Week 4 One Month Down

Wow, it blows my mind that I've been a missionary for 1 month! TIME FLIES!! This week Sister Hart & I were called as Sister Training Leaders. So last night we welcomed in all the new missionaries! 13 were just added to our zone! Facts about our zone- the Dutch are the best! We always joke around with them & yell DONT TOUCH THE DUTCH! Because one of the Dutch is always sick! I love all the inside jokes I have with other missionaries! One Elder is from Canada, but he was born in Cuba. So he has a great Nacho Libre accent! So between the two of us, him with his “eagle powers” and me with my “my favorite color is light tan” we make a great team of swapping quotes in our Nachooooo accents! "It's the best!!" Another Elder has 4 older sisters! (It's like you Landon!!) So he is very cultured in the ways of chick-flicks! So we have movie quote competitions. He'll quote a movie, then I guess, then I'll quote a movie, and he'll guess. It gets pretty crazy sometimes! hahaha(: The MTC is great! But it can get really repetitive and crazy!! But I love it(: I can't wait to share my excitement with the outside world! Yesterday we taught a women from Serbia, and I LOVED HER VOICE! Her Serbian/ Croatian is so much better than any return missionaries ;) I wanted to end with my testimony of the Savior. I know that He is always there for us. But how can we trust someone we don't know about? We need to study His life, His attributes, and try to emulate the things He did. Something that really hit me in my scripture study this week was how much self control and LOVE the Savior has! People mocked Him, scorned Him, and denied His power. He could have destroyed these people or even the very Earth they walked on, yet He did His Father's will. I know that I need to do my Father's Will no matter what people say to me, or try to do! If I trust in my Savior Jesus Christ and LOVE, everything will work out! He lives, He loves each of you. PLEASE trust Him(: He only wants the best for you even if things seem dark- God can make more of you than you can make of yourself!!! Jesus Christ is our brother and our friend. He can control the winds and the waves, why can't He help you? HE CAN!! & WILL! Look for Him in your life and you will see Him. He is there! I love my Savior Jesus Christ! Love you all!

 p.s.- It is SO WEIRD to see all the missionaries here talking to their families! You walk around our dorm on P-day and wowza, families everywhere! It's amazing! I can't wait to talk to my family later this afternoon!!
