This last Sunday I had the
privilege of singing in the MTC choir, and Elder Nelson came and talked to
us! It was such a spiritual experience, I can't believe how blessed I am to be
here. I have been so happy here, and although I miss being with you,
I'm not sad at all. Actually I couldn't be more excited! We have been
practicing teaching in Spanish, and we had a baptism commitment from
our first investigator! Well he was one of our teachers, but he acted like one
of the investigators he had on his mission, and only two of the
5 groups were able to figure out his needs so that we could help him
accept the gospel. I know that I could not have helped him without the spirit.
It has been such a humbling experience, but now I know that I can do
this. I can speak the language, I can teach others about the gospel. There
is nothing to be afraid of, because I am on the Lord's errand.
Yesterday my new companion, Hermana Taputuarai found out that she is
leaving for the field next Wednesday! She wasn't supposed to be going until the
19th of June, like me, but I know that she is ready. She is so amazing I'm
going to miss her :'(. I will have had 4 companions in 2 weeks when I get
a new one. I think that this is a blessing though, because I have a bad
habit of letting people take charge, but now, with my experiences
already, I know how to do my part during teaching. I need to
depend on my knowledge and the spirit as well as my companion. I can't
wait to go the SLC!! I just want to be the best missionary I can be, and I know that that means
forgetting Emily Lisonbee, and focusing on how I can help others see Christ
through me. I just want to help bring others to the joy I feel from the gospel,
and the knowledge that I have. That I have a Heavenly Father who loves me. That
my savior did everything for me. I'm so blessed.
