Well we got a surprise schedule change this week so p day is now occurring on wednesday for the rest of the mtc experience. This makes for a short email cause we had less time to have these amazing experiences here.
In all honestly it has been, for the most part, the same as the weeks previous. However we did get the awesome title of "solo español" showing to the world that we are officially in our 5th week of mtc. We're supposed to only be speaking Spanish but that is easier said than done. We you try to for sentences you realize that you know a bunch of the important words but all the small words just seem to slip your mind. So thats what we'll be working on for the next couple of weeks.
I would love to say that the food has gotten better or I've at least adapted to it but that would be a lie. All I can say is it get the job done, we have food that us most of the time edible so like no complaints here. However I do want to share one of what seems to be a weekly tradition here at the CCM. Once a week we'll get a plate full of random assortments of meat. At first no one paid attention to it but after a few weeks of this we found out that it's leftovers. So apparently any of the meet we don't eat that week gets mixed up into a meat salad and served to us. And imma have to say it's been one of out better meals.
Other than that it's been an uneventful week, we have had a super chill pday the temple is closed so we weren't able to go but it has been amazing. We just finished a district pickball tournament which was super fun to just connect with everyone and even had a championship trophy which is just an empty jug that contained our fresh water but it's a symbol of victory.
Quick thought coming from the talk "Be ye therefor perfect - eventually" which is probably one of the best talks I've read. It talks about how now one is able to be perfect in this life, it's a unrealistic goal that had only ever been done through Jesus Christ. It says to not be hard on yourself IF you are trying. As we try God will help us become perfected theough the atonement and through our savior. So just a quick thought for yall, don't be so hard on yourself, don't be looking to do everything right the first time, the only thing you have to do is to try.
Yall are all amazing, love everyone!
