#3 - Week two!

5/29/17

Hello! Hope you are all having a FANTASTIC week!

Sister Hodson from my YSA ward

 Happy Memorial Day! This is the first memorial day in 6 years that I'm not marching in a parade which is kind of weird. And Congratulations to all at Metea Valley who graduated yesterday!

Sister Howard who is a solo Portuguese sister (there's no other girls in her class so she was with us for a few days in our residence while waiting for new missionaries ) She's super sweet and we love her so much!

We kind of got into the swing of things here at the MTC this week. We started TRC, which is teaching a real investigator, or someone who wants to learn more about the Church. Our investigator is this really sweet, older woman, who loves reading the Book of Mormon and knows everything about the missionary discussions. We're trying to work with her on how to receive a confirmation from God on whether or not baptism is right for her. 

Meditation haha :)

On Tuesday Elder Dale. G Renlund of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles came to speak to us! In the organization of the Church worldwide, there's a prophet who is also the president of the church, and he has two counselors. Right below him there is the quorum of the twelve apostles, the same organization that Christ had with his apostles. It was absolutely amazing to hear from him! He and his wife spoke together which I thought was really cute, and it reminded me of how we're put into companionships when we teach. They talked about the importance of the Sacrament and renewing our covenants. This is partaking of the bread and water in remembrance of Christ on Sundays. They told us that it's important to think about your week before you get to Sunday in order to really think about Christ during the Sacrament and how to change. He also said that "The sacrament is the next ordinance we need after baptism, after receiving the Holy Ghost, and after every other ordinance". It's a constant reminder of how to become more Christlike.

Our district 

We got new missionaries on Wednesday! There's 8 new hermanas and 3 elders. I didn't get a picture of the whole zone, but there's a picture of the 5 in my district and all the Hermanas. Hermana Loma left for New York this morning, so we're really going to miss her, but she's going to do great! Also, I officially leave June 7th for California!

All the Hermanas in our zone

Side note- I do have an ipad just for my time at the MTC, so I can read emails at any time during the week, but I can only respond on Mondays. 

Hermana Loma left us some face masks.....

We worked a lot on personal, district, and companionship goals this week. I would encourage all of you to think of some goals in your own life with you personally and with your family. For many it's the end of school right now and Summer is the perfect time to start fresh and grow!
