We taught a ton and this week I feel like I actually learned how to be a missionary rather than what to teach as a missionary. We did a lot of activities that helped us towards the goal of Teaching People, Not Lessons. Something I am not very good at in Spanish is just having normal conversations and getting to know people, but they kind of taught us how to do that finally!
On Valentines day we woke up early and left some Valentines for everyone in the zone:) Also, all the Hermanas dressed in all black... because we're dorks!
I also realized this week how amazingly blessed I was to get the teachers I did! They are literally the two best Spanish teachers in the MTC. They have such strong testimonies and are amazing at Spanish. I am so so grateful I got them! Hermano Kartchner, one of our teachers, has incredible stories of miracles on his mission. He probably is the person who has inspired me the most out of anyone I have met out here! He has a motivational story and a super motivational testimony. He was a missionary who was dedicated to being exactly obedient and he received immense blessings from it! I want to be as nice and funny and obedient as he is.
Tuesday devotional Elder Ballard came to talk to us! He talked about being the best YOU you can be and one thing I really love that he said was "You are the only one limiting your success." I know that when I put my all into the missionary work and say each night on my knees that I did MY best, that I will see my mission as successful.
Les quiero todo!
I should be getting my flight plans this week... ahhhh!
Don't count the days, make the days count!
