Que Tal Familia?
Another week down! Next
week we get our travel plans which means I only have 3 weeks left here.
I´m excited to go, but I am also a little nervous about being thrown out
into the big world. Basically they allow you to get comfortable for a
few weeks and then send you into another shock-mode when you reach the
field.
I got your letters!! Thank you so much! I loved hearing aobut the
party and how everyone was sick from the amount of food present. Way to
be family! Way to represent the Thacker name! So, Mom you wanted to know
about the MTC food. Well, I was kind of holding off because I didn't
want you to worry about me and send me food that I really didn't need to
eat, but I have to say that eating in the MTC can be a little sketchy.
The food is just highly processed and I learned my first couple of
weeks here that I had to choose wisely what I could and could not
consume. They do have
a wrap line that allows you to create your own wrap, and I have been
eating wraps everyday for most of my meals. Needless to say I have
become sick of wraps and now no longer know what to eat. It´s like
walking into the same restaruant everyday and realizing that your
favorite dish isn't good anymore, but you don´t like anything else they
have to offer. But that's ok with me. The Elders in my district have been
talking a lot lately about how much weight they have gained here. I know
that your treats Mom have not helped their situation! One elder has
gained 15 or 16 pounds!! We´ve been here for 6 weeks. Haha, I just
laugh. He´s like 6´7´´ and can handle it!
This week was kind of strange, but still good. I just
deleted half of my letter because I wrote out all the things that
happened but they just sounded so negative so please understand that I
only have 5 minutes left and that's why this letter is so short. We
got a new district in our zone and we got 3 new hermanas. They are super
fun and they are all serving in South America. The funny thing is that
they are going to the MTC in Peru and they will leave the MTC before we
do!
This week we also had to say goodbye to two sisters in our zone.
They both left super early in the morning but we always get up to help
them finish packing and send them on their way. However one of the
sisters was supposed to go to the travel office at 5 in the moroing
yesterday. Well, her alarm didn't go off and the front desk paged our
residence to find out where she was. Talk about your worst nightmare
coming true. Well, we ended up getting her out the door
in fifteen minutes and luckily the bus waited for her. I hope she made
her flight! WE will be setting three alarm clocks on the day of our
departure that is for sure!
Oh, so the new sisters in our zone got here yesterday
and they speak better Spanish than I do. One of the sisters asked me a
questions and I was like, "What!!" I told her I could only talk to her
about gospel related principles since that is all we study. It was kind
of funny!
So anyway, my time is up but I love you! I know the gospel is
true. Jesus Christ is the center of it!
