Nice Little Surprise!

Another amazing week in the MTC! I really do love this place! I am learning so much! 
For exercise time most of the people from our zone go outside and play volleyball and we want to take advantage of this nice weather so we have been playing volleyball. It is so fun. Our whole district played together and it was a blast! I love my district! 

Monday:Went to the temple! I feel at home when I go there and I love it! Got a cute Halloween package from my mom! That definitely made for a great Halloween! We taught our investigator that night and asked him to get baptized! He said yes! So that was exciting!:) 

Tuesday: My companions and I had the opportunity to go to the temple again because of one Sister in our district hadn't gone through yet. She is from Jamaica. It was such a great opportunity! I can't imagine doing that without your family there, but she was awesome! She has only been to the temple one other time than that. President Nelson came to speak to us! The spirit was so strong! He talked about how the one person that needs to be converted after the end of our missions is ourselves. My companions and I sang in the choir! We sang Praise to the Man. Choir practice is amazing cuz the choir director tells us all these amazing stories. So while we were practicing Praise to the Man we were learning all about Joseph Smith and my testimony grew so much! 

Wednesday: Nothing too exciting happened... All these new missionaries came in and it was so fun saying hi to them and welcoming them in:)

Thursday: Something that I learned was that we will be held accountable for every opportunity God gives us to share the Gospel. It is really important to always act on promptings:)


Friday: I learned that Heavenly Father loves me and is aware of my needs and answers my prayers. I was really struggling with the language on Thursday and I prayed that night that he would help me. Friday was great. I felt like I was understanding the language better and I could speak it better too. I know that I couldn't learn this language on my own. Heavenly Father is definitely helping me:) 

Saturday: Our investigator ended up being our other teacher! So now we have two teachers! It is awesome! He had us have a small testimony meeting in our class and it was so cool to hear all of the testimonies of the elders and sisters in my district. We all come from different backgrounds, but we are all here for the same purpose. They are all so strong in the gospel and have taught me so much already! We are already super close and get a long great!

Sunday: SUNDAYS ARE THE BEST! It was testimony meeting in sacrament and this one missionary bore his testimony about how we are called to speak the language in the language we will teach the Gospel best in and the language we can best communicate to Heavenly Father in. That was something I needed to hear:) 
Then I had a nice little surprise... I ran into my besties at the temple! Shout out to Kayla, Kenzie, and Velisity! I loved being able to see them. It made my day!:) It was an answer to my prayers! Then we had a devotional that night and Jenny Oaks Baker and her family spoke and played music! It is amazing how music can bare testimony to you stronger than words sometimes. She played Amazing Grace and it reminded me of my dad because his choir sang it and she played the violin for them:) It was one of the Elder's bday in our district so me and my companions got him tons of ice cream at dinner and sang him happy birthday:) It was fun!

Well, that is all for this week! I love this Gospel and I know that our Heavenly Father loves each one of us and is aware of our needs and answers our prayers.  Have a great week!:)
