Dear Mom, etc,
And here we are again! My companion
and I have decided that there are only 2 days in the week at the MTC: Sunday and Tuesday,
and all of the other days just pass by in a blur. We did have an interesting
highlight in the week though when the drinking fountain by our classroom
exploded, and that was fun. My companion was pushing the button while I was
filling my water bottle because my hands were full, but the water didn't quite
get the memo when she let go, so it just kept on squirting. And squirting.
About two feet into the air. The teacher came out to see what happened, smacked
the drinking fountain, said "nope," and walked away. We had to get on
a bus to go test out a mock room at the west campus, so I'm not ever sure how
they fixed it. Our district seems to have that kind of luck though. I won't
bother to go into detail about the orange juice that exploded in our room last
week... I found out that my district is part of a pilot program that used
elearn Spanish before coming to the MTC and now we have iPads while in the MTC.
It turns out we're the only ones who are part of the program and I thought it
was all normal for everybody. It's kind of cool to think about, and I think
that's also one reason why I didn't report to the Mexico MTC, so I could be
part of this program. I know that I'm supposed to be where I am and be with the
people I am with. I love my district so much! We had "District Home
Evening" (pretty much FHE because they're like a family) last night and
the Spirit was so strong! We talked about the scriptures and what we learned in
our personal studies and our favorite things about being a missionary. It was
just us sitting in a circle in a classroom, without teachers or anyone else and
I learned so much from them. My favorite thing about being a missionary is
having constant reminders every day of the truly important things in life and
always wanting to be better. I come closer to my Heavenly Father and Savior
Jesus Christ each day and learn so much! I can't imagine how I never truly
realized before just how phenomenal a blessing it is to have the Gospel in my
life! I'm sorry this week's email is going to be short, but thank you all for
your love and support! I realized that last week I accidentally mistyped my
dear friend's name. It's Hermana Poirier, and her email is libbie.poirier@myldsmail.net. She is still a
wonderful example to me and a witness that God really does know His children
and cares about each one individually!
Lots of love from Hermana Burton, I
hope everything is going well!
My district!
