BOK!
WEEK 7 at the MTC! I really love my time here, but I’m so excited to head out to Croatia! I get my flight plans next Friday, so the countdown begins!
This week everyone got put on quarantine! We aren’t allowed to high five, shake hands and no hugs- SOS! The flu is spreading really bad here.... & one of our sisters got put into literal quarantine where she couldn’t see anyone or do anything! But as STL’s we broke her out of “prison” today! Hahaha
Also fun fact, I sprained my ankle today saving the MTC cat from a tree. JOKES! I was just playing volleyball, lame... Haha.
My companion and I just got back from the temple. It is the best place to be! There I read the scripture from Matthew 19:26
“But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible”
I know that all things are possible through the Lord. But when I read this quote it reminded me of a quote I heard on Sunday
“We can’t expect the Lord to guide our footsteps if we don’t move our feet”
ALL THINGS are possible with God BUT we have to move our feet! He wants to bless & guide us, but we have to keep moving forward(:
God loves you all so much! Keep moving, look to Him, TRUST Him & you can do all things! Jesus healed the blind, lame, dead, & crippled. HE CAN HEAL YOU. Just ask Him(:
I love & appreciate ALL of you so much!
Love you all!
Love the crippled, ready to get out of here, crazy, HAPPY,

I'm enjoying life down here (: It's crazy but also so fun! I mean, being a missionary is hard, but MTC missionary wow we've got it easy! I seriously sit in class, get fed tons of food (and ice cream) then we have studying and yeah! Don't get me wrong, it's tough! Studying so much and preparing so many lessons, but it's SO great! I love that all my focus is on the Lord and His work! We all need to help gather scattered Israel! It is an amazing blessing we have!
Sunday- Brad Wilcox came and spoke to us! It was so great! He spoke on Scattered Israel and gathering them in! SO COOL! I encourage all of you to study that and how you can better gather scattered israel!
Some quotes from Him-
"Be true to the birthright you have been given! True to the responsibilities"
"don't you dare let the world change you, when you were born to change the world!"
He also compared life to a giant cruise! We are all going around trying to gain experiences (it made sense when he said it) anyway! He said- "remember who you are! you are not a passenger, you are a member of the crew!" "There is nothing that could be asked of you that you haven't already been paid in full for" THE BIRTHRIGHT! I love this! I love that we have this opportunity!
Tuesday- We had Elder Cook from the Seventy come! He had 17 of his grandkids come and we sang Called to Serve to them! He told us to help inspire the generations to come to serve missions. Let me tell you this- I have only been out here for 7 weeks, but I know that this expericne is going to be the best thing for my life. That my mission is going to bless me everyday now and into the eternities. I have already seen it change me. I've seen it change the Elders around me. GOD know what he is doing! And we need to help Him gather our siblings(:
Anyway! sorry I keep preaching... not preaching but I get so excited about all of this! IT make my heart buzz! I love it!! and I can't wait to fly out!!
FUN FACTS-
They put us all under quarantine! We can't touch each other or fist pumps or handshakes! A sister in our zone got quaranitined! she has the flu and was "put away" ! awww!
I sprained my ankle today! hahaha, but I'm totally good! It hurt really bad at first, and a little rn, but I'm totally fine. Ice and iburpofen@ Morgan!! ;)
We get our flight plans in 8 days! Mozemo!! (we can)!! So excited!
Also happy daylights savings to you all;) what a blessed day.
Thanks for all the emails and love! I love it here! It's great! Enjoy your day!!
