Its been another fantastic week here in the MTC.
This past week we had a huge rain storm and in most places the rain came up to my ankles. It was crazy.
This past week we were told that there are going to be a lot of missionaries comingtonight. Apparently the Argentina MTC is full and so 23 of those missionaries are now coming to this one and the Peru MTC is also full so about 20 are coming here instead of that one as well. So about 200 new missionaries should be coming in tonight and early tomorrow! Once those new missionaries come in we will be up to about 800 missionaries. Its crazy that when i got here there was only 300. This will now be the 2nd biggest MTC in the world after provo (who has about 3,000 missionaries)
A lot of missionaries have been getting stuff stolen out of thier bags and closets in their homes. Sad right! The girl i run with got $200 dollars stollen, a sister from my jr. high that is here with me got $200 dollars stollen as well, and then 2 elders in my district, one got $100 stolen out of his backpack and then the other elder got his North Face coat stollen out of his closet. (he needs that too, he is going to Pocotello Idaho.) I never locked my closet before all of this happened this week, but now we were told we need to lock our homes and closets whenever we are not there.
We still have 2 investigators we are teaching plus we got 2 more yesterday. The 2 new investigators are other elders here and so we teach them and then they teach us. So me and my companion had to make up an investigator situation and now get taught. It is really cool!
I learned a new verse to Book of Mormon stories this week, although i recommend not singing it in Primary. It goes like this:
Book of Mormon battles that my teacher told to me
are about the violence in Ancient History
Chopping peoples heads off and returning arms to kings
Take their land, burn their homes, and their things.
I was able to finish the Book of Mormon this week! i started the Thurday after i got here so it took me 3 weeks and 3 days. I loved reading it so much!!!
Everything else is same old, same old. The food is still really good, my roomates are awesome, my companion is great, spanish is still improving each day, and the weather is beautiful!
Hope you all have a great week,
love you all,
Hermana Warner
