Hey everyone! Sorry if my last email was confusing... THIS was my last week of the mtc. I guess I'm just super excited to go! :) This week was a roller coaster of emotions since I can't wait to go and be a missionary in Cape Verde, but I've also come to love my district and teachers way too much to be leaving. haha but you can all look forward to real photos, and no more zoom screenshots, at least after this email ;)
First of all, HAPPY BELATED FOURTH OF JULY!! We are so blessed to live in this country and get to enjoy so many freedoms. God Bless the USA!
This week we were presented with the SYL challenge, which stands for Speak Your Language. So, each of us missionaries tried our best to speak portuguese from Monday to Friday for immersion practice. I had some fun teaching my little brother phrases that he would repeat to me. (don't worry, I did talk to my fam in english once in a while)
This week during one of our lessons, we were asked to make a list of blessings that we see in our life that have come from the gospel. The one I want to share is hope. Through Christ, we can have so much hope in our lives as we come closer to Him and learn of His sacrifice for all of us. I love the Savior so much and know that even through hard times, we are able to learn how to be more like Him, which will make every bump in the road worth it.
These last six weeks have been amazing and I have learned so much about the gospel, and some portugese on the side. haha but don't worry, I am still prepared to learn that MTC portugese is very different than real world portugese. :) I fly out Wednesday night and will hopefully get to Cape Verde by Friday afternoon. :) Hope you all have a fantastic week full of laughter and again I ABSOLUTELY LOVE getting to hear about your lives, so don't hesitate to give me a little update! <3 Love you all :)
