Done With The MTC

Well hahahah I'm an idiot and don't know how to work a Samsung and I wrote this whole heartfelt email and accidentally deleted it... so this will be a quick one but I figured I needed to get an email out before I left the mtc hahah


For starters home mtc was actually pretty good my zooms didn't feel too long and the spirit was always strong while I was in classes. It also helped a lot that my mom was my personal chauffeur and took me to swig like three times a day haha I love you mom!!


Saying goodbye too my family was really so so incredibly hard but I know I'm in the right place right now so that brings me a lot of peace and comfort. It was also so so helpful and fun to meet my district and my companion in person! They all make me so happy!! Me and my comp are complete opposites, she's super cool and athletic and I'm a Lil more girly but we get along really well and we laugh a lot together. I also have learned SO much from her about teaching and listening to the spirit she's so cool even though she makes fun of my pink socks.


I've also learned SO incredibly much the short time that I've been here at the mtc and I'm learning how to really rely and depend on my savior and I've never felt closer to him than I do now, it is so special. I always told myself i wouldn't change on my mission and I don't think who I am to the core will ever change but I can feel my heart changing and I love the gospel more and more each day and I can't wait to share it. Being a missionary is cool.


I head to Orlando on Monday morning at 3 in the morning and I'm mixture of feeling so excited and so nervous. I've loved my time here at the mtc and it's taught me so much but I'm feeling kinda ready to actually apply all that I've learned here. Pray for me that the transition isn't too tough hahaha.


Anyways sorry that this was kinda short i promise ill try harder next week mom!!! But i love you all so much thank you for all your prayers and support.


My favorite scriptures this week have been Matthew 12:28-30 and Alma 26:22-13 read them if you get a chance!!

Give Time a Chance

This week was solid! Even though the weather was either too hot to even attempt finding outside or pouring rain, we did as best we could! We have a couple of people we're teaching that could be getting ready for baptism! The struggle is getting them to 9:30 church. Apparently it's just too early hahaha Our friend Henry was able to make it to church this week though which is a BIG win. He lives pretty far away and doesn't have a car, which means he has to bike in the Florida heat to come to church. But he came! And said he would come back next week!! The youth in the Oviedo Ward are so amazing,  They always welcome us right in and are so fun to hang out with! Sister Siddoway and I have been inviting them to come to teach lessons with us and they are always SO willing and excited.  It amazes me because I was nothing like that at their age. I would have been terrified so they're great examples to me. We did a bunch of service this week which I love so much because you can ...

2 Baptisms And A Wedding!

Image
That last couple weeks have been so amazing!! For starters last week we we're running out of our friend joannes lesson cause we were late for another one and she just casually says "I'm getting the thought that I need to be baptized next week" we were shook because joanne is amazing but told us it would probably be long a while before she was ready to get baptized but after spending our lesson reading 1 nephi 1 she couldn't deny the spirit she felt and the way she related to nephi! The book of mormon truly has converting power!! The Spirit was so strong and she kept saying how excited she was to be baptized just like Jesus! Her baptism day was so special she had so much support from the ward and she was just beaming with joy the whole day! Her unshaken trust in Jesus Christ has changed me and taught me so much! These last couple weeks have also been spent on the the phone with the courthouse for hours trying to find a marshallese translator for our friends Tommy a...
