Sorella Nelson's Mission to Milan Italy!

Ciao!  This week was amazing!! We get our travel papers tonight after dinner!! I got to welcome Courtney... eeerrrr Sister York to the MTC!! I got to see the eclipse!! and all other sorts of exciting stuff!! This Monday was the eclipse.  We basically spent a whole class period outside and talked to our teacher in Italian while waiting for the eclipse.  It was weird.  It got super dark, and cold.  Luckily there were some missionaries who had the cool glasses thingies and they were super nice and let my whole district use them.   Two of the districts in our zone were selected to be the missionary hosts on Wednesday.  I was so stoked!  Fortunately I was stationed outside of the New building where Courtney has class, so we got to talk for a bit! It was probably my favorite part of this week.  It was super weird though because I was authorized to be without my companion for that time period.  I have been with ...

Benvenuti tutti! I shook Anziano Neal L. Anderson's hand on Tuesday! He was the devo speaker, and after devo he came around and shook random missionaries hands! (yeah dad, I said random) I was one of the lucky ones!  This last week I performed in two worldwide missionary broadcasts (in the MTC choir) I was also on the screen when he was shaking my hand. I think the broadcasts were just for the MTC's around the world though. The first was Elder Ballard (his grandson is in my zone) and the second was elder Anderson. I was in the choir for both of them. Choir is one of my favorite parts of the MTC. I love singing, and the choir director is hilarious! Sundays are one of the hardest days at the MTC.  It is all study, and meetings.  Choir is a nice break from sitting still.  I mean, you're still sitting pretty still.... but at least you're basically screaming at the top of your lungs at the same time.   I have never officially introduced y'all t...

Ciao!! I had my first ultrasound at the MTC! I never thought that I would say those words, lol.  So basically what happened is this.... My district got assigned to be the testifiers and the starters for the tour.  Everybody was terrified to be a starter except for me, so I volunteered to do it (dragging Sorella Pacheco with me).  It was fine though because only one of us had to talk, and I like to talk a lot, so I talked the whole time and loved it!! Basically the starters welcome people to the MTC, tell them who you are, where you're going, and some things about how the tour works and send them on their way.  Super easy, super fun! Well about halfway through this exciting adventure (for me, for Sorella Pacheco it was too much standing for her liking lol).  My leg started to do this really weird thing where it like had this dull pain that I could ignore, but then it got worse the longer I stood and then I got really dizzy and fel...
