What better way to start out the day than an email from me? On the
wrong day.... So on Sunday our schedule was completely changed because
of semester for BYU. So my Pday is now Wed. Sorry mom. So mom and dad,
if you would send my eamil through Dearelder this week i would really
appreciate it. otherwise i won't get it til next week.
Anyway my weeks have been a little crazy here. A
completely new schedule that has been kinda nice cause I get to sleep
til 6:30 everyday but Wed. and i don't even care cause Wed i get to go
to the temple, so it is all made up for. Plus both of our teachers were
supposed to be changing, but only one actually did. She was my favorite,
but i guess it's ok, i obviously need to learn something from it. I
love classes, even though somedays it is hard to have class that many
hours a day when you have to think twice as hard cause your teachers
talk in Spanish. But i love it, i have learned so much since i have been
here. I can finally talk to people and sound like i didn't learn my
spanish from a 3 year old.
It is finally warming up in Utah. (thank goodness) and
we get to go out and use the field for gym time. Our group usually goes
and plays kickball which is fun. Except i got really bored after like 2
innings cause everyone stopped kicking it tome in the outfield
(aparently they were mad i could catch). But i love being outside, it is
amazing what 50 mins of outside time can do to help me let out energy
and refocus for class.
Sunday was definately my favorite day this week. We got
to listen to music and the spoken word, Relief scoiety was good, and
for our fireside we got to hear from the managing director of the
missionary department. He brought a fun message at the MTC is was nice
to be able to sit back and relax a little bit. Just to give you guys an
image of how many sister misionaries there are at the MTC, we have hit
about 50% of the mission force. We had over 1200 sisters at relief
society.
Spanish and teaching is coming along really great. I
love it. I love getting to know people. It is crazy the connections you
can make with people all over.
One last thing. I
just want to share a little bit about what i know has help me here. I
can sum it up in 1 word. Prayer. I seriously would not be able to do
this without having my Father in Heaven to talk to. Even though he
already knows everything, he wants us to tell him, he wants us to trust
him enough to pay attention to what he is trying to tell us though
feeling the Spirit. He is our Father and that is all he wants from us,
for us to talk to him as we would talk to our fathers. I know that is
true, i know God hears my prayers. I think you should all go watch the
mormon message (it is like the only form of media entertainment here in
the MTC) Earthly Father Heavenly Father, it is so good. I love the quote
at the end of the video. I could seriously watch it over and over. tp
get to it. go to lds.org and type mormon messages in the search bar. click on the link and it should be one of the ones to pop up.
People i saw this week: Elder Garrett Turley, Sister Morgan Heywood
I
love you all, thanks for the love and the support. I know that The
Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is true. Sorry the emai this
week is short.
