Week #6 from the MTC - This is it...MY LAST LETTER from the MTC


Hola familia,
 
Thank you for the sweet packages this week. This week is one of the best weeks so far. We got our travel plans this week and we leave on Monday, May 6th  at 6 in the morning. From SLC we go to Denver.  Way weird, I know.  And then from Denver we go to Santa Barbara. So be expecting a phone call around 7:30-9:30 MST.We arrive in Denver 11:35 and will be in California by 2:20.  I will be constantly calling you to keep you updating on how things are progressing as we are traveling. 

The Old Testament is way hard but is so interesting in the things that Moses had and Israel had covenants with.

Our teachers got switched around this week so we have a new investigator.  He seems really interesting.  We don't know for sure. I am trying to open my mouth more, i just feel like I have to plan everything I say pero I will be better at doing that. It will be pretty sad to leave the MTC because we got so close as a district.  Thank goodness some of our elders are flying out with us. One of the things that we are doing is that everyone in our district is going to get a preisthood blessing before they leave for their mission.

The thing I want to eat the most is probably some Cafe Rio so I will definitely be finding that place in the airport :) Although I would definitely love some of your home cooking. 

We went to the temple today.  Afterwards, we ate at the temple cafeteria.  The food at the temple today was amazing!  I really loved it.  It was way better than the MTC food. 

You can send the pics to my email account.   Hopefully I can see them.  I haven't really had any luck when opening pics. I have some pics for you, too. 

I am writing on Thursday because our schedule got switched.  So only for this week  PDAY is on Thursday. Helped host missionaries yesterday.  It was way fun. One girl was in my zone and she is going to Morristown, NJ Spanish speaking.  The other girl is going to the Netherlands. I'm so excited to leave MTC but so nervous at the same time. It will really be helpful to be fully immersed in the language. 

I get to call you this Monday and then again next Sunday because it Mother's day, so exciting!   

One of the things that I realized this week is how important the investigator really is.  What we receive as inspiration and revelation, is all for the investigator and not for us when we are teaching.

One of the funniest things happened today. We have gone and done our laundry at 3:00 in the morning for the past three weeks. Well, today the security guards came and said we can't be there that early.  But, we already had our laundry in the machines, so they said we could stay and finish it.  We told them that a lot of people come here really early to avoid the lines. A lot of people came before 6:00 which is when the laundry room really opens.   We can still get in since we have to swipe our cards. The people that work there haven't said anything or care that we are there that early. It's just really dumb because our last week is the week that they really check. Way funny.
 
That all that really happened this week.
 
I love ya so much and can't wait to talk to y'all.
 
love hermana fitzpatrick
