Hey Everyone!
First things first.
Today is April 2nd and that means it is my brother's birthday. So I want
to start by saying Happy Birthday to him and that I love him so much.
Well
today is my last P-day in the MTC. by this time next week I will doing
missionary work in the D.C. area. This is honestly so exciting because
I've really wanted to get to the field and start working already. I
really have enjoyed my time here but I am really ready to leave. I've learned
so much Spanish here I can have full conversation with the workers and actually
understand everything they say and they understand me. I think I am most
excited about being able to speak to people in Spanish because 6 weeks ago that
would not have been possible. I've learned more Spanish in these 6 weeks
in the MTC than I ever did in my 2 years of High School Spanish. I can
say to you that the Gift of Tongues is REAL!
This past week though
has been kind of rough for me however. Another district in my Zone had
left this past week on Monday. It was so hard to see them leave
because I had been with them for the past 5 weeks. I had gotten really
close to all the Elders in that district and the night that they left many
manly tears were shed, Haha. It was rough to see them go and it was even
harder the next couple of days. Everywhere I went reminded me of
them. The comedor where we all ate together, the classroom where we
studied with them, and volleyball because we always played with them. The
good thing is I got all of their E-mails so add them to the list of people I
need to contact on P-day. The one I'll miss the most was Elder
Dansie. He was practically my best friend while in the MTC. Me and
him even made plans to try and visit each other after our missions. This
reminds me of how my dad is with one of his companions. I hope we are the
same way.  |

So, remember how I you
about how my neighbors pranked us by moving our furniture all around.
Well, I came up with an amazing prank to get them back and it went off
beautifully. The night that 13-C came by to same goodbye is when we
pulled it off and they even got to help. They came at about 4 in the
morning to wake us up and say goodbye. Then we started the prank.
My idea was to place a ton of cups of water in front of their door so they
couldn't get out. It was awesome and hilarious. It took about 200
cups so the entire week before me and all my roommates would take about 5 cups
per meal from the Comedor. It was slow but sooo worth it. 13-C
helped set them all up then they took off. I've got some pictures of how it
looked. The Elders across the hall were good sports about it. They told
me about what happened when they saw it. Apparently one of them woke up
and went to walk into the hallway when he saw it. He goes "What the
Heck?!" So he clears about 40 of the cups out of the way so he can
jump it. he then goes to start moving the cups in front of my door. We
open the door and there are two of them moving the cups over. They freeze right
in the middle of moving them with the guiltiest look on their face ever.
It was the funniest thing ever. Of course we helped them clean it all
up. We wanted to measure out the water so we grabbed one of the empty 20
liter bottles we use for drinking water and it filled the entire thing!
They gave us our props so now we are waiting for them to get us back.

Anyways, that’s about
it for this week. I'm not really looking forward to the last few days
because it is going to be a lot of testing and meetings. The plus is that
I have the chance to listen to General Conference this Saturday and Sunday.
I'm super excited to listen to the Prophet and the Apostles speak as well as
listen to how many missionaries are serving right now, because I'm one of them!
Well everyone, that's
it for this week. Next time I write you all I will be in the Washington D.C.
area! I love you all and don't forget to write me. It's what I look
forward to every week.
Love,
Elder Biehn
