I'm getting married... 3rd
Hello everyone! It's that time of the week already!!!!
Can't believe that its been a week (no really where has time gone?😮 ). This has been a week of threes let me tell you!! Uno, dos, tres McFarland!!
1. So in a side tangent during class time our teacher gave her best guess of when each of us are going to be married and I took 3rd out of 7 so not bad 😆 anyways.. I'll let you guys find the easter egg but one of the pictures this week has the list in it...🔍🥚👀
2. I'm in a trio now!! Essentially my bunkmate is still my comp however now my other roomate is also my companion!! 3x the work but 3x the fun is that what they say?
3. Uhh we took 3rd again in the MTC Kahoot night on Sunday need I say more haha. 3 heads IS better than 1 alright. 🤙
Ok now for the serious stuff though. You guys I finally was able to wrangle the sisters together to play soccor!! Highlight of my week I had so much fun hehe. A lot of them didn't know how to play and we had mini goals and were sharing the field with the rugby players so it was a blast. ⚽️
I also "lucked" out again and didn't have to share the talk I wrote this week but I'll still include it in the photo albumn dw. As for a quote I really liked this week regarding recognizing the spirit.. take it away Joseph Smith: "pure inteligence" or "sudden ideas". I'm not sure why this really resonated with me this week but it did and I hope it does for y'all as well! \(^^)/🤠
Also I'm like oddly having withdrawls from not having oatmeal this long (iykyk) haha but no really the breakfasts here aren't the greatest however lunch and dinner usually hits the spot. It makes me feel at home knowing they still eat pink lady apples here haha.
Another thing in class this week I was almost coined the "final boss" because when we were playing around the world which is like duck duck goose kind of I was almost unstopabble. So study your PMG's you guys it pays off. To better understand my district watch the "sunbeam" performance found in the gphoto albumn for a lil ray of sunshine in your life. Jesus wants US for a sunBEAM!! 🤣☀️ Also check out the other video of the trio teaching the plan of salvation (role playing) but it was like our first time so it's not smooth but this is a sneak peak as to what we've been up too! It's cringe but they make us record ourselves teaching and then play it back haha. The last part is our secret handshake
🤫 We also learned more about adjusting to missionary life which involved laying on the ground to meditate and it was quite nice hehe.
This week I've been super grateful for the nice weather here. It has been "winter" coming into spring and as someone who gets cold wayyyy too easily I've appreciated seeing the sun a little more and not needing a jacket everytime I go outside. 😊
We also got to go to the temple this week which is practically in our back yard.. we did baptisms, confirmations (recieving the gift of the holy ghost), and initiatories and I went with my district so you'll see pictures of that as well. It was so nice to not only get to leave the MTC but also take some family names through family search. Speaking of which we did a cool workshop this week which involved "finding relatives around me" and I encourage everyone who hasn't used family tree before to use that feature because it's really neat to see how we're related I had some 7th cousins and 5th cousin once removed here haha.
TMI: I really have missed running so that's honestly one of the things I look forward to most once I'm out in the field that and oatmeal but only have like a week and a half left. Hang in there you guys!!!
YHWH or Yaweh this week I learned as I studied the bible is the hebrew word for God and I just find that really cool in other words this is your sign to by an ESV today lol. Another thing I love is reading it with the infinite atonement so add that to your readinglists everyone!! Lastly but most importantly just wanted to close with reminding everyeone that God IS MINDFUL OF YOUR EXISTANCE. Don't forget it :)
Love y'all!! ❤️
xoxo Sister Talbot
