Hola!!!! Holy cow....i have to start out by saying....i only have 12 DAYS left in the MTC! This is my 5th week! whaaat! That is just so crazy to me! I love it here. Although we do the same exact thing everyday...i really do love it so so much. The people are amazing and i am going to be so so sad to leave them. There will be tears for sure. Well this week has been greatttt. I was called up to give a talkon sunday! And that went pretty well. I attempted some spanish haha but my spanish is noooo bueno. so hopefully it made a little bit of sense and helped at least one person. Sundays are just awesome. It was also me and my companions turn to be interviewed by the Branch president. And i was so thankful for that...He is the nicest cutest man ever. It was just so nice to talk to him. And share with him my experiences so far. His family is phenomenal... his dad is the 1st counselor in the mtc presidency and he gave an awesome lesson on sunday about specific prays. Mexicans are just the cutest nicest people ever. We also had an unreal devotional by Hermano Cates who is the director of the whole CCM. It was such a good talk about not looking back and longing. We need to foucs our minds 100 percent on the Lords work. Faith is always pointed towards the future. Mans extremity is Gods opportunity. soo good. i can tell you that i know for sure that We truly do need the Lords help for this work. there is no way we could do it alone. no wayyy. After the sunday night movie we go back to our classes and discuss the movies that we watched...as a district. We had another awesome and spiritual meeting as a district. And Elder Workman was talking about how all the Elders need to practice their priesthood so he was saying how he wanted to give all of us a blessing the night before we leave the MTC. But then they just asked if anyone wanted one right then. So i said sure. Although i didnt realize it at the time.... it was muchhh needed. i heard everything i needed to hear. I am so grateful for the Elders and their willingness and worthiness to be able to practice their priesthood. Everyone was crying haha so after me everyone ended up getting a blessing and it was just an awesome night. I cant say it enough...i love my district. And i have had the opportunity to play FUTSAL 2 times this weeek! and now everyone plays everyday!!! It was so awesome to be able to do that!!! haha i miss soccer so much. The futsal crew calls me Hermana fifa & hermana Ronaldo. i cant play everyday tho cuz my companion hates sports. So we decided to do an every other day thing. so hopefully thatll work out. and i get to play outdoor today!!!! yipee. Its good to be able to play since we are sitting all day everyday. and its soo hard for me to focus if i dont have my exercise - sports time. So on Thursday we also had an awesome TRC (Training Resource Center) which is where we go and we either become the investigator or we teach a volunteer who is already a member. Ill be honest and say that we always dread TRC so much. We always say whattt on earth are we suppose to teach someone that is already an active member (in spanish i might add) ha. We have always been the teachers. So this week we didnt have enough volunteers. So we had to teach one of the teachers. Hermana Young. ill be honest... when she walked in...i was like your kidding. why do we get stuck with the teacher? well that was stupid of me to think. ha. thats never a good thing to think. Well that lesson turned out to be one of the best lessons so far. we talked about prayer with her and the spirit was so strong. i almost cried. And i love hermana young so much. she is the cutest - nicest woman. sorry this email is all over the place haha. funny story. so me and one of my roomates .. do the spin bikes during exercise time when we have time. we have to stand up the whole time and have it on a high resistence. and we just goof around on them to try and make it fun so we do this thing where we are like turn left, go right, uphill, downhill, one foot, two feet. its the stupidest thing and we look so funny doing it but it makes it makes it so much harder & funner. haha. and funny part of this is.... the other day im in line at lunch and this girl comes up to me and says... so me and my roomates were talking and we think that you have some awesome exercises and we were wondering if you could teach us. hahaha. so now we have a little class. its hilarious. but it really works. if only we had more time to exercise tho. well i love you all sooo so much. i hope you are all diligently studying your scriptures and attending church. and praying often. peace. love. and blessings.
love, Hermana Josse
