Hey Everyone!
So this week has been a good one. It's crazy how fast this
week has gone by. Well the whole last month actually. I can now say I have 17
months left not 18 which is the strangest thing. It's weird to know I only have
2 weeks left in the MTC (Missionary Training Center), however, I am very
excited to get out to the field.
My Spanish is coming along nicely I think, although I
defiantly am a gringo haha. Also I am a little overwhelmed about going into the
field because the other day our teacher, Hermano Santillan, FaceTimed one of
his investigators from Chile that got baptized (keep in mind that Chilean's
speak extremely fast compared to most Spanish speakers), and WOW. I could not
understand one thing that sister said. It was slightly terrifying.
Apparently the FBI have been trying to get the MTC to
"share their secrets" on how they teach us languages so fast, but
there is really nothing we can do to help with that because the only secret is
that we have God on our side helping us.
So nothing super eventful happened this week except that
Elder Dale G. Renlund from the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles came and spoke to
us last week on Tuesday. It was an awesome talk about developing faith in Jesus
Christ and in His Atonement.
Awesome Quote: "Faith isn't by chance, it's by
choice."
Also I am in the MTC Choir and we are premiering a new song
next week written by Elder David A. Bednar called One By One, and we are
singing it with 5 of his adorable grandchildren.
Thank you all so much for the love, prayers and support. I
really appreciate it.
I hope y'all have a fantastic week!
Love,
Your Sister Rebecca Lynn Barnes
