I will start with the down so we can all be depressed at the start of my letter then get happy again by the end hahaha
So i learnt my role as district leader this week.. Its not a fun role but i kept reminding myself that i would rather myself go through this then anyone else in my District! We have an Elder in the District who has been telling his stories from back home and told us a lot of stuff he did which was/is extremely illegal.. like FBI worthy.. So i had the pleasure of meeting with him one on one to find out if there was any truth to his stories and he told me they all were and so i told him i had to meet with the Branch President and put it into his hands, this Elder then said some stuff that hit me pretty bad but i still knew what i had to do so i did it. Branch president has the District President meet with him and he felt he was fine and the Branch president met with him as well and felt the same.. So the Elder either lied to me or the leaders and i sure hope he was lying to me!! He is a great Elder but has so much to learn and understand the importance of his calling as a missionary! Things have gotten better from that day though (that was last Saturday).
The Thursday after my last letter we had a missionary go home from the District, he was struggling mentally and didn't talk to me about it so i couldnt help him and he decided to go home. It was sad but we knew we couldnt let it affect us, through him going home the other Elder who was struggling has seen why he needs to be here so it worked well for him! :)
My last negative... this one is for Sezzy... I HATE STUDYING!! HAHAH!! Sitting in a classroom for hours is very painful!! I am praying for the Lords help in getting me through the last couple of days of classes hahaha but i can definitely see where the studying has helped me in out Investigator lessons :) So i will drink my cup of concrete and soldier on hahaha
Now for some positives!! :D
We had a great temple session this morning, the spirit was so strong and i learnt different things like they say we will each time we go :) I felt a lot more confident and am more and more excited each time I go! I love the Temple :)
We had Elder Hollands son come this week.. He is president of UVU... WAIT!! I have one more negative!! Elder Holland is speaking here the Tuesday night... We leave early that morning so will miss him!! So depressing!! But his son was great!! He spoke about Joseph Smith and i learnt a lot about Joseph smiths family before he prayed in the grove and the tough path they had to go down! I am so grateful for Joseph Smith and what he went through for all of us.. I like to act tough but i would have died going through what he went through!! Haha My testimony of the Book of Mormon Came through Joseph Smith and i hope it will grow stronger the more i serve and turn to the Lord! :)
We then had Elder Neil L. Anderson speak to us on Sunday night, he is amazing and his testimony at the end touched me the most! He was talking about how he KNOWS Jesus Christ in this Mortal life... The spirit was crazy strong as he bore his testimony!! It was also his birthday so we were able to sing Happy Birthday for him! :D
I am so grateful for all the packages and letters i have received here in the MTC!! Keep them coming!! I forgot to mention that I leave the MTC This coming Tuesday, the 16th of August!! :) I can't wait to get out there and meet my Mission President and his wife!! :) I am excited for another set of parents in my life!! I have many sets now and i love you all! :D
I love you all!! Thank you for your prayers that are coming my way! :) I miss you all and hope everyone is happy and turning to the Lord in prayer! He is there for you. He loves you. He is anxious to hear from you all :) I have learnt that a lot this past week :)
