Week 3: Maryland Bound

Hi everyone!!  

I won't be able to write much this week.  We aren't having an official Pday since we are leaving tomorrow.  4 elders from our district left this morning. That was kinda sad. You create a strong bond with one purpose and grow so close within days and then after a couple weeks we have to all separate. It sucks! 
This week has been really good though!! I still kinda have a cold, but it is getting better. I also don't really want to leave the MTC! I am so excited to get to Maryland though!!!!  
We did floral Friday with our ties😂 and We did a tie signing with one of our teachers!!! That was cool and I got his tie because he liked mine and wanted to trade!! 
I got a haircut on Saturday.  That was the most violent and fastest haircut I've ever gotten!!!
I just want to share that I know this gospel is true and that Christ is our Savior and that he died and lives again for us!  And I know that our Heavenly Father loves me and you and is watching over me and will protect me as I serve Him and bring His children back to Him!  
Something that I really love is this scripture.  D&C 18:15 "And if it so be that you should labor all your days in crying repentance unto this people, and bring, save it be one soul unto me, how great shall be your joy with him in the kingdom of my Father!" If all I can do on my mission is grow closer to God, I'm a successful missionary.  It doesn't matter how many people I convert or baptize as long as I am converted. 

Thank you all so much for your support!  I will write next week from Maryland!

Week 1: Provo MTC

Hey everyone!!! I can't tell you enough how happy I am it's P-day! It's been a crazy week and I've learned a ton! The MTC is pretty great, and the food isn't too bad! But exercise time is the best! Me and my comp have been able to teach 3 role play investigators so far. 2 of them we taught for the first time yesterday. One of them was a lady who was in her 70's and her daughters are members. One of them died during child birth, and she had promised her that she'd give the church a chance so she talked to us! The spirit was so strong and it being only our 3rd lesson we had notes ready to use but didn't look at them once! The spirit taught the lesson completely! I don't even remember what we said it was so powerful!! At the end of the lesson we asked her to read the Book of Mormon and pray to know what it and we say is true. At that point she said " I will read it and I will pray. However, I already know what you say is true...

Week 9: TWO MONTHS and Blessings of an Eagle Project

Hello All! Its crazy to think its been 2 months! It feels like it flew by but it has been forever long too!! This week was busy! On Tuesday we just procelited and helped Elder Palmer get ready to leave! Wednesday we dropped him off and got our new companion, Elder Ainsworth.  We got a few groceries, went home and dropped everything off. Then we had service until like 4, planned, studies and went proceliting around 6.  Thursday we had service for someone, after that My comps had a meeting with the DLs so the normal Joe blows got together and I got to drive for the first time in 2 months and we went to a couple of potentials.  After that we went back and did normal proceliting.  Friday we helped a member roof his shed! My Eagle Project came in handy and I shingled it with him! Again we didn't procelite until around 6! Before we went out I said a prayer asking since we didn't have a lot of time to be guided to where we could find someone and maybe get a referral....

Week 2: Provo MTC

Hey Everyone!  I got my itinerary!!! I will NOT get another Pday but we might get to  email Monday ! In class we have been learning about looking for and finding evidences of faith in our investigators.  If they don't feel comfortable praying then have them read or just listen and think.  Last week went by so fast!!!  We get new teachers this week which kinda sucks! i liked my teachers!   I feel like I've grown a lot since I've been here! Somehow its only been 2 weeks! some awesome stuff i want to share with you:  If you don't know if the spirit is telling you something or if its your own thoughts Elder Bednar says " Just quit worrying about it! Go forward with faith and as long as you're worthy you'll have the spirit with you" I love that and i know i have a lot of times where i don't know if its me or the spirit! Another couple quotes i like are "You need to feed your faith before you feed your doubts"  "People don't care ...
