HAPPY VALENTINES DAY! I want you all to know that in celebration I am wearing my pink skirt.
Yesterday we got a new district with twelve people six of them being Hermanas! crazy. Also you’ll never guess who is in the district. Good old Matt King. I’m pretty excited about it, he is going to Lubbock Texas. The Hermanas seem pretty great, so I’m very excited to have them. Yesterday I did what is called “coaching” with one of my teachers. It was the first time I’ve done it since being in the MTC, and I wasn’t scheduled, but I just started asking him questions, because I had a few things I really needed to talk with someone about, outside of my companion. So we had a really uplifting “coaching session” and I think that I have gotten a few things figured out of what to do better with my companionship and teaching. I’m really looking forward to that. Then during comp study Hermana Williams and I set some good goals and had a nice heart to heart about improving. Then the best thing was because I was in meetings and different things all day I didn’t prepare anything for the TRC, but she did, so we practiced doing the TRC together a few times, and for the first time since getting to the MTC our lesson was almost equally split up. I was very excited about it.
Hermana Garcia (the one who had an anxiety attack) Has been praying to be sure if she needs to be here or home, which I think is just more stressful for her, because this is where she wants to be and felt like she needed to be. So if you could keep her and her needs in your prayers this upcoming week, we would really appreciate it.
To answer questions:
Acts of service for me this week… Hmm well I don’t know if this really counts, but I go on splits for Hermana Vance so she can be in class while Hermana Garcia is doing counseling and everything, because she isn’t feeling super confident with her Spanish, and I think she is getting super stressed out as well. Also I get the pride and joy of cutting out my one hr of personal prep time into about twenty or twenty five minutes so I can go visit all the sisters. I don’t know..
How many Scriptures on faith: well no I don’t know how many there are, probably lots and lots. But funny you should mention that because yesterday I got to put some new perspectives onto faith. In the Bible Dictionary it says in the definition about faith that it is a confidence in something or someone. To me it means if you aren’t having a confidence in yourself, it is also not having a confidence in Christ. Because it says that the way is prepared, he qualifies whom he calls and he will make weak things strong. Herrmana Williams and I are working on implementing faith into our next week a little more fully.
Have I gained or lost weight? definitely just been a gaining. I think I have gained probably five pounds… I know.. Crazy. I have never gained weight in my life! ha ha just kidding, sorta.
How am I digging the MTC food? well.. I don’t mind it, except when they have steak that’s all they serve, and I don’t even like steak. Sometimes it’s really good and sometimes it’s not. It also seems to give people gas. I think my appetite has been getting huge though. I used to eat all day just a little bit, but now I eat like massive amounts three times a day, which is probably where the added weight is from.
well.. I’m going to go eat now.
LOVE YOU!
