I Love Being A Missionary

ALOHA!! Hahah just kidding hello!! :) This week feels like its all blended together. I honestly can't even say what I did because it's just all a blur! 

Last Friday I was sick. It wasn't good, my stomach was not doing well so I slept for half an hour and after I woke up... I was literally healed! I had prayed and prayed Heavenly Father would heal my stomach or make the pain bearable so I wouldn't have to miss class, and guess what. HE DID! And He blessed me with so much more. He is so aware of us. I am so grateful for everything He blesses me with everyday!! 

Sunday was Fast Sunday, so I bore my testimony on being the Lord's missionary and absolutely bawled. Ha But what are ya gonna do!! :) The sisters in my district sang the song, "Gethsemane" acapella, and I think that went well too! We had the temple walk with the branch president and his wife and that was so peaceful and awesome. I love Sundays!!! 

 We had choir practice and dinner, and oh man. Dinner was so good. I was way hungry so it was awesome. Then we had a devotional about the Holy Ghost by Richard I Heaton!  Then later that evening watched the talk "Missions Are Forever" by Jeffrey R. Holland. And MAN OH MAN that guy knows how to drill things into my mind! IT WAS PHENOMENAL! I loved it so much. He is like my inspiration. I am so grateful to be serving a mission! Holy cow, I can't say that enough. Then later that night, the sisters and I had a cupcake party! It was way fun and delicious :) 

Monday we got 2 new TRC investigators (which we don't know if they are members or not, some are real nonmembers and you just never know) and that was wonderful to teach them! We also teach our teachers, who play investigators as well. But it doesn't even matter if someone is a member or not. You can feel the spirit so strongly its amazing! I don't even mind role playing anymore either. It really helps me improve! We also got to have Chick Fil A for dinner on Monday! BLESSINGS!! "My pleasure" anyone? ;)  

Tuesday we had service and cleaned bathrooms, exercised, and had an awesome devotional about missionaries. I sang in the choir, "I Feel My Savior's Love." SO COOL!! So powerful. I loved it.  Fave quote of the devotional, "You serve your mission by turning outward to others." 

Then Wednesday we got our new district in our zone! It's so fun not be alone anymore! So as STL (Sister Training Leader) we went over and gave them an orientation meeting which was awesome. I love being able to serve in this position. It helps me improve so many skills! The Lord helps turn our weaknesses into strengths. 

I leave Wednesday to DC! Its crazy! Next time you hear from me I'll be gone from the MTC!!! This place is wonderful and I will really miss it. But I can't wait for the field!! OK. I hope you got all the pictures I sent because I sent a TON! Enjoy! I love all of you so much and couldn't do this mission without all the love and support. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!! 

Have a beautiful wonderful day and week! I love you!!!!! :) 

(She also included her flight information for next week. "I got my itinerary and I leave the MTC on Wednesday at 2:30am. My flight leaves at 6am so I will be calling you in between that time. I think? My flight stops in Minnesota and I don't know if I get to call again or what. But I get there at 10:25am and then my flight to DC is at 1:54pm."  She'll have a long day.)
