whirlwinds are fun!

so I've just been realizing that i probably should have numbered these emails because I'm not even sure how long I've been gone...half the time I forget what day it is let alone what week :P but I will be in DC in a month (July 17th is my leave date so keep that in mind) :)

 

Anywho - it has been  one amazing week! First we heard from Elder Per G Malm of the 70 (yep he's Swedish!)! On Sunday I got to hear from some of the coolest ladies ever and meet one of them! Sis. Elaine S. Dalton came and spoke in Relief Society and then Sis. Sheri Dew for the Sunday night fireside (I met sis Dalton)! So amazing! They are both such amazing, very different ladies, but that does not mean the Spirit was any less present in the room! It was an honor to hear from them - esp Sis. Dalton cause I grew up with her in Young Women's so I loved it (by the way - if any of these people you're asking yourself "Who??" talk to my parents - they can help you out :D)

 

Wednesday and Friday was english fast day - so ALL SPANISH ALL DAY!! That was crazy challenging - we had to ask for permission to speak in english but if we spoke without permission we got ten seconds of wallsits for each word...lets just say I had 28 words weds and 21 friday - my legs are awesome!!

 

Okay - back to life! Well the work moves on as always! I'm still figuring out how I learn and I think that is why the MTC is so great - we learn what we are doing and how we can do better while working in the Lord's name. We learn so heavily through the Spirit here that it just makes you physically exhausted in a wonderful way! I love it! and my studies are going so much better than I ever imagined - I cannot tell you how many times I have read 1 Nephi, but I can tell you that this is the first time I've studied it! So very amazing! The Spirit helps me learn and in turn helps me teach to help others learn :D

 

Well we have many things going on this next week with new mission presidents training but it will be so very amazing and I am overflowing with joy as to who may come and speak! I love this gospel and I love to learn from the prophet and the apostles who are on the earth today and who have lived! Keep up all the good work - and never fear for the Lord is with you if you keep his commmandments. He know's your pain and will bear you up if you will let him!

 

Te Amo!
