HELLO FAMILY!!
Well I'm really surprised because I'm actually a really sad to leave the MTC! I just really love the people I'm around, but the field will be even better!! I am SO excited to get to Michigan.
On Monday my comp Sister Pettet and I danced in the rain and that was a joyous time. It was fun!
On Tuesday we had a devotional by Rosemary Wixom it was so great and at the end we all sung armies of Helaman, that was so cool to hear a room of a thousand missionaries singing that song! After the devotional we went back to the residency and got ice cream out of the vending machines. We were laughing so hard about something, I don't remember what but we got in bed and Just couldn't stop laughing for about an hour in bed.
Wednesday...Thanks for the cookies mom!! We had too many so we took them to the brand new missionaries next door to welcome them! It was so fun to see the new missionaries, it's crazy I've only been here a week. Also at the end of the day, we had the Elders in the district give us blessings and that was such a cool experience because my blessing was just what I needed to hear.
So today we had a really cool lesson with our investigator, I felt like for the first time, I was guided by the spirit when teaching! It was so cool! Also we had a Book of Mormon read with my district and that was amazing. The spirit is so strong when you just sit and read out loud. Also they had THE BEST cheesecake this week, it was like smores or something...
The first part of Friday was a little rough. We had our in-field orientation and I just felt over whelmed, but class after was amazing and we watched a clip from the district about a family getting sealed and I felt the spirit so strong! That is why I am going on a mission, to bring that joy into peoples lives.
Saturday was our last lesson with our investigator and that was sad! I really liked her a lot, also it was our last lesson with our teacher so we took some pictures at the end of class, I love my district. Also we had a party with pink mustaches with all the sisters in our residency which was so fun!
Sunday... I love Sundays! So I had to teach in relief society today which went a lot better than I thought it would! I felt the spirit in the lesson so I was proud of myself. Then in sacrament, they call on random missionaries to speak right then and there so we all have to have talks prepared and guess what... Yep they called on me and I was not expecting it because I was teaching. But it was a cool experience to just go by the spirit. I've learned that a lot here... Go by the spirit!! Also we had a devotional by Lloyd Newell, which if you don't know he does music and the spoken word and is the announcer for general conference. That was SO good. Then we watched a devotional that Elder Bednar gave about how sometimes we might not realize that we are receiving spiritual promptings, but if we are living righteously, they most likely will be.
Today we woke up at 3 to help our roommates get there stuff to the travel center and it was SSSOOO sad to say good bye to them! I love them!! Also we went to the temple which is always great!! Pray for me because I'm feeling a little under the weather.
Anyway I'm leaving to Michigan Wednesday, so I might be calling then... I'm so excited I love being a missionary.
