CRAZY WEEK
So a ton of missionaries got reassigned temporarily to state missions because their visas haven't come through yet. An elder in my zone got reassigned to Nashville, so to all my tennesseans, if you see an Elder Prusse tell him Sister Smoot says "yeehaw". No worries though because everyone I know going into my mission got their visas! Seriously a miracle. My roommate Tenille who has been reassigned to SLC for the past three transfers got her visa as well and is going to be joining me in the field!!! I miss that girl. Tender mercy for sure.
I'm still in shock it's already pday. These upcoming days are gonna fly by! On Wednesday all the filipino missionaries are leaving to manila that have their visas and it is sooo unreal!! I am definitely not ready but I know that Heavenly Father is gonna be right by my side the whole journey.
We had two birthdays in our district, so for Elder Wilson's bday we ate 100 chicken tenders as a district (i literally had 4) and then today is Elder Ingram's bday and this morning for breakfast we did the tower challenge. The tower challenge is when you eat all of the cereal out of the dispenser haha it was so awkward because so much attention was drawn towards us and the manager even came out to tell us that we were using too many cups?? okay??? We finished in like 30 minutes lmao. Each person was supposed to have 3 cups each but i literally had 1 1/2 and made the elders pick up my slack. They love me ;) but on a real note, I'm going to miss my district sooo much. I think the hardest part of me having to leave the mtc is no doubt gonna be having to leave all of them. okay lang, theyre all gonna thrive in the ppines.
It's crazy to think that I've only been here for like 5 weeks. I have learned sooo much spiritually in the amount of time being here. One of my favorite things about the MTC is in the new buildings they have huge murals with a scripture by them. I'll attach my favorite mural below. SOBRANG MAGANDA.
Since this week was wild with the new reassignments and everyone checking everyday to see if their visa had come, our teacher shared a general conference talk 'Called to the Work' by Elder Bednar. I have been pondering a lot about how he said that "you are called to the work. you were not 'called' to the place. you are assigned to the place." read it. its mabuti
alam ko nang totoo ang ebanghelyo
oh also, one of the elders in my district falls asleep just as much, if not, more than me. Who would've thought it was possible? not me. I am not a lost cause.
& its week 6 here, yet I still accidentally call Sister Robertson, Riley. What can ya do
tell everyone you love them, palagi pumili ng tama (lmao idek grammar ppines is gonna be lit @jed @ty)
MAHAL KITA magbabasa Mosiah 17
xoxo Sister Smooty
