> Hello!!
> Oh my... soo a crazy week in the MTC! A lot of really great things and some kinda sad things! First off, we will start with all of the great stuff that happened to me this week! First of all, I GOT MY TRAVEL PLANS!! I leave next Tuesday! I have to be at the travel office at 5 in the morning and have a one way flight into JFK airport and i am sooooooo excited!!! I can not believe how fast it came it is incredible! I am extremely excited yet scared at the same time. I am scared to go into the real world after being here for so long and having this constant spiritual charge all the time! It is going to be so weird!
> The sad...My companion and two other roommates left TODAY! So it is really wierd! I have a new companion now named Elder Stuart! He is from Provo, Utah and is going to New Zealand speaking Chinese! He will be able to walk the path of mordor from "lord of the rings", so i am a little jealous!!!!! I am not going to lie! I also have two new roommates who are serving in Hong Kong who are also very cool.
> We had some amazing speakers come to the MTC this week!! First off, we had M. Russel Ballard! I have heard 3 Apostles in a row now!!! I am so lucky! After that, we heard from Sheri Dew! Both of them were amazing speakers! I am sure now you can see why i am going to miss it here so bad!
> We took a Chinese Culture class this week that was insane!!!! I had no idea the chinese were so superstitious! If you write their name in red ink, they take it as you wish them to have a shorter life! RED INK! If you pass a old man on the street, it is very rude. If you drum with your chopsticks, it is rude. If you stick your chopsticks in the rice and leave them, it is rude. If you cross your legs with the bottom of your shoe pointing at some one, it is rude! If you give them an odd number of fruit, it is rude! haha This should be very interesting! I will be sure to count how many times I accidently offend someone!
> I also had an amazing expierence at my TRC this week. (the thing where we have the fake investigator) She was a native from Taiwan and was extremely friendly! The lesson was going great, we were really working hard to find what she needed to hear as the investigator, asking and answering questions. The spirit was very strong in the room. Suddenly we went off on a tangent about how her parents will eventually see that this church is true and be proud of her. We bore testimony of this for almost half of our lesson. Her eyes started to fill with tears as she told us that in real life she had just joined the church and her parents were having a hard time accepting her choice. It was amazing I was soo grateful that heavenly father gave me that opportunity to be an instrument in his hands. It really got me excited to start off my mission! I hope that i can have many more of these experiences.
> Well this week was amazing! I hope that all is well for all of you! Thank you so much for all of your love and support! You are making this mission so great! I LOVE my mission! I am soo excited to really get started in New York NEXT WEEK!
