Oh my goodness! What a great few days! After arriving at the MTC and getting all situated, I met my companion. We have the same major at BYU and actually were in a few classes together. She's so amazing. We're perfect for each other and we both work well together, I love it! My other roommates are all so great, we get along so well! They are all so determined to serve the Lord which is so great. Well where to begin... I've already taught 3 lessons in Spanish... umm WHAT?? me?!? talking in Spanish?? yup! Heavenly Father has definitely just taken over. i would not have been able to do what I've done in the last few days without him. And because of it, i feel confident for the upcoming week. Ok so I'm going to share a hilarious Espanol story: So there we were, my companion and I, teaching mateo. We start off and we're doing great. We followed up on comments, we taught the lesson... it was going great. So my companion was sharing her testimony about the Book of Mormon and then turned to me so that I could share mine. So I start in and I was doing pretty good but then I couldn't remember, for the life of me, how to say, "Peace" in Spanish. I looked at my companion and asked her and she hesitantly said, "Suave." I looked at her like, "uhh I don't think that's the right word," but I said it anyway. Everyone in the room started cracking up (Oh dear what did I just say??) When we got done teaching the lesson we quickly looked up what suave means. So apparently I said that reading the Book of Mormon helps me feel smooth! Well it definitely could have been worse!
The food is fine here in the MTC, the gym time that we get is amazing, even though I made a complete fool of myself in kickball. The district that I'm in is great! The elders are so stinkin funny.... so immature but funny. I can't believe that I've already been here over a week! I'm already starting to see and understand why mission are so great! I've done a lot of things in life... bungee jumping, skydiving, you know, the usual. but NOTHING compares to the feeling of helping/inviting someone to come to Christ. The spirit is sooo strong every time we teach. We recently worked on door contacting.... scare me to death. But my companion and I were the only ones that actually got in! Being here has been tough but amazing at the same time! I can't wait to see what the next year and a half brings me!
Love you all,
Hermana Lythgoe
