MTC Week 4


Hello!!!!!!!!!!

How are all of you?  I am good.  I like the MTC and I like being on a mission but I am getting weird and sometimes I miss being normal.  If I shake somebody's hand for too long I feel wicked.  Haha, no I am just kidding I'm not there yet, but I probably will be by next week.  I leave for Chile in two weeks!!!!!!!!  Agh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  I get my travel plans Thursday or Friday.  Isn't that scary?  In two and a half weeks I will be in South America singing hymns in Spanish at church with a bunch of Chileans.  I think I am going to miss speaking English...I have a very nice Spanglish going on though right now...Fun, fun...

I am the coordinating sister so I have to make sure all the little Hermanas are taken care of all the time and some of them are pretty emotional and not coping and need to change, but can't...So I never get to bed on time because I have to visit them every night and half the rooms are on different floors.  Plus nobody tells me anything about my responsibilities so I am expected to know everything and everybody asks me questions, but no one has ever informed me of the answers.

As the coordinating sister I get to meet all the new districts and talk to them a lot.  There is one kid in the newest district that is just so weird.  He is funny, but he's so awkward that I just don't know how to respond.  Like, today I walked past him and he was staring at me creepily in the breakfast line and I was like, "Oh...hi...um..." weird...I just don't know what he expects people to do when he is so awkward...haha...it is funny.  It is interesting how often I am reminded that the missionaries are little 18/19 year old boys and 19-21 year old girls because they certainly act their age.  Did I mention that 3 out of 5 boys in my district are 18?  And one of my companions is 19.  Pretty cool huh?

I sang in church this Sunday.  I sang "I Need Thee Every Hour."  First I was going to accompany a girl on the piano and she was going to sing, but we started practicing and she was like, "This is a hard song.  Hey do you sing?  Do you just want to sing something a cappella with me?"  No...no I don't just want to sing a cappella with you.  But I did because I am nice and it sounded alright so it is just as well.  It is kind of ironic though because the Mission President just "happened" to be there that day because they released one of the counselors in the branch presidency.  But at least we have a branch and so there weren't very many people there.

Well I kind of need to go so I am going to go.  I love you though:}

Love
Lexie
