That's right! I have been in the MTC for a whole month now! Time is flying by soo fast! I feel like I am running to keep up with time, and I also feel like that Spanish is leaving me behind as well, until I remember that the only important thing is that I am learning more Spanish everyday, even if it is just a little bit more. Anyway this week has flown by like crazy! I'm trying to remember what happened this past week, oh we got a new district in our zone last week, and the sisters in the district are our roommates! And our zone leader's district just left on Monday so we are on to our 3rd set of zone leaders and we have been promoted to the 2nd oldest district in the Zone! Also on Saturday night one of our teachers Hermana Harrison, showed us a recording of a talk that Elder Holland gave at the MTC years ago that really has and will change my entire mission! I don't even know how to explain it. I was really sad when I heard that only the MTC has access to this talk, because I wanted to study it more, luckily I took good notes. Here are a FEW things he said. He said that all we have to do as missionaries is be our best selves not the best! He talked about how missions are the most important thing you will ever do, and that we should not come home early ever!! Because we will regret it and there is nothing worse than living with regret! The part that really got to me is he said many of you will ask at some point why is a mission so hard? I'm being obedient, I'm teaching the truth, why is it so hard? He answered that it was because salvation was not a cheap experience. It was not meant to be easy nor will it ever be easy. It wasn't easy for the savior, nor will it be easy for us. We won't even experience a fraction of what the lord went through for us. Anyway it was really amazing! It made me think who am I to say that waking up at 6:30 is hard or that learning a language is hard, I did not go through the atonement! And my attitude has sky rocketed since then! Anyway so that was the exciting thing, oh and last night for our devotional Elder Costa from the presidency of the 70 came to speak to us, it was awesome! He taught about the spirit and how he was baptized 2 days after his first missionary discussion! It was great! Oh also it's the MTC's 50th anniversary and so you might see us in the news or something because ever since we've gotten here there's been camera people like crazy! Well time's almost up! The gospel is true! Jesus Christ did atone for us, and I love you all!!!
Love, Hermana Love
