TIRED!!!!!   Too many days of getting up before 6 a.m.!  Looking forward to sleeping in my own bed tomorrow night and sleeping in till 8!  Can’t sleep too long, since we have to pack up everything we want to take, and clean the house to close it up. 
I think I have gained weight here…..too much and too good of food!
I was too tired to exercise tonight.  Did some emails in the lobby, since we can’t have internet in the room without paying for it!  Crazy!  Started packing up since we check out of the Marriott tomorrow morning as we head to the MTC.  As soon as classes are finished at 3:15, we hit the road and head home to Arimo.
It has been a good week.  Today, we had a large group meeting for 10 minutes to begin our day, then went to the classrooms.  There we got our assignment for our missionary work with the “investigators” we were to meet with today.  Today’s assignment was that we were doing a follow-up meeting with an older couple. The elders had been transferred and didn’t give us any information.  It was a good meeting.  The time went quickly.  We felt that if it had been real, we wouldn’t have ended at the 45 minute time, but finished answering their questions.
Then we had class time, lunch, large group meeting, class time.  This time we learned what tomorrow entails.  We are to be paired up with a couple from another district.  1 couple will be the missionaries, one the investigators, then reverse roles.  For 15 minutes, we are to get to know them.  Then reverse roles for 15 min.  Then we have 1 hour to work on a lesson to meet the needs of the couple with the information we learned from the getting to know you time.  We are to role play, and pretend to be someone else.  This is to help us understand how they may be thinking, and how best to approach them. After the hour of preparation, we have 30 minutes to be the missionary to that couple and present a lesson we think meets their needs.  Then another 30 minutes of being the inactive couple and the missionaries present a lesson they think meets our needs. 
So, for tonight we don’t have preparation.  Going to bed soon.
