The MTC is
still great!! I am just tired all the time! My friend Hermana Hansen came in
today. I screamed really loud when I saw her! Also I am the only one I know
going to Tucson still... Most my district leaves on the 21st and I leave on the
20th which is a bit sad. Our district never
changes, however we keep getting new districts in our zone each week. I love my
district we are all super close especially the Hermanas. The weather is pretty
hot here, but we try to spend as much time as possible outside.
I can't believe
it's already been 3 weeks here, but I still have 17 months left! I love it
though! Sadly the temple is closed this week and next but we get to go clean it
next week which will be cool!
This past
week there was the new mission presidents training so all of the general
authorities have been here! Last Sunday we were walking back from out temple
walk and got to the crosswalk and they made us stop while President Monson and
President Uchtdorf drove away! It was really cute because President Eyring
wheeled President Monson out to his car. You can tell they all really love each
other. When President Uchtdorf and his wife drove by they unrolled the window
and waved at the small group of us so that was cool!
Oh!! We moved
again this week because apparently there were bats in 17M!! We didn't believe
them at first when they told us we were moving because that is the 2nd time we have
moved since we got here and because of bats! But it happened so now were back
in the gross old dorms again. Oh well. We get new rooms every week. I wouldn't
be surprised if we were asked to move again tomorrow!!
Also Spanish
is still coming great! I am gaining such a strong testimony of the gift of
tongues! It’s so real! At this point I can pretty much teach my part of the
lesson without notes!!
Last Sunday
we watched the Testaments! I loved it! What really stood out to me was when it
showed Jesus dying on the cross. I remember when I was little I used to get
crucifixion and resurrection mixed up, so I thought we'd all be crucified and
was terrified. Luckily I got all that straightened out a long time ago. What really hit me is how grateful I am that
because Jesus died on the cross and suffered in Gethsemane for us we don't have
to feel that pain. He already suffered for us. Also going along with that on Sunday
at the devotional something that stood out to me was when he said "what
makes us think we could be Saviors on Mount Zion without suffering?" That
just reminded me that we are doing the Lord's work and it's going to be hard,
but He'll help us carry our burdens because He has already felt this. All
suffering will be worth it due to the joy we will receive after from seeing
others come to Christ!
Joseph W.
Sitati spoke last night. He taught us
that our mission is the time for us to set our foundation for the future. I
hope that I come back from my mission a completely different person. I hope to
be my best self and be better than I was before. I want to put my all into this
work and make it worth it!
Love you all!!
