First Week at In Person MTC

Hello everyone!

This week consisted of a few different things so let's get into it.

I ended home MTC and then spent a lot of time packing and with my fam which was great! The drop off was sad but luckily my comp is so amazing and that helped a ton! 

Like I said my comp is amazing! She is so outgoing and kind and is definitely someone I know God knew that I needed. All the sisters are amazing, and I have a great district.

We had a devotional by Elder Bednar called the Character of Christ, it was so good and I would highly recommend it. At the end we had these two guys Justin and Ed come share their conversion story to Christ and it was so neat to hear everything they overcame. They both had a problem with substance abuse and through God were able to overcome it, plus they were super entertaining in the way they shared their stories. Overall, they told us to not dismiss those who seem rough around the edges because everyone needs an opportunity to receive the gospel.

We taught our second practice lesson and it was about the Gospel of Jesus Christ and I think it went well, we haven't gotten our score yet. So fingers crossed.

Something fun is that we saw a deer this morning after breakfast which was pretty cool.

But yeah the MTC is great and the gospel is so true! 

Love all you guys! Thank you for the prayers! 

I love my family1

First Email

Hello everyone!

I wasn't sure if I was going to send an email during Home MTC but I have truly seen God's hand through it so I thought I would share a few thoughts.

I won't lie this experience started out slow but I can confidently say that it is getting better every day. I was blessed to have the best comp ever! Her name is Sister Hendrix and her personality and who she is is definitely something God knew I would need. 

It is crazy home much you learn during the MTC! What is even more crazy is how much God has allowed me to learn and understand more than I ever have in my life. I am more able to find purpose in my studies than I ever have.

A neat experience has been planning for my first lesson with my companion. At the MTC you do practice lessons so that is what we are preparing for. We have been studying the restoration for this lesson and I have learned so much! I never knew all the different things that go into the restoration. An interesting thing shared with us from a teacher was, even though these lessons are practices, we are bringing ourselves and whoever we are teaching closer to Christ as we share our testimony. I loved that because it gave me more meaning and purpose when planning those lessons.

My district is awesome! We have so many different personalities and interests but somehow it all fits together and makes for a fun time. I am so excited to meet them all in person!

Spiritual thought: Alma 32:27, "exercise a particle of faith, yea even if ye can no more than desire to believe" As you seek and put in effort through the Holy Ghost, God will magnify your efforts. He will take any desire of your heart and through your effort will help you learn and grow. I have truly seen that through my MTC experience.

Thank you all so much for the love and prayers, I have felt them. You are all the best!
