Hello everyone :)
I hope everyone is doing well and that everything is going good. This past week has been great, full of many ups and downs. Lets just say that the last week struggle is soooo real. It's like having seniorites times like 1,000. Haha plus they decided to save the hardest grammar principles for this week so we were all just like cramming stuff into our little brains. I'm just hoping some of it will stick. But i do feel like i've been able to learn a lot more this last week and really get a pretty good grasp on Spanish before i get thrown into it on Monday :) This week i got to help host the new missionaries again here on the West Campus and i got to host MOOKIE :) it was the best!! So we got to catch up for a bit! She's so cute.
One of my Elders in my district found on that he possibly had lime disease. He needed a check up so they went the the doctor here and then he test positively for lime disease. He had to go in the next day to see if it was a false positive or if he would have to go home. It was awful news because my district and I are all way close. When we were told, most people were crying and we decided that we would do a district fast for him. After we had said our prayer to start our fast, I could feel the spirit so strong, and i KNEW that whatever happened was what Heavenly Father wanted to happen for Elder Dunne. The next day was long, but all day long i could feel the spirit and i knew that Heavenly Father had control of the situation. Right before we broke our fast, Elder Dunne returned from the doctor and they said they he did test positive for lime disease, but that he didn't have to go home. He will just be staying here for 2 more weeks to get treatment, and then will be able to go. I know that the fact that he still gets to go on his mission is a miracle. That because of the faith of my district, the power of priesthood and priesthood blessings, and knowing that through God all things are possible, Elder Dunne will still be able to go serve and i couldn't be more happy for him. :) the funny thing is that he told the other districts in our zone that he is staying longer because he didn't pass the Spanish test. So they are all now frantically studying for this test so they won't have to stay at the MTC longer... hahahaha
So most of my district is going to Mexico. There are 4 of us going to Costa Rica and the other 7 are going to Mexico. I'm not looking forward to saying goodbye to them. We have all grown so close together. We have had so many ups and downs, but I know that they will always have my back.
Well all i have to say is that i never thought this day would come, but I'm leaving Monday and couldn't be more excited. I'm soooo ready to go serve. Well actually i could probably use a whole lot more Spanish lessons.. Haha but I'm ready to get out of this place.
OH and there are 28 of us flying to Costa Rica together so that will be fun :)
Sorry this email is so random, and not too exciting but next week will be better :)
Love you all :)
