Happy Saturday!
This week has been SO good and fun and I honestly love the MTC and my companions!!! This week we've been learning a ton more Spanish and starting to practice lessons with our district and our teacher- it's hard but it's so cool how the words just kinda come out sometimes (we love the gift of tongues!). We also started teaching actual lessons (in English) in TRC (still not really sure what it stands for). The TRC is where they have “investigators” and we go in there and teach them a 25-minute lessons. We LOVE it. Its seriously amazing how things just work out and how all three of us just complement each other. BUT, next week we start the lessons in Spanish so that'll be fun/scary. I can’t really remember all of this week so I'll just share some highlights...
On Thursday our district decided to play beach volleyball for exercise and it was one of my favorite things, it made me SO happy. It was crazy hot but it was just so nice to get to play again.
We got Papa John's pizza for dinner Friday night, 10/10
So for those who've been to the MTC, you probably know about Hermana Mittens, but for those who don't, she’s this cat that lives on campus and she’s so cute!! Her real name is Luna Harris and she sleeps outside our building all the time, I LOVE HER. I picked her up and took a picture so there's that.
In all seriousness, this week has been great, and I'm learning so much Spanish and so much about Christ. Something we talked about a lot this week was the Holy Ghost. A lot of people share stories about a time when they prayed and they had a huge revaluation where they knew the church was true. I always felt bad because that had never happened to me. The day before I got here, Elder Bednar (an Apostle for our church) came and spoke about how, if we're being good and doing what were supposed to, we should have the Holy Ghost as a constant companion. It's so important for us to recognize and be able to discern the whispers of the Holy Ghost, because when we do, we will be led to do what's right and be able to recognize the Holy Ghost even better! A scripture I like that talks about this is D&C 11:12 which says, “And now, verily, verily, I say unto thee, put your trust in that Spirit which leadeth to do good—yea, to do justly, to walk humbly, to judge righteously; and this is my Spirit.” Anything that invites us to do good and justly, walk humbly, and judge righteously is from God. And, the more we do these things, the more God will inspire us.
I love you all a ton, thanks for your emails and packages!
Love,
