At the MTC

Hello amazing family,

I only have another 20 minutes to write after reading your emails! i really appreciate them so thank you! I will only be able to send out a bulk email for the next two weeks until I get in the feild and I can make a phone call from the airport so can you send me the number of who ever has the most people at the house in say... 2ish weeks from today. I will either leave on a tuesday or a Wednesday.

So my Goss... I love the MTC!!!!!!.. The first two days were awesome! I was greated like a celebrity lol! A whole group of people came to greet me cause I am international and from AUSTRALIA and people always just want me to talk. Everytime I open my mouth people someone is like ohhh I looove your accent where are you from? then I say Australia and they say oh i love that place.. then I Say wow have you been and then they say uhhh no hehe... Sometimes people are a little silly.

So remember how I was nervous before I left.. well yeah I am totally not nervous at all. My first two days I was a solo sister so I made tons of friends and now I am in a trio companionship.. being in a companionship is sometimes annoying and I am probably pretty annoying to them cause when I am tired I forget stuff so we always have to walk back to our room cause I am tireed alllllll the time hehehe ooopps! Sometimes I am so tired I feel like crying. Sometimes my companions annoy me so much that I yell at them..... on Monday hehe then we make up and I named Monday Explosion day and the next day we bought pop rocks to celebrate! Taste the Explosion!!! So we are all good now!

I love teaching lessons! I love learning and I am like the nazi in our class telling everyone to shut up all day cause I am here to learn.. that was one of my issues with my companions.. they were writing letters in class when they were supposed to be doing their study for our lessons so like the first 3 lessons I ended up teaching almost on my own.

I am really trying to focus on shutting up myself now and trying to let the spirit guide me while I study and talk to investigators (they are only acting but you are still bearing testimony to heavenly father). I am trying really hard to follow all the rules and the only day I didnt get up on time was when my alarm didnt work... we all slept in that day but you can definately tell the difference in how much you have the spirit that day.

Sunday night

Oh Andrew... Elder Holland did our devotional last night!

He was so powerful and I was so humbled. Repent everyday. Remember everything you did down to your smallest thoughts and repent! Everyone should know that if you love the Saviour.... feed his sheep.. not just on a mission but always. I know that the Saviour is real and he really does love us. God knows us individually. I have felt their love so strongly this week. There were times when I felt like their was someone hugging me and telling me that it will all be ok and I am in the right place that I am his beautiful daughter! I feel so humbled. I have to do everything I can to show my love back to them
