Megans Mission Minutes      November 27, 2012    Next stop, Costa Rica!!

She wrote this list the week of Thanksgiving. She will be flying to Costa Rica on Monday with her district. (There are six of them total. Her letter is coming via “snail – mail”. But we got a snip-it of an email and lots of photos)

What I’m grateful for in the MTC:

An unlimited supply of chocolate milk

Room checks – keeps us clean allowing the spirit to dwell

Letters from home and care packages

Laundry room so close and so FREE! (Funny story: Today we went to go pick our clothes up out of the drier. One of my comps couldn’t find her clothes, someone’s clothes were in her machine. She started to worry; we wrote a note, we turned and asked an Elder nearby, “are these yours?” “Yes…” Long story short, he had combined his clothes with hers. It was pretty funny to watch the poor lad trying to separate their unmentionables.

Smiles

Whistling and singing in the shower with complete strangers.

Bedtime. I’ve never been so grateful for it before.

Volleyball. I really love playing volleyball with my district. They are so much fun!!

My Book of Mormon. Goodness it’s delicious. I’m totally devouring it and I’m grateful for any Seminary, Institute, Sunday School class, personal study etc. and all of the personal revelation I’ve received. Such a blessing in my life.   I am currently spending roughly 11 hours a day in a classroom learning Spanish. If I can make it through this, I can make it through anything. Also, the spirit here is super strong! In the words of Nacho Libre, “It’s the best!!” 

The Holy Ghost. What a powerful gift! I’m so grateful for it.

Friends!! I’ve made so many in here.

Laughter, my medicine… the cure for anything and everything!

The Priesthood. Need I say more?

My photo album. I love photos of my family. I underestimated their importance and I went to laminate the photos of my bros on their shirtless, four-wheeling, night-ride. I’m so… soo grateful for my brothers!

Companionship prayers (En Espanol)

Hymns!! I found one that is only is the Spanish Hymn Book! It’s so cool and all about missionary work. (I just bought a laminated children’s song book and I have been singing primary songs all day! I love primary! Somebody told me that in Costa Rica, I will love all the kiddos there and they’ll love to sing with me!! Yay!)

Sunshine

Devotionals

The couches in the TRC and the Temple because they are the only 2 places I get to sit on a couch.

Everyone’s prayers, love and support on my behalf.

Thank YOU!!

Thanksgiving Day; A piece of temple square. The BEST hand slap game ever to pass the time. Service project. Pumpkin Pie (it was nasty. I missed grandmas!) Watched 17 Miracles! Decorated a tree. Charity. (It was a great break from the norm.) JEFFREY R HOLLAND!!! But more to come about thanksgiving later. Expect a beautiful letter or two in the mail. I'm so sorry I really don't have time.

See you later! :( The next time I write to you will be in another country! (At least email you.)

Love to All!!
