Well I arrived two days ago safely! I can tell you this...once I stepped of the plane there was an over whelming spirit that came over me. I knew this was my mission and this is where the Lord has placed me to do his work for a reason. The most amazing part? I have not had the spirit leave. The days have been filled with tracting and figuring out where everyone is going and placed with who. I was lucky because since I was the only sister that came in, I was assigned a companion and area the first night I was there. So I was able to tract in my area the first night! It has been an ongoing amazing experience that has been hard but so rewarding since I got here. I will be giving you a more of a detailed update on p-day.
I thought I prayed a lot in the MTC! Here it feels like every other two minutes we pray. Help! I am running out of things to pray about! haha I guess I will just have to start counting all my many blessings. There sure has been a lot of them these past three weeks! I was blessed with the most amzing companion ever! She is so sweet and kind to everyone and I am so excited to have her around to teach me because everyone I come across, tells me what a wonderful trainer she is. I am truly so excited to work with her! I feel like I am progressing, slowly, but at least I am progressing! Teaching the lessons comes easily to me because I have been taught these things my whole life and I know that they are true! What is hard for me is door approaches because it is hard for me to convince them of the importance and they all come up with so many incredible excusses! I will just have to learn tricky ways to tell them that they need it in their lives! I am so happy because I feel an automatic love for the people I come accross. Just one of the many ways our Heavenly Father blesses me! Thank you for you love and prayers! Prayers work just so you know! He answers every single one of them! I love you all! Talk to you next week!
Love your MISSIONARY!
