One More P-Day then off to Korea!‏

Blah Blah Blah... Due to Daryl leaving to Korea soon and my slight disappointment in her for not coming home after my many bribes, I shall send her boxes of fattening desserts. So she will get fatter. I will also workout more so I will have a rocking bod when she comes home and then she will be jealous she didn't stay home and work out and get a new puppy. Here's her email... also I've been denied Sunday stalking and visits :( another reason to make her fat lol.

Happy Wednesday Everybodyyyyy!!

Okay so let's start off with saying that this past week has been the busiest week of my life here at the MTC! But I love every bit of it!! So. Like I said, last Wednesday we got so many new Missionaries and it was mine and the Zone Leader's responsibility to get all of them to their meetings 10 minutes early and on time to everything. I don't know much about Farmers and herding but MAN. Herding a bunch of Missionaries to one place is a lot harder than we thought!! haha There was so many of them and we were running all over campus to find them and herd them back with the rest of the new missionaries. Lots of Interviews, Meetings, and "Welcome to the MTC!" and being the STL a lot of the Sisters were sick this week with health issues but no worries we are alive and well!

ALSO. The Three Kaufusi bunch here at the MTC has dwindled down to 2! Elder Jackson Kaufusi left to Australia this past Monday and I wish him the best of luck! Also my other Cousin Sister Chloe Cox left to Virginia as well. I tried holding back my tears when they left but I love them all so much and know they will be amazing Missionaries. Not a lot of people get to say they had 3 cousins with them here at the MTC! What a blessing!

This past week was amazing. I have learned so much. One of our Sisters, got dry socket from a tooth being pulled and was really sick one day. She couldn't get out of bed and her and her Companion were fairly new. I didn't want her Companion to miss out on her Language time to learn so I told her I would be with her companion while she was in class. The first thought that came to my mind was "Stress" for I was missing 3 hours of my learning time as well and I was scared I would fall behind the others in my District.  I had been In N out of class all week. But I went to visit her and sat on the ground next to Sis. C(who was sick) and we decided to read our scriptures together. I started to read to her and it was such an amazing experience. I sat there feeling foolish of myself because I was so worried on my Language study rather than serving and helping others and the Lord helped me realize that! My purpose here isn't to learn the language. It's to invite, help, love, and bring others unto Christ! The language will come. Anyways We got talking and she told me of her conversion story.

She is from the Philippines, and was the first in her family to be baptized. One of her friends was a Mormon and told her she should start meeting with the Missionaries. Of course her family refused but she would tell her Mom every week "If I clean the house, do all the chores etc, can the Missionaries come over?" And of course her Mom said yes. Long story short she was baptized and later her whole family followed. She loves Missionary work and volunteered in the Philippines to be a Missionary before her actual Mission call to Korea! So she was serving as a Missionary for 18 months already before her actual Mission Call here! She told me she loves missionary work. She went through a lot of health problems but she shared with me a bunch of experiences she had and how the Lord had blessed her. I was amazed. She left everything to come serve a mission and I just love her so much! It made me realize that it really is all about serving others. It was a very humbling experience for me. She also got to meet with the Missionary Couple that taught her and converted her the other day! It was so exciting. 

LIFE AT THE MTC:

1. Had to give the Opening prayer last night at the Devotional. Brother Uceda came and spoke and it was amazing. I was so nervous to get up and say the prayer haha I WAS DYING. But no worries I didn't face plant it on the ground or anything. 

2. I got a package full of candy the other day and I made a candy trail for all the Elders to follow down the stairs of our building. My Companion and I were hiding and you just see all these Elders come around the corner picking up Hi-Chews off the ground yelling "KAPUSHI I KNOW THIS WAS YOU!" (They don't want to eat anymore candy because apparently they are all getting "Fat" as they put it.)

3. Quote(s) of the Week at the MTC:
 "So. I hear the MTC has wifi.... but... we wouldn't know.."

"Sister Kaufusi I've been training to fight your Brother Bronson."-All the Elders

Anyways I love you all and I hope you have an amazing week! Also we get our flight plans to Korea this Friday so that is exciting!!
