Week 2: "Best MTC in the World"
10:57 AM
So this week
has been just amazing for me. The Spain MTC is honestly the best MTC in
the world because there’s a lot of freedom.
I’ve decided
that today, I’ll talk about a typical day for me. So we wake up
at 6:30am every morning and shower. Then we go have breakfast, oh and
the food is actually pretty good here. Then basically, it’s just class
and practice teaching all day. We teach to 2 practice investigators every
day, and the preparation is incredibly strenuous, because it’s all in Spanish
and we really can’t use notes. But I’ve had some incredibly powerful moments in
the practice lessons.
So now I’ll
talk about our 3 teachers. Our first one is Hermono Moncho from
Valencia. Remember how I used to complain about my Spanish teacher who
only kind of knew Spanish? Well that prepared me for now. Hermano Moncho
is so funny, he speaks mostly Catalan but pretty good Spanish. He’s training to
be a pro French horn player and he served in Australia. He’s just so
funny.
Then there’s Hermana Martinez, and she’s got the sweetest spirit
of anyone in the world. She’s from Madrid and was a convert from the Catholic
Church and served a mission in Madrid as well. We all love her and she
makes me cry every day. Then there’s Hermono Visitin. And he is
from Venice, Italy and he served a mission in Rome, under President Kelly!!!
Which is so cool, so mom and dad, go ask them about Elder Visitin. He
really doesn’t speak amazing Spanish, but his Italian is perfect! So now
there’s my district. We love each other and occasionally hate each other,
but mostly we love each other. Me and elder whiting have been doing better and
we teach very well together.
I also
forgot to mention our two hermanas in our district, Hermana Milin and Hermana
Melton. They are super great! So honestly, my day is just study, study,
and more study. But we always have some fun every now and then, and we
are considered the crazy and fun district, which I don’t know if that’s good or
bad.
So last p day we went to
the Spanish royal palace and a huge cathedral and that was cool and
this p day we went to the mall. Last Saturday, we proselyted
in the park and I was with Elder Romney. We got told to (insert
swear word here) off quite a lot and I got my shoes spit on, but hey that’s all
in the fun of it! Needless to say, it was a difficult day at the park, but we
talked to a nice woman from the Philippines and a family from Finland. In
English though... which isn’t good for our practice. I’ve gotten really
used to the phrase soy catholico, no interesante so that’s good. Spain is
still Europe, so the work in a little difficult, but oh well.
Anyway, I hope all is well at home! Madrid is so gorgeous and i love that i get to see it. Oh and I forgot to mention, we go to the temple every p day morning and I love that so much. but yea, I pray for everyone back home every day, and i just want everyone to know that I am doing well, and I’m facing each day with a positive attitude. Madrid MTC is just the best, so sorry anyone who has to go anywhere else... haha just kidding. Anyway, send letters, I love getting them so much, and good luck with the rest of your weeks.

P.S. people
saw my photo book and saw my sister, and I’m pretty sure every elder in
this MTC would like to marry Alex hahaha. I just love this MTC, I’ve made
so many
friends and it’s just fun.
