories and I seriously asked her anything I have ever worried about or wondered about a mission. She was probably the best missionary there ever was so I was so inspired after. she was such a creative missionary that I am so pumped to go out there and have fun while serving! I realized we can put and use our personalities and creative ideas into missionary work. She gave me lots of good ideas and just motivated me to be my best. After going all over the place with hma bambrough and hma walker and saying goodbye that was exactly what I needed instead of spanish instruction or something. and it was actually ehr very last day teaching at the MTC and my last day there so it was just something we both got to enjoy together and something we both love so it was just a class totally devoted to my needs haha. It was just me and the elders at dinner which was really funny cause elder alvarados mouth was numb from the dentist so we had fun making him try everything. When we went backto classmy teacher was at a training for half so I was put with the district closost behind us and my elders ditched me to go pack! So agian I am just stuck somewhere randomly haha...but it was fun it was a district of all elders and they were not used to having a sister so it was really fun and sooo good. For companion study I got to study with their teacher whihc again was like a little lesson just for me. My teacher finally came back and our elders weren't back so I wen't and had companion study just with him. Haha again a little lesson tailored just for me! I also got to pick his brain apart. It was such an interesting experience yesterday I just felt the spirit very close by me all day teaching me litttle things....things I've learned in the MTC up to that point were connecting and I was adding to them and relearning and realizing idk just a lot of stuff fit together and I felt so excited to go to California. I also realized how close i've gotten to people here. It was cool to just be with my teachers. And the sweetest thing Elder alvarado aka ninja elder! kinda told me thanks for being there for him here and stuff in a guy way said thanks and was kinda having a sensitive moment. haha! and then pulled something out of his pocket...his dad had sent him a set of military scriptures the little red ones and someone had stolen my little bom I always carry around....he wanted to give me the set of scriptures. Idk maybe that sounds dumb but it was just a very thoughtful thing for him to thinkto do all on his own and i knew it meant something to him. He also told me and hma walker to send him a letter if anyone in cali is crazy and he'll come "bust out some MMA on them!" lol.

Fam i love you so much!! I just know this gospel is true and that the church, the actual church is the church that God restored to the Earth through Joseph smith and it is true. The Book of MOrmon is true. If you don't have a sure testimony of it I know you can if you ask and you should! It will bless your life so much!!! I am so excited to get to talk to you!!! I love you!!!! thank you so much for your support and prayers. I can feel them and wouldn't vve have as great of an experience here without them. I am so sad to be leaving the MTC. Dal and tate you will love it here! I can't wait for you!!!

It was so weird to not be with hma walker today, we had pday down to a science to get everything done we wanted to! So I probly won't write too many letters today packing and errands to run and I am with a bunch of new people a lot. not sure if everything will fit in my bags haha but we'll try!!!

My fav quote this week "When everthing around you says you can't, believe in the part of you that says you can"
"its not who you aren't its who you are and being yourself is being great!"
"Its often the small moments in life that bring th most joy, don't let them pass you by"
the prez said I don't want to call you greenies but i do want to tell you this "green things grow and ripe things rot" haha

LOVE!!!!!
Hma Mulliner!!
