Hola!
It's another Thursday, so another p-day in my case. It's always a good time to get everything ready and prepared for the next week. We aren't able to go to the temple today or next p-day (my last two p-days) because the temple is being rennovated. I'm sad because I absolutely love the temple and when I get out into the field, I won't be able to go to often (like two times, maybe). I did enjoy the times that I was able to go though!
How are all of you doing?! What's new?! I know that all of you are staying pretty busy! I love hearing from you and all of the different things that are going on. :]
This week has been great!
Funny moment of the week: For language study, we come into the computer labs to practice and learn more of our language. They have sanitary wipes to wipe off the mouse, headphones, and keyboard before you use it. I went to get a sanitary wipe and I had pulled the one out and then there was another one coming out of the lid and so the lid wouldn't shut all of the way. I was concerned because then it would dry it out, so I decided to push the one in to the container which wasn't a good idea. The insert in the lid of the container is a tight squeeze and so when I went to push the wipe in my finger got stuck. And so when I pulled out my finger, it left a battle wound and I was bleeding and everything. I didn't tell anyone, but my companions saw that I was bleeding and so they asked what happened and I was like "I don't want to tell you, it's embarrassing!" Haha, but I did and we all laughed together. It is quite funny and I still have a mark from it. Luckily, one of the Elders (a boy scout of course) all prepared for anything had a band-aid to give me! I've learned my lessons with the sanitary wipes.
Favorite moment of the week: On Saturday, we celebrated the 4th of July and even had a celebration here at the MTC! Holidays are so different here because it just feels like another day, but Saturday night was the celebration and it got me in the patriotic spirit! We had a devotional and a man who is high up in the government spoke. It was really good! I love this country and I feel so blessed to live here. We sang patriotic songs and then a marching band with bag pipes and big drums came out and performed. I loved it! Afterward, we had ice cream and watched the fireworks from the Stadium of Fire. We could see them pretty good because we're pretty close to BYU. It was an awesome 4th of July!
Miracle moment of the week: Sunday was fast and testimony meeting. It's my last one here and so I really wanted to get up and share my testimony. Our branch president let us know that we could share our testimonies in english or spanish, whatever we felt like would let us express how we felt. I decided to try it in spanish, but let them know I would be sharing my testimony in "spanglish." Surprisingly, I wasn't very nervous at all and shared a lot of it in just spanish. It strengthened my testimony that if we have the faith, the Lord will help us when we need Him. I received a testimony by sharing my testimony, imagine that! Haha. In my testimony I shared a quote by President Eyring that I came across and I really like, it says: "Come unto Christ" is "the most important invitation you could ever offer and...the most important invitation anyone could accept." I find that to be such a powerful and true statement.
We only have 11 days left here at the MTC and I'm finding it to be more and more crazy everyday. I feel like there is so much I need to learn still, but I realize that I'll be constantly learning in the mission field. The mission is a learning experience EVERYday. I am constantly learning, it's great! Sometimes I wish I could just remember everything, though, because there are so many things that I don't ever want to forget. I read Jacob 5 yesterday and it's about the vineyard. One of the verses says something like.. the Lord will be working right along with you. It's so true, I feel the strength and power of the Lord everyday!
I wrote you a letter today and so you will be getting it in the mail! I love all of you so much. Thank you, thank you for your love and support!
Another verse that I've particularly loved this past week is Isaiah 53:3-5. It talks about our Savior, Jesus Christ and His atoning sacrifice for us. He knows exactly what we are going through. He loves each one of us so much. He loves YOU so much. If you get the chance to read it, you should!
I love this Gospel and I love being a missionary!
con mucho amor,
Hermana Robinson
I LOVE YOU soooo much!!!! I miss you soo much!!! LOVE YOU!
