Well here we are everyone! It is my last P-day before I head off to the
beautiful land of Sverige! 5 days before my brain explodes due to
culture shock;) I am so ridiculously excited and nervous and pumped!! I
have been waiting for this day since January and now it is finally here!
Ahh!! My two elders and I leave the MTC at 4:30 AM Monday morning.
That's right, folks. What's sleep? We'll get to Sweden the next day
around 9:00 AM Sweden time. It will be a long day...haha. But Europe!
Woohoo!!!!
Anyway:) So this week has been sooooo awesome! Last
Thursday, we were able to do TRC again, but this time over Skype. I fell
in love with real life Swedes even more! Everyone I talked to was so
nice and had so much patience with my Swedish and told me they would
come find me when I get to the country:) Being a missionary is so fun!
We
didn't have any apostles come this week, but we had the Director of
Internet Proselyting from the Missionary Department come and talk to us
at Sunday night devotional. That was awesome. I am going to petition
that Sweden has Facebook missionaries next because the success rates are
crazy! Plus it sounds fun. And I may or may not be having withdrawals
from social media. Hehe #addictionprobs

Yesterday, one of my
teachers, Brother Dunn, had his last day teaching here at the MTC. It
was very nearly the saddest, most pump up day of my life. I love Brother
Dunn sooo much and I am so sad to see him go! He's the best. We spent
our last class going through his pictures from the mission and listening
to all of his stories. Sorry 'bout it everyone, but Sweden is the best
mission ever. No competition. It is the prettiest, most awesome,
diverse, COOLEST place in the world :) Our teachers pretend to be
investigators they really had on their missions when we teach them, and
Brother Dunn told us all about the investigators we "had" here at the
MTC. I can't wait to meet these people in real life! Ah! I am positive I
am going to be one of those annoying RMs who can't stop talking about
their mission and showing people pictures because I love hearing stories
from everyone else! It's cool. My parents will listen to me if nothing
else;)
I have looooooved seeing all my friends come to the MTC
this last week, and I'm really sad that today is the last time I'll
ever be able to say, "Welcome to the MTC!" to anyone with a dork dot on
their name tag. Haha. Everyone coming to the Provo MTC is so lucky! It's
just like a mini Lone Peak/BYU :):) I love it here so much!
And
last but not least, my final s/o's :) Biggest s/o to my sister who
turns 17 in 2 days!! Happy birthday Shae!!!! Everyone tell her happy
birthday for me:) And also s/o to my bestie Paige Eastwood who is now
Hermana Eastwood...that is too weird. Haha I LOVE IT. Good luck in
Mexico and Tennessee girlfrannn love you!
I LOVE YOU ALL!!! I
have another email time on Saturday morning so I will talk to you all
then. Cherish your time in America for me;) Hej då!!
Love love love love,
Syster Modersitzki :)
