NI HAO!
Well it almost feels unreal that this is just a
place we prepare to serve. The days feel like weeks and the weeks are
starting to feel like days so I am happy about that! Although I really
just cannot remember what I do each day!
This week was about
the same as last week, but I am getting much closer with the girls in my zone
and the elders in my district which is super nice because they become like your
family.
Food has not gotten
any better, but I think I am getting used to it which I don’t know if that is a
blessing or a curse. I feel like it always just sits in my belly, but
don't get me wrong I am grateful that I am fed and that the church has means to
provide for all the missionaries here! I am trying to not eat any sweets
or drink soda this week. Wish me luck, but I probably won't last 3 days
haha.
We now have two
investigators to teach, which are actually just our teachers, but for some
reason that makes me so much more nervous!
So during PCL time
(Personal, Companion or Language Study) we were trying to study and one of the
elders in my district got a package from his mom and in it was a racquetball.
So two elders I swear can never focus so they throw it around a lot which
doesn't bother me. But we were all talking and Elder Meyers was like,
"I always feel bad when I hurt a girl and it is not on purpose.. like they
always say it's okay but that makes me feel guilty and I just want them to slap
me." And then maybe like a minute later we were playing catch and
Elder Meyers literally throws the ball at my face faster than I thought so I didn’t
catch it and it hit me right on the cheek bone. Luckily, it didn't hurt
and I actually thought it was funny so I was like whatever and it didn't bruise
so no harm done. They are all literally the brothers I never wanted
hahaha just kidding I love them!
Now for the spiritual
thought:
There was a big
emphasis placed this week on baptism and why baptism is so important. One
of the things I like most is that baptism is a physical expression, but the
REAL treat is receiving the gift of the Holy Ghost. How amazing is it
that when we enter into a covenant with God we are given the gift of having a
member of the Godhead with us at all times! Our choir director said to us
"The Holy Ghost is worth any sacrifice to have". I have learned
after hearing so many amazing stories that it is so important to listen to
those small simple promptings no matter what because you never know how
important they could be.
I cannot wait for
conference this week! What a blessing it is to have a living prophet on
the Earth who literally receives revelation from God to direct this
church. And to hear from all the apostles and Seventy and everyone who is
called of God! Look out for the MTC choir Saturday afternoon
session, unfortunately they decided they didn't want Beyoncé (me) to sing in it
because people would just look at me the whole time haha you win some and lose
some ;)
Hope everyone's weeks
went well! I am so grateful for all the love and support you send my way!
Wo ai Nimen!
