We got our travel plans!

This week over all has been a really good week, but it doesn't feel like I've done a lot. On Tuesday we sang in choir "Like 10,000 Legions Marching" it's in the Hymn book but it's not sung very often. The MTC has its own arrangement and it was probably the best song that we've sung so far. We also found out that Tuesday we'll have Elder L. Tom Perry come talk at the MTC, I think it'll be a really good talk.

Wednesday we hosted the new missionaries coming in. It was a lot of fun, I got to meet a lot of new people and watch a lot of moms cry. It's probably a good thing my parents didn't drop me off, I can't imagine how my Mum would have been. Before I left my Mum was writing my name on everything I owned. I found my name in my tie this week, literally inside of it, it was on the backside and was a little smudged so it took me a little to work it out. I'll be honest, it freaked me out a bit. So, it was probably good she had to stay in Germany, though I do love her tons and it was nice to have a bit of her.

Yesterday we got our travel plans! They are such a boost to moral. Most of us are getting a little tired of the MTC. But we leave the 18th of November at 4:30 a.m. and land the 19th of November at 4:55 p.m., the perfect time to be able to go get a good Japanese dinner. So this is our last full week and then we get to head out! Today we had a really good TRC. TRC is time that we get to teach church members in Japanese. Both Elder Quilter and I really excelled at the language and then the church member we were teaching was the sweetest lady ever. She was originally from Tokyo but now lives in Salt Lake. We only were able to talk but by the time we were done we were best friends and was kinda hard to leave.

Well that’s all that really went on this week. We’re planning to really work hard this last week and prepare ourselves as best we can for Japan.

One of the senseis described that he would imagine a troll prodding him to do it. Also include is the vegetable versions of our district our senseis included. I'm the leek and my companion is the corn
