Oh what a glorious week it has been!!!! I HAVE 3 DAYS LEFT. I head to the airport at like 3:30 monday and then its game time. The MTC has been such an AMAZIN time. I love everything about it. Some days are hard, but my companions are beautiful and always cheer me up. We taught Barbara, one of our investigators, who didn't even know about Jesus Christ!! it was crazy. I was so sad because so many people don't know about Christ and this gospel and that is why I am here! So we taught her and the lesson went AWESOME. We invited her to pray and she said she would try. The next day was a rough day for me and I wasn't feeling like I was good enough and just super down on myself. I butchered the first lesson of the day and wanted to cry but then I went into a corner and just prayyyyyyed my guts out that God would help me teach with the spirit. Then we went into teach barbara and I felt the spirit so strong. We taught her about Christ and His atoning sacrifice and how much he loves us. She was confused on how God could love each and everyone of us so much. "There are billions of people, how does he know me?" she said. Then a scripture popped into my mind it was Psalms 147: 4-5: 4 He telleth the number of the stars; he calleth them all by their names.
5 Great is our Lord, and of great power: his understanding is infinite.
5 Great is our Lord, and of great power: his understanding is infinite.
Heavenly Father is our Father! He knows each and everyone of us so personally! If He can name each and every star - billions upon trillions upon gazillions of them- then He can know and love us each. "His understanding is infinite." He KNOWS us. He has a plan for us! So Barbara loved that. She couldn't stop smiling because she could feel God's love for her!!! Everyone should feel that. God loves y'all so much!! I know why I am here. To help people come unto Christ and feel God's love!
So my companion Sister Stewart is going to San Diego, and Sister Condie my other companion is going to Las Vegas! So we all leave different days and I'm glad I leave first because these ladies have become my sisters. They have lifted me and guided me to be the best missionary I can be. I love them with all I got and I know we will always be so close. Also I love my district! They are my family! They all go to Vegas and San Diego and I am the only one to go to Arizona so that will be sad goodbyes :( But God needs us!
So orange juice... yep the orange juice here does NOT i repeat does NOT settle well with the belly. And I have had like 3 glasses a day for the first couple days and I am dying but its ok! That was the first thing I told the new missionaries haha lesson learned.
Sunday was phenomenal. Everyone is so focused on Christ that the spirit is so strong!! You know Johnny Grober? From the other side of heaven movie? The real Brother Grober came and spoke to us!!! It was amazin. He told us we could bear our testimony through word, song, actions, and who we are. It just showed me how much more of an example I need to be and I need to be more like Christ.
My new missionaries came in yesterday!! Training is so fun. These sisters are amazin too. Crazy how now when I see people I can just feel God's love emanating off of them. The spirit is so strong here. Im gonna miss the MTC but I am super stoked to get into Arizona!
Well time is about up. I dont know how to send pics on this computer haha but I will try my best! Yall may have to wait till next week. But I just want y'all to know this church is true. God is watching over me I have felt it. I love you each with all I got. I don't think I have prayed this much in my life haha it is so important to have God with you at all times.
Next stop- Arizona!!!!
