Sister Courtney Gray: Semana 3!!! Dominican Republic MTC

Okay soooo many things happened this week!!!

SO the other day we were told that the prophet of our church (President Nelson) woke up and had a prompting to come to the Caribbean islands, so of course he made arrangements and he is coming to the DOMINICAN REPUBLIC on Friday!!! so he is meeting with the missionaries on saturday morning!!! im super super excited!!!! andddd I'LL BE SHAKING HIS HANDDDDDD!!!!! AHAHAHAHAHHAH IM GONNA DIE!!!

SO I only have 3 more weeks here in the ccm and its crazy cause all the older hermana and elders left today and were getting 50 newbies tommorow! so im now considered "an old hermana" even though i look like im 12.... ahhyahahha it should be fun!

The other day for our spanish class we were told to go outside to talk to the Dominicans so we went out of our ccm and went to chat with people (IN SPANISH AHHHH) and everyone is talking to older people and trying to have conversations... and you wanna know what I was doing?? I was hanging out with the little niños!! hahahah there were like 9 little girls all surrounding me and talking to me!!! theyre so CUTE! one of them kept tapping me on the shoulder and I was like "Que?" and she grabs my face and pulls it close to hers and says... "tu ojos es AZULLLL" and all the little kids were like "AZULLLL?!" and they just kept telling me how "muy bonita" my eyes are it was the cutest thing!!! so yeah I didnt end up talking to any grown ups... just little dominican kiddos... but i mean thats not really a surprise hahah.. Im always with the children hahah!

But then the next day we went to the universidad to go teach.... and holy cow it was so nerveracking!!!! but the people are so understanding and patient with mine and my companions bad spanish!! but It gave us a good idea of what we learned and how much more we need to learn!!! it was a great expirence!

Oh and!!! we basically have our own tower of terror here at the CCM (where I live), whenever you take the elevator to our floor (the 4th floor) it is the highest floor and for some reason every. single. time. It goes too fast or something and smashes the ceiling! so youll just be riding it and its all quiet then you get to your floor and theres a huge crashing sound hahahah its really scary. Some elders got stuck on it for like 20 minutes the other day. so yeah we ummmm... we take the stairs hahahh!

Funny storiesssss: SO hahahhah we like to scare each other here at the CCN and Im the master!! I have scared my comps so may times and my roommates its realy funny.. so my companion decided she was going to get me back... haha I cant even tell this without laughing so hard! So last night when my companion turned out the lights she decided that she was going to scare me and since Im on the bottom bunk im really easy to reach so she shuts out the lights and comes near my bed, and she can't see anything and she GRABS me out of no where!! so of course I screamed super loud (into my pillow cause I didnt want to wake anyone up in the other apartments) and she just starts laughing sooo soooo soooo hard and we all do and she runs into the bathroom and me and my other companion are like why the heck did she run in there? Is she scared Im gonna get her back or something??? So we hear her from the bathroom.... "YOU GUYS I PEED MY PANTS" HAHAHAHA WE DIED!! she was laughing so hard because she finally scared me that she Literally couldnt controll herself!! ahahhah she decided that she's Never going to scare, me again hahahah~!!!

I love love love being a missionary!!! okay I gotta go! love you all!!
