Well Family and Friends it has been quite the week here at the MTC!! UNFORTUNATELY Our little secret is not working, so I am under a time constraint while writing this letter... it's too bad because I have a lot to say!
Well, if you want more details, you are just gonna have to write me for them, and I PROMISE to write you back! (i just sent out 12 letters!!)
OK sooo Saturday is was the biggest day this week! First for SURPRISES: we were teaching our very first lesson in Thai (it actually went pretty well!) and the family that we were teaching has a son in Thailand right now who is the office elder and he told them... are you ready for this... WE ARE LEAVING ONE WEEK EARLY!!!!!!! This is huge! Our district is so ready though! We are learning the language at a much faster rate than the districts before us. AND we will learn 10 times more in Thailand than we would at the MTC. SO that was awesome news that we are all excited for! I will now be leaving AUGUST 10th!
Now for ADVENTURES: So one of the new sisters who came in this week had had an infection after getting her wisdom teeth out and took antibiotics for it. Well the infection was coming back, and since she didn't know where to go, I got to go with her to the health clinic. So we got to walk off campus, which I thought was really awesome! BUT! it gets better... She had to get a prescription so we got to GO OUT INTO THE REAL WORLD!!! hahaha. It was crazy. We went to the Rite Aid in Provo and I actually went into the store! Who knew stores and regular people still actually exist!! haha. So the craziest part was being in a public place with my tag. It hit me right then, wow, I am really representing something way bigger than I am. So with that experience, and knowing that I am now going a week earlier, that has really caused me to take it up a notch in both my language and spiritual preparation for Thailand.
I am SOOOO excited to get out there and teach this wonderful message!
OK... last but not least, REUNIONS: a big big thank you to Chris and Annie for coming to the 7am session this morning and having breakfast with me!! It was so fun to see them and they just brightened up my day! AND it's Annies bday, so Happy Birthday Annie!! Love you guys!
I am doing so so good here. The homesickness has lessened as the anticipation of getting out to Thailand increases! I love where I am, I love what I am doing, and I love ALL of you who are supporting me in this. I really couldn't do it with out you!
So PLEASE friends, keep writing me! Your letters all me so much, from every single one of you!!
I miss you, I love you, I pray for you
Love Love Love,
Melissa
