This week was so awesome! I can't believe that i leave in 5 days for Puerto Rico! I'm so excited but pretty nervous, and the CCM has been so amazing!!
Okay so I realized I forgot to tell a funny story last week so now I'm making up for it, lols!
okay so first story, this week the International Director for the MTC came here to inspect and teach us this week! And on friday the day he came we had the teachers and everybody come into our classes and were just like "in 10 min the guy is going to be here and so everybody needs to go clean their rooms and make things spotless!" so then like 2 min later the whole CCM was just like frantic you just heard vaccuums everywhere and everybody was grabbing cleaning supplies, and the funniest were the teachers who started hanging up the purpose and different posters in all of the classrooms! it was a funny sight to see! haha and then of course the next day they are repainting everything inside and out of the MTC, hahaa i love this CCM.
Another story, okay so background, allot of time for lunch and dinner a lot of us make grilled cheese and like nutella sandwiches and all of the cooks always laugh at us and say we eat too much, so 2 days ago we go into the kitchen and all of the cabinets are locked! noo so sad haha they just said that we eat too many snacks, and then the next morning we wake up and open our door and there is a treadmill just sitting there! like what?? it takes up like half of the sisters hallway! haha we think they are trying to tell us something...! haha lol jk but all of us hermanas just think its hysterical! haha
okay so I'm not sure if these stories even make sense but when they happened we were all just laughing so so hard!
Last Friday we had the opportunity to go on splits! My companion was from Guatamela and she had been out for only around 2 months and she was awesome! We went on the bus for about 40 min, and the area that we were in was awesome , and just very very humble. We had the opportunity to teach one lesson and then go contacting! I realized I'm going to have to work even harder to get this language they speak so so fast but it was such a great experience:)
Also on Tuesday we had the opportunity to hear from Elder Neil L. Anderson! He came and spoke to the Dominican Republic missions and us and we had the opportunity to go to the devotional! it was so so good and he gave tons of great advice for us, it was incredible! also we got to all shake his hand! My heart was so incredibly happy!:)
Anyways so now only 5 more days until I leave! I have absolutely loved this Dominican Republic MTC so so much! I have had so many spiritual experiences and have met the most incredible people here! I can't imagine being anywhere else, and I think that everyday I learned something that Christ needed me to learn so that I could go out and preach his Gospel.
I have grown in so many ways and learned so much that have made me so grateful for this gospel and so excited to share it! I love you all so much, thank you for your kind letters! You are all amazing!
mucho amor,
Hermana Zimmerman:)
