Happy Wednesday!!
Alright alright let me just tell you
this past week has been AMAZING. Our Senior Districts in our Branch all
left to Korea this past Monday and let me tell you it was so sad. A lot
of us Sisters were all really close to each other and when it was time
to say goodbye we didn't want them to leave! On Sunday night they were
all up late packing and Kava came in at about Midnight and tucked us all
in bed. It threw me off because first of all, I was dead asleep and
then out of nowhere someone is wrapping me up like a burrito! With one
eye closed and the other one barely opened I saw that it was Kava. It's
amazing to hear everybody's stories on why they want to serve and how
they all got here. The faith all these Elders and Sisters have here at
the MTC blow me away. Despite their hardships and trials in life they
have so much faith to go on a Mission having faith that the Lord will
bless them in their trials and bless their families while they are gone.
I love it!
THE TIME IS TICKING DOWN. We have
19 days until we leave to Korea! How amazing is that?! I don't know
whether I should be in complete terror or be absolutely excited. Just
kidding... I'm so EXCITED. (And a little nervous...but 98% is
excitement. :) We call the MTC the little Incubator for us or the
training wheels.
Just a little spiritual
thought for the week: This past devotional Sister Oscarson, the YW's
General President came and spoke to us. She talked about how obedience
is so important. She said Missions are hard because 1. You have to work
hard, but 2. As Missionaries we are learning how to forget ourselves and
we are learning to give all of our time, effort, energy and every
single moment to the Lord. We're looking outward to help others instead
of always thinking about ourselves first. I loved that because it is a
good reminder! She also said that Our individual Missions are the
training grounds for our life.
The Lord called us for a
specific reason. We all have a purpose here in life. And we are all
going to go through hard times. But the Lord knows us better than we
know ourselves. Sometimes we have to be humble and be willing to humbly
accept that his plan is better than ours. She shared the Mormon Message
about the current bush. It's called "The Will of God" https://www.lds.org/media-library/video/2012-01-014-the-will-of-god?lang=eng
I encourage you all to watch this! It has had a major impact to so
many people throughout the world and this Mormon Message changed my
perspective on life when I was a sophomore in High School. This video
has a special place in my heart and I know it has a massive influence on
the way we look at our trials and things.
LIFE AT THE MTC
1. I was holding on to Kava's leg for the longest time because I did not want her to leave me.
2.
Their was a BAT ON OUR FLOOR. We all had to evacuate our floor and all
the girls were on the ground crawling out the door screaming because
they were scared the Bat was going to give them rabies. hahaha I even
looked in and the Security Guards trying to catch the Bat were on the
ground screaming with Trash bags hahaha.
3. NEW MISSIONARIES
TODAY! It's going to be a very busy busy day for us getting all the
everyone here! Our Branch will now hold 111 people combined! Biggest
branch here. Wowza
4. Update on people running into the
Machines. Met a sister the other day who rammed her arm into it. haha I
felt sorry for her and told her she wasn't the first one.
Anyways I love you all and I love the MTC! I love being a Missionary and it makes me super happy! I love it I love it I love it
