Hello friends!!
It has been the most INSANE week but I
have never felt closer to Jesus Christ and the spirit! Utah has been rainy and
cold this past week and there is even snow on the mountains. I has been
so great here though! I love my teachers and my district!
When we first arrived, we had class
and we got to know our district. Our district is different than most, because
almost everyone is going somewhere different! My companion, Sister Kenney is
headed to Little Rock, Arkansas. Then we got to meet with the MTC presidency
which was so awesome. After we had a workshop that was so powerful and amazing
that focused on how we should be sharing the gospel. Thursday was so cool! We
got to meet with the Branch Presidency and Sister Kenney and I got called to be
STL's (sister training leaders)!

By Friday, we got the hang of
everything. We even got to teach a girl named Jessica which was so exciting and
fun! Saturday we got our first TRC! TRC means training resource center so they
are hired actors to be investigators for us to teach. We met with Ines and
planned to meet with her Monday. Sunday was so busy with lots of meetings and
lessons. Sacrament was with our zone and that was so powerful and amazing. We
also had a devotional that was awesome!
Monday we got to meet with Ines and
taught her about prayer and faith. She was so interested and wants to grow her
faith in God and Christ! Then on Tuesday we met with Jae and he was not as open
to our message but it was a great learning experience for us! Then we had
another devotional which was from Elder Hamilton and his wife about being
"All in" and I can definitively say that I am all in. Sister Hamilton
also talked about channeling our fears into excitement and it was so
powerful!
Then yesterday our district got to
host the new missionaries! It was a ton of fun and later that night Sister
Kenney and I got to welcome them. We also got to meet with Ines again
which was amazing! She has been praying to God and really is seeking that
relationship with Heavenly Father and we cannot wait to teach her again this
Friday! Then today we got to go to the temple which was so amazing! I love this
gospel!!
Highlights throughout the week :
·
One of the sisters in our zone prayed
to Buddha in her TRC
·
Elder Buttcane used the analogy that
MTC is an aquarium and we are all swimming in the spirit because it is all
around us
·
Sister Sink and I CONSTANTLY quote
Nacho Libre and it is a good time
·
Sister Sypher and I got caught doing
backbends in the bathroom
Literally everything is hilarious though I love it here and I love my
district!!!
Love you all
