dearelder letters. i am so glad i taught you how to use the computer.
haha just teasing. but it is great hearing from you. i am getting very
excited to go to Florida!! it is coming so fast i leave in four days!!!!
that is crazy that they tile you got came from ft lauderdale! what are
the odds? i have been practicing a lot at the MTC. they have a new
system here i guess you could say and by the time i leave i will have
taught about 30 times. so its a great learning experience and it helps
me learn a lot and helps me realized all the things i need to improve
on. all the the investigators are really members but when you pray for
the "investigator" part of them it becomes a real experiences its
amazing. on of the investigators that my comp and i decided to get
baptized! i was SO excited! its all a great learning experience and
helps me grow so much. another time, my comp and i were praying to know
what to teach a less active. and i decided that we should teach about
the atonement. my comp thought it was a great idea too. so we study and
show up at the apt. when we got there we had small talk and then we
asked her how reading and praying went... she said it went great and
then starting talking about the atonement! she was talking about how she
needed to apply it into her life and that Christ died for all her pains
and infirmities!! so that was a huge testimony builder for me becasue
we had studied the atonment for her and thats what she studied that
week. i was on cloud nine such an awesome experience! i am sorry to hear
that working on the church is not going so welL! i will be happy for
you all when its done! one more week! i am glad to hear the garden is
starting to grow! hopefully it doesnt freeze and you get all the beets
we planted haha. those will last you a while!
last pday was so amazing! the temple is so pretty on the inside! i
loved being there and i love the temple! i will miss going! thats for
sure! so just in case i run out of time heres some important info....
I LEAVE TUES JUNE 26. MY FLIGHT LEAVES AT SIX. I LEAVE THE MTC AT THREE.
YES THREE IN THE MORNING. hopefully i will be calling between 4-6am.
and i will call the house phone. so be ready!i dont know how long i will
be able to talk for so we will see how it goes. i had a nightmare the
other night that i wasnt able to call. SO i am praying that i will be
able to! i have a 40 min layover in dallas TX and then i get to florida
and 2 in the afternoon. its about a five hour flight give or take. i am
very excited but i hope that i dont get sick on the plane. there are a
few spanish speaking sisters headed to florida with me which is
awesome. and then there are about 10 elders going to florida and 5
going to jamaca will conintue flying after florida. obviously ha. so ya
thats all my flight info!! super crazy.
okay back to all the other stuff. so during gym time we almost
always play vball and its so much fun. mom do you remember when we went
to the provo temple for the pack family? well the sand vball where i
wanted to play... those were all missionaries so i am glad i didnt ha.
and we play softball sometimes. i am getting a little bit better ha. mom
you are a lifesaver for having me back in the zip lock bags! its so
nice! keeps everything organized. one of the funny things about being a
missionary is that things that would normally not be funny are hilarious
here. or fun. for example, we had the funnest time trying to guess
everyones first name. lame huh? but i loved it ha. the elders that we in
the district above us all left on monday! they were so awesome! and i
know they are all such great missionaries! the fire alarm went off the
other morning and luckily i was out of the shower! my comp wasn't though and i had to wait for her. great experience. my comp and i are the
coordinating sister for our zone and thats been fun. we get to welcome
the new district and lay out the rules. ha all the fun stuff. yesterday
morning we got ready and were headed to bfast and we always take our
bags in becuase they have cubbies for it. well this time the girl said
to leave it in the hallway and i was what?! so we did. we come out from
bfast and all of out bags were gone. as you can imagine i was a LITTLE
upset. so i walk in to the girl and was like wheres my bag. i prob wasnt
the nicest either. my bad. and she was like the front desk its a
hazzard to have them in the hall. and i was like you told me to put it
there... so i storm out and go to the front. basically they wrote all of
us up hahahahhaah because we aren't suppose to have out bags in the hall
or in the cubbies. stupid. but when she will filling out the slip i was
like what is that for. and shes like its so you can ask your pres any
question you have about your bags. i was like really?! nice try. anyways
so that was fantastic and hopefully pres laughs at it!
one last things hymn 112 is my new fav. and the arrangement for 17
is awesome! i will write more about this song later cuz im out of time.
but a sister sang it and it was amainz i have never felt the spirit so
strong. well i love you all! thanks so much for everything!! keep up the
great work fam! talk to you soon!
all my love
xo
