PIZZA...
Hola a la gente del mundo! That's all I know how to say in Spanish, so don't expect me to say more... just kidding, my Spanish is actually coming along pretty well and I'm pretty hyped about it!!
How are you guys all doing? I hope you all are doing well!
I'll just tell you about my week! It was pretty uneventful, but still good.
On Thursday, it was pday and we went to the temple to do a session which was awesome! I love starting off my day with the temple even though I'm asleep during most of it... its the thought that counts. We went to an Archeological Museum today and it was super cool!! I didn't get any pics because I forgot my camera but it was so sick. There were some cool marble carvings, old coins, mummies and a bunch of stuff like that! That night, we had a devotional video by Elder Bednar and I had a thought after that I thought was cool! We need to be FEARLESS in doing missionary work (and in doing anything important to us) because we may only get one chance to do it, so we need to make the most of the time we have. Also, today I tried on a super cool coat in Sara and I decided that I'm going to buy a sick European coat and scarf so I fit in.
On Friday we didn't do a lot except learn some grammar and study Spanish. We also found out that from now on we are teaching two investigators which will be a lot harder. Also I found out that for the park I was in a trio with Elder Carter and Mcnasty! Should be fun.
Saturday was park day and it was a little harder than the last Saturdays because it rained so there weren't a lot of people out. I also decided that I seriously need to get out of my comfort zone and go out of my way to talk to as many people as i can. I also realized how grateful I am to be in Spain and to be able to have the opportunity to practice proselyting! Also we had to start fasting after lunch today until lunch tomorrow... I'll probably die.
On Sunday we ended our fast at 12pm, and I didn't realize how hungry I was until we got our food... man I love food so much.
Monday was the first day we had to prepare lessons for 2 investigators, but me and my comp found a loophole and just used old lessons for both of them. #beastmode We didn't have to give our second lesson though, because we were saying goodbye to the French and Portuguese speakers because they leave on Tuesday morning. It was actually way harder to see them go than I thought, but I know that they'll be doing great things. PLUS, since they were leaving we got to eat PIZZA for dinner and have some super good ice cream for dessert!! IT WAS SO DANG GOOD!! Also today from 9-12, Elder Kohlström and I spoke only Spanish to each other and it was so hard haha
Tuesday in the mtc we had some more Spanish lessons and I actually learned a lot! My comp and I gave a sick lesson on the restoration of the gospel and we killed it!! It was so cool, because we both spoke Spanish so well! The French and Portuguese speakers left today too. I'll miss Elder Patea (going to the France Lyon mission), Elder Bize (going to France Paris mission), and Elder Oliveira (going to Portugal somewhere).
Wednesday was pretty uneventful, but elder Kohlström and I realized that when you subtract Saturdays, Sunday and pdays from our schedule (because we don't do anything important on those days) we only have 10 real days left in the mtc! I'm so excited to get out of here haha. I'll miss my roommates a lot though, they're are awesome guys. Plus I might miss Dylan.. probably not though
I love you guys a ton and I will do my best to answer any emails you send me! Por favor, keep me updated on snow and the Utah jazz! I'm so deprived of the real world when I'm in the mtc
I wish you all the best,
Elder (Dirty Noah) Johnson
Dylan and his Yoda onesie
(a little loopy after a long day...)
The cool coat from Zara
(I think I could get into this Euro style)
Elder Kohlström, Elder Patea, and Elder Peterson took my tablet
I miss my mohawk...(my mom however, does not!!)
