A speedy week here at the MTC. Feels like so much has happened but as soon as I sit down to write, I forget what happened. On Sunday we had a great church meeting with all the districts leaving for the field. They are all in Finland, Iceland, and Japan now and we're all sad to see them go but know they're doing well. We got new missionaries this Wednesday to replace them and they seem pretty cool so far, just need to warm up to the MTC life still. On Tuesday during the devotional review with the district, Bishop Murdock and his wife sat with us and the discussions were amazing. By the end they both said we are the most unified district they've seen after just three weeks and I thought that was funny compared to last week when one of the counselor's wife thought that none of us liked each other. The TRC appointments have been going pretty well but according to our "investigator's" responses, we are not doing well. But on Friday she was gone and we got someone new and it went amazing so I think we just have a difficult person. A missionary in our district, Elder Ellsworth, left for home yesterday as well after struggling for a while. We all supported his decision and were sad to see him go. But his companion, Elder Holmes, might be joining Elder Taylor and I to make a trio so that should be a blast. This morning on our way to the temple at 6:30, Elder Taylor forgot his recommend but he thought he wouldn't need it so we went in and the front desk person said he would have to go back and get it so we sprinted the mile there and back trying to make it to the session with the rest of our district. Of course we arrived literal seconds after they left the chapel and then had to wait for the next session but it's probably for the best because I was huffing hard with sweat pouring down my face. All in all having a great time here with these guys and learning the language pretty well I think. If the weeks keep going this fast I'll be to Peru in no time.
