Hello Everyone!
So I now have 2 days left
here in the MTC! I can’t even believe this day has come!!!
Well to start off I had
probably the best week of all time here in the MTC!!!!!! Were to even begin!!
Tuesday was a good day!
But I don’t really remember what happened. So we'll just skip to Wednesday!!!!!!!!!!
The best day EVER! To start off the day we went to our last service day!! You know
how much I love service!! The guy who runs the service is Joel. At first we
thought Joel hated us and we didn’t feel that great about him either but we
started being crazy nice to him and figured out his kind of humor and taught
him some Polish. Before we knew it we were all the best of friends!! He was still
sarcastic and grouchy most of the time but I started joking and being sarcastic
back and it was hilarious!! He is why we all loved service so much!! So Joel
started calling me Hermana Canuck. He served in Spain aka (Hermana means sister).
I asked him if we could call him crazy Uncle Joel! He didn’t yes or no but I did
anyways and you could just tell he loved all of us so much!! So we went to our
very last service with him and we brought our polish hymnbooks to sing for him
and we get there and HE WASNT THERE!!!! So service wasn’t quite as happy but another
guy made a video of us singing and saying goodbye!!
Brat Tribe, one of our
teachers, took us outside to play a street contacting game!!! Contacting is going
to be hard but it was great practice and so nice outside.It was just amazing to
do with my district! I just love all of them so much!!
My district (and the
Bulgarians) got to be HOSTS!!!!! A host is the missionary who picks you up from
the curb when you are dropped off at the MTC and takes you to your room, to get
your books and takes you to your classroom and pretty much introduces you into
the MTC. We finally got to be hosts on our very last Wednesday!!! So we all
lined up on the curb just waiting for the new baby missionaries to come!! And
then my very first sister came!!!! She was from Utah and so cute!!! I helped
her with her bags and she said goodbye to her family and we were off!! It was
so fun because I wanted to make her feel completely comfortable and just convey
to her how amazing the MTC really is and how much happiness and fun you can
have here!!
I think I did a pretty
decent job since it’s my favorite thing in the world to be happy!! I loved
being a host so much!!! We did it for the entire afternoon!! It takes so long
so I only got to host 3 sisters but I loved all of them!!
To top it all off we ended
the night with some tall time and some NIGHT GYM! Which is by far the best and
I played my very last game of 4 square! It was only people from my zone!! What
a tender mercy!! It was sooo fun!!
Then it was Thursday!!! To
start off the day they OPENED THE FIELD!!!!!!!!!!! ANOTHER TENDER MERCY FROM
THE LORD!!! So for morning gym we went outside and got to play bocce ball and
soccer!!! We had to play a sisters game but it was so much fun!! Just to be
outside!! The day was already great!!!
And then the most amazing
thing every happened. We were having personal study in our classroom and then
who walks in. JOEL!!!!!!!!!!!!! HE FOUND US TO COME SAY GOODBYE!!! He was in
California for some race but he came to our classroom and bore his testimony
and told us all that he never really gets to know the missionaries at all cause
they’re not here for very long and none of them get his humor. He told us that
he really enjoyed getting to know us and he was so proud of all of us. He knew
we were going to do great things in Poland. Then he told us that he loved all
of us and he was really going to miss us!!!! It’s probably hard to understand
but if you knew how cold his heart seemed when we first got here it would seem
like a big deal!! I was so thrilled that he came just to say goodbye to us
all!!! Yet again another tender mercy!!!
We taught our investigator
Lidia for the last time!! She is getting baptized in a week!! We won’t be here
ha-ha well it was all practice but it was so much fun! I loved teaching her so much!!!
Then we had our last TRC ever as well!! It went good. We also had our very last
class with Brat Tribe!!!! :( :( :( So we just had story time!!! He told us a
bunch of stories about his mission in Poland and pumped us all up
completely!!!!!!!!!! Like this one story where they were thinking of fun ways
to contact people so they pulled out a ping pong table from the institute
building and put up a sign that said, “free game if you win you get a prize”! People
would stop and play a game of intense ping-pong with Elder Tribe and he said it
was so fun! And they had a table set up with pamphlets and stuff and the prize
was a Book of Mormon!!! How fun is that!!! And then... we had to say good-bye
to him, it was so hard!!! He is seriously such an amazing person and such a wonderful
teacher!! He was a great help to me words can’t even describe it!! We will all
miss him so much!!!
Yesterday was our INFIELD
ORIENTATION!!!! Which was actually very helpful and fun! It was ALLLLL DAYYY My
companion, 2 elders going to England (polish speaking) and the triplets going
to Bulgaria were in my group. We are excellent friends so it was extra fun
because we got to be together for the whole day!!! I learned a ton as well!! We
were practicing contacting and stuff, it was so much easier because we were
doing it in English!!! Thank goodness!! It was like our mini graduation!!!
I got the snacks from
you!!!! Thank you sooo much!!! Everyone loved it so much and I was actually
very upset because I've been trying to eat good since all we do is sit all day
long but I was like heck ya I’m going to have a KRISPY KREME!!!! They’re my
favorite!!! And so one of the elders just got pictures from his family and he
was showing me all of them especially the ones of his niece and nephews! And I turned
around to got a donut and.... my district slash also some Bulgarians ATE ALL OF
THEM! I almost died inside I was so sad!! But I will be blessed for sharing :)
so thank you for sending them!
And that was my last week
in the mtc :) It has truly been one of the best experiences of my life!!! I
have learned and grown so much here and met some of the most amazing people on
the planet!! I cannot wait to take the things I have learned here and apply
them in Poland!!! I know I am going exactly where the Lord wants me to go and I
cannot wait for the adventure that is coming before me!!!!!!!!
If I could give any advice
to anyone going to serve a mission it would be to love every minute! Attitude
is everything and I know without a doubt, that is why I have loved it here at
the MTC so much! If you’re looking for the good and the fun and the happiness
you will find it :)
AAHHHHHHHHH THERE IS A
BIRD IN THE BUILDING!!! I THINK IM GOING TO FAINT OR THROW UP OR SOMETHING BAD
IS GOING TO HAPPEN!! I HATE BIRDS!!! EWWWWWWW
Ok sorry thank you for
everything you have done for me while I’ve been here and all the support!!!
This Church is true!!
Love Sister Hailey Pearson
