Welcome to yet another wonderful day in the world! Guess what - i've been in the MTC for a month now and it is crazy! My biggest problem is balancing - we have set aside times to study during the day but all I want to do to learn Spanish is read my scriptures in Spanish - but that doesn't help with all the rules we have to learn. You remember how they teach you the same thing every year when you learn about nouns and adverbs and adjectives....then in high school it gets more complicated??? lets throw 12 years of school together and teach it to missionaries in 9 weeks! it's insaine. We have to conjugate a verb to the person talked about so me, he/she/it, us, them...then you have to put it in the tense you are talking about so past, present, future...and 11 other tenses in between. Pretty crazy but the Lord is amazing and if we couldn't do it in 9 weeks - then he would give us more time! so yep.
My week at the MTC has been pretty great but let's start off with a few notes of love!
-SHAN CANNON!! Thank you sooooooo much for my package!! First box i got in the MTC so that was uber exciting! and you are super sweet - letter coming to you soon!
-Monteleone family= thanks for taking care of my mom and my siblings this weekend! Wish i could have been there but I know it was amazing! PS - give ryan on BIG huge for me! And Im way excited he was there - love you all!!
-Kaity - met Sis. Erickson that you served with the other day (guess she's married now...) any who - she has a hug coming to you soon!
okay...so not a lot of notes but i love you all! trust me - anyone of you reading this email, any of you that know me - I LOVE YOU!!! that's right, I'm talking to you so you best be sure of that cause i love you :D
oh - and can someone get me Wes Wagner's address or even his mission name and i think i can look it up? Kaity perhaps?? should be on his face book or if you email Jace Ewing he should be able to get it to you or Brandon Lowe. Just feel the need to write that missionary!
ok ok ok OKAY! back to mission life. Well this week I became and investigator which is fun cause we get taught by one companionship and teach another. It's fun cause we can see all the teaching styles and help each other learn. We had to come up with our own investigators and are in character roles with our companions (my comp and I are "roommates" that just met cause we live together :P) so that's been fun. Elder Marlin K Jensen of the 70 spoke at devotional last week about how important this work was and gave us advice on how to "trap" people on an airplane and talk about what we "do for a living" - haha, it was pretty amazing! It was extra special because he just turns 70 and gets released later this month (yep - they are released when they turn 70)!
Few questions for the family - still not sure what's going on with my room and I'm a tad curious. and Where my stuff went (like my movies that probs shouldn't be in the connext)?? Just thoughts I have randomly. Oh - and I had thoughts of pani popo the other day and was craving some so that would be cool in the mission field! just thoughts on my mind :D and if someone can find my volcom bag that has the shoulder strap and send it to me that would be great (or new large side strap bags are cool) - just found out as a sister missionary I'm not allowed to use a backpack and i left all my good bags at home. Just a little confused because I had no idea where to find these rules before i left. SO any of you sister missionaries out there - CHECK OUT LDS.ORG for missionary clothing guidelines before you get to the store (SERIOUSLY - it will help so much) and all missionaries - they have things here that you can get at the store for toiletries that are cheaper than you can get at home...keep that in mind.
I just have to say that this church is TRUE - restored through Joseph Smith by the power of Heavenly Father. Joseph prayed to know which church was true and Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ came to him and told him none were true and that the Lord's church was to be restored as was in the time of Christ's life. If you want to know what I am doing and why I am here it challenge you to read the Book of Mormon - ALL OF IT!. Read the introduction and follow what it says to do in the second to last paragraph of the introduction - read, ponder, pray to Heavenly Father, in the name of Jesus Christ to know it is true and you will know if you sincerly want to. I would not share this message with others I didn't know i didn't believe in it myself. The Book of Mormon testifies of Christ and you can see his hand in every page of the book. I testify that this gospel is true. In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
I LOVE YOU ALL!! Stay amazing and safe!
