11 Days Left in The MTC 5.23.18

This next week will be my last week in the MTC until I go to Germany!! I'm getting super excited, but I wish that I could stay a few weeks longer. I'll give you a quick rundown of my week. 
On Wednesday, I got to see Reagan outside the temple! It was super good to see someone from back home! 
On Thursday, I uh well, I don't think I can talk too much about it, but come June 1st you'll see what I'm talking about if you watch the Priesthood celebration broadcast! 
On Friday, my whole district was in a really good mood and we were laughing and calling everyone Eichhrönchen's. It means squirrel. It sounds super dumb, but it's a lot of fun to say! haha You just have to go up to someone and say "Sie sind Eichhörnchen!" (you are a squirrel) you say it kinda like this "I-ch-horn-yen". (you're out of luck, I cant sound things out well). 
Saturday was super boring. 
Sunday, our MTC President spoke on "Missionary Work". Can you imagine that? But it was super good, and the takeaway from what he said, was that even if we help convert one person on our mission, we will affect generations, upon generations to follow. This is very applicable to you guys back home even! Always remember that you are examples to those around you, and it impacts them! 
Monday was really cool, but really frustrating. I prayed for a humbling experience the night before and oh man did my Heavenly Father bestow my wishes upon me.. I got into class and was going to teach my first investigator (Siegfried, my teacher that pretends to be an investigator for practice) and Ich kann nicht Deutsch sprechen.. It was so bad, but apparently it was one of our best lessons according to my teacher and my companion. We basically committed him to be baptized and my companion said that that was one of the strongest times that he has ever felt the spirit. I learned a lot that day, and it was a definite testimony builder.
Tuesday we had an Apostle come and speak to the MTC! Elder Rasband came and spoke to us about President Nelson's talk on receiving personal revelation. He challenged all of us to read over President Nelson's talk "Revelation for the Church, Revelation for our Lives" and I will extend the challenge to yall. I know that if we will head to the prophets words, we will be blessed.
Today, im going to be hosting the new missionarys! Im super excited for it, and I cant wait to see the scared looks on their faces! I hope I dont get any criers! hahaha

I love yall! I hope you all have fantastic weeks!

Oh and here are some pictures:
1. Me and my friggen amazing cousin
