Hola amigos y familia!! Hope all is well!!
To start off I'll explain the uh subject above! So one of the first days here we were sitting at lunch as a district and we were talking about what "vibes" each of us give off and so I asked when it was my turn and the response from precious elder hoagie was "hot soccer mom vibes" so there we go I guess haha! Anyways so far I have absolutely loved being a missionary!! Saying bye sucked but my companions and i are super close and our district is so fun in person! Love them all!!
Language
Spanish is hard!! But I'm getting the hang of it slowly... I have two awesome teachers who help me a lot but first day in spanish only was crazy! My comps and I have our first teaching lesson In spanish on friday so wish us luck! It's getting easier as we go along but it's a lot for sure! I will say though that the gift of tongues is so real!!
Friends!
I have run into so many friends here at the mtc!! Including Elder Chamberlin, Elder Knight both elder Russell Carlson and elder Devin Carlson. And ft below is my like distant cousin Sister Adams who I didn't know was my cousin until we pulled up family tree haha! And ft Elder Bawden and our earth pic haha! Anyways so ya lots of friends.
AlSO BIRTHDAY SHOUTOUT TO MY BEAUTIFUL SIS ELLIE RUTHIE!!! Even tho it was yesterday... THE BIG 16!! Woot woot! RIP my car tho tbh haha jk I love you!!
Cool experience
To be honest I've been a pretty dang happy missionary! The spirit here is amazing and I've already learned so much about myself! I've learned what I'm good at and what I need to work on and the best part is, I'm still learning!! I say this because Saturday was rough, I was really struggling with having confidence in myself as a missionary and trying to learn the language along with some homesickness. I felt so low... I prayed and asked Heavenly Father what I should do and how I could be a better missionary and then fell asleep. The next morning was Sunday and Sundays in the MTC are like the best ever! I woke up feeling a little better but still not great, the spirit kept telling me I needed a priesthood blessing. I was nervous because for those of you who really know me, I don't like to ask for help. Finally I got enough courage to talk with my district and ask my district leader if he would give me a priesthood blessing later that evening. IT WAS THE COOLEST EXPIERENCE EVER. ELDER GEORGE ROCKS! I have never felt the spirit so strongly besides being in the temple, after he ended the blessing I felt this weight just lift off of my shoulders and I just couldn't help but cry because I was so grateful. It was even Elder George's first blessing and he did so good. With this, I encourage you all to ask for help when you need it. Whether it be to your bishop, heavenly father, parents, etc. ASK! It truly will bless you.
That's all for this week. I love you all!
GOD IS SO GOOD!!
