So this week was an amazing week to have! The first of the week was just super normal until I was able to go see Elder Bambi Clark! That was a super cool thing! Ha so on sundays we always have a devotional that everybody from main campus and west campus go to. But since our branch president makes us go to choir we always have to be up there an hour early! When we went up I knew that Bambi was going to be up there so I brought Elder Trotter with me and we started looking around for him before we had choir! We saw a couple of missionaries and noticed they had Russian name tags on so we went up to them and asked if they knew where an Elder Clark might be! They said they were in his district or zone or something and said he was in the lunch room eating where all the Russian goers are sitting. So Elder Trotter and I snuck in and and around the Salad bar and I was able to get all the way to him and tap him on the shoulder before he saw me so when he looked up it was super cool to see him! hahah kinda like one of those movies where they haven't seen each other in a long time and then they finally do and its super cool but this time wasn't as romantic... Haha just more of an Elderly Bromance going on if that makes sense! But seriously it was so awesome to be able to sit at the devotionals with him and "pay attention" to the speaker on sunday night! hahaha but tuesday night we had Neil L. Anderson come and talk to us about the power of the Book Of Mormon and all the different doctrines in it! It was really cool and special too because he made it more of an interactive talk where we all read scriptures together and would share our thoughts on everything together! And then this week we had an investigator we have had for awhile that we have become really good friends with while we have been here and hang out with when we don't have class. So to give a little background Gabriel is about 50 years old and is from Chile, lived in Buenos Aires for awhile and now lives in Utah. Now I would type the whole story out but I don't have even close to enough time so i will include some pictures at the end of this email that has the whole story written out! Super amazing experience though!
So yeah everyone is asking how ready I am to leave the MTC! and the answer is I am more ready than you could ever know! Seriously I have really enjoyed and learned so much while I have been here at the MTC but there is only so much time you can handle here before you feel like you need to just jump all the way into the language and learn with application! I am so ready to go to Argentina! I have felt the amazing feeling of loving your investigators and how tough it is going to be to leave friends like Elder Cragun, Elder Trotter, Elder Reynolds and Gabriel but I am so ready.
So this sunday is supposed to be super special though! With it being Easter Sunday we are having an extra special guest come and talk to us! And we have been treated with extra special ones like David Archuleta, Richard Elliot, and Neil L Anderson! So it makes me think we will probably be having Thomas S Monson or Jeffrey R Holland coming to talk to us this Easter Sunday! So I'm sure I will have tons to talk to you about on monday when I peace out from the MTC and go to Buenos Aires! I met a tognan Hermana here at the MTC who is headed to Buenos Aires South like 2 weeks after I am and then I found out that there is a Hermana named Kaitlyn Wright who is down there also I think that went to Lone Peak and played on the girls soccer team! And also I was a host again for the new missionaries and one of the sisters said her missionary is down in south buenos aires so she has a lot to talk to me about what it will be like down there! as you can probably tell I can't wait to say the least... Love you all! Hope life is going as good as ever! Miss you!
