CIAO!!
how is everyone doing!? this last week at the mtc has been awesome! we got to hear from M. Russel Ballard on sunday and then Larry Gibbons of the 70 on tuesday! something that general authorities have been repeating (at least that i've picked up) lately is to go forward without fear and in faith. i am trying so hard to make this true for myself. i have a lot of fears right now about teaching people in a language i can hardly understand, but at the same time, doing the things i am doing right now is forcing me to put ALL my trust and faith in the lord. its all a big process and i know in the end, if we all can just increase our faith in Christ, our fear will be defeated.
so i know mom's wondering (no he's not going to italy) david archuletta.. wait.. elder archuletta was in the mtc with me. he entered on the same day but he left to chile on monday. he sang in the devotional on sunday and man....... that kid is SO shy and SO timid but i am telling you... he is powerful. he sang The Spirit of God and i know the entire congragation felt the spirit. he sang the second verse in spanish which was really cool. monday morning i saw him walking and complimented him. ah yeah ;]
after the devotional we watched The Testiments. i forgot how much i love that film.
okay so crazy experience-
well not really but read this anyway...
monday night the fire alarm went off in the girls building at 1:30am. i think we all about died. the sound was SO loud and we were all just so dazzed. it think we layed there for like 5 minutes (still half asleep. and hoping it would just go away...) and finally i was just like 'what IS THAT!?!?!" i was pretty mad haha......... then one of the sisters in my room went to the door and there were sisters just BOOKING it out of the building. she was like 'uhhhhh........ sisters?! i think we should go!" "WHAT?!" i said... yeah........ so we threw on hoodies and ran out the door. we got evacuated to the parking lot and were all freezing our butts off in the mtc parking lot so they opened the gym for us which is right next to our building and went in there. we waited for anyone to tell us what was going on for like 20 minutes, thinking of who would pull the firealarm and hoping that whoever did gets sent home for being a fool.... finally they let us back into our building. literally the second we got back into bed all cozy, the alarm started going off AGAIN. i think sorella christensent about died. haha.... and then off a minute later. but we were all so mad. it took us all about 2 hours to fall back asleep and we still had to wake up at 6:30.........
turns out of was some sort of an electrical malfunction. but man.......... that suuuuuuuucked.
haha anyway.. i'm running out of time. but i love you all. write me!!!!!
