WEEK 2: Home MTC

 This week flew by. I got to teach a lady named Elena (an mtc volunteer) and it went so well! I am starting to be much more confident in teaching and being vulnerable. It is such a beautiful thing opening up and letting the spirit guide your words. I will be honest, I wasn't used to it. I have never been one to openly be vulnerable about my spiritual feelings, but when I'm in an environment with other missionaries, a whole new side of me opens up. I hope to never lose this because I love the feelings I get when I share with other people. I have learned so much from my district as well. 

My scenery hasn't changed a bit, I'm still looking at a computer on a desk in my room. I try to get out of the house as much as I can, but it isn't a lot. I appreciate any time I get to spend with my family so much more. I don't vocalize it much, but I have seen what each one of them has done to help me with this mtc experience and it has made all the difference. I know it can be inconvenient for them sometimes to plan around me, but they haven't once complained or wished otherwise. Their support has carried me this far, and I am so grateful that I am able to online mtc and still be with my family. It has been such a blessing.

cool quote from a devotional I watched: No one can fall lower than Christ's light can shine:)

Week 69

This week had a lot of highs, and the lowest of lows. So we will start with the highs! We had a mission wide devotional with Neil L Anderson in Knoxville! This is the 3rd and final time on my mission that we have gathered as an entire mission in one Chapel!! There is something really special about being the all the missionaries in the whole mission. But obviously the best part was meeting one of the 12 apostles, getting to shake his hand, and then getting spiritually fed by him for a few hours. I recivied so much revelation (almost to the point where it is overwhelming), so I'm just looking back at little segments of my notes at a time, or else I will not know where to start, so I won't start 😂 so I'm doing one thing at a time. I wish I could summarize all the thought I had into one paragraph, but that would be impossible. But boy was it cool! Before the devotional while we were in Knoxville we went and visited claire!!! She is that cute little Filipino that I taught and b...

Week 74

Alrighty, here I am again. This was MIRACLE filled week. It had its ups and downs, but I'm going to focus on the ups! So first of all, the big miracle is James!!! This has got to be the most prepared person I have ever met on my entire mission! Not an exaggeration! I can't remember exactly what I've said about him in the past, so here's a little summary. We were walking around a neighborhood last Sunday after church and we decided to knock his door. He was really nice, so we came back on Tuesday to do a Bible study. Then we lost contact with him for the rest of the week. BUT he showed up to church on Sunday!!! We were so shocked!! Then he came to church AGAIN and he had read all the way up to Jacob, and he knew everything about the saints leaving to Utah, their history, everything about Joseph Smith and Emma Smith, and a bunch of other random facts! He said he knew Joseph Smith was called of God and he never wanted to stop coming to our church because he said it feels ...

Week 17

This has actually been a pretty awesome week! Miracles have definitely happened. One of the things that was the highlight, was that we were able to get our friend Claire on date to be baptized! Claire is the sweetest human ever. She is from the phillipines and was super curious about our church after the missionaries accidentally called her when they were given the wrong number by someone else. It has been so cool teaching her because when we first started teaching her, you could tell that there was a lot of confusion in her life and she was missing something. The more we taught her about the restored gospel, the more she got curious and excited to learn more. It was SO cool to witness that! She is doing so much studying on her own, and that has made her progression so much quicker. I love her soooo much!! On the flip side, I got so so so sick on tuesday and wednesday. Tuesday it was bad, I was struggling to breath on the couch during a zoom and I felt like garbage, so my comps said i ...
