Week 4



 Hello everyone!


I am doing great here at the MTC!  I have learn loads of stuff and feel the Holy Ghost daily.  I see people from springville all the time and it makes me feel at home.  I have also met lots of knew friends and I feel like I am home.  I love the people and our teachers and pretty much everything about the MTC!  Me and Äldste Thomas wrote a song to remember the points  of the second lesson.  Don't have a video but it was awesome!

In our class we were doing "Mormon Bok " which is Book of Mormon read and we read Moroni 10.  After we were sharing our thoughts and Sister locher said something that really hit me.  In choir Brother Egget( don't know how to spell his name) said that you teach your lessons with the most important thing at the start and the second most important thing at the end.  In Moroni 10:34 it talks about returning to God and living in paradise.  Then I turned to 1 Nephi 1:1 and that one talked about family and having your family structured in faith in the gospel.  And that really hit me because those are the two most important things that we must accomplish in this life.  I love my family and how we can live with our families forever! 

Love all your emails and your prayers

miss you all

  Hello everyone! (8/22/2019) What an amazing week it has been.  I have had a lot of good experiences!  We have been learning the language constantly for the past week and I don't think it is going to change any time soon.  It is crazy how much you feel the spirit here.  I have felt his love for me every day that I have been here. I love my companions, because I got lucky and have 2, and I love my district!  Our district is a lot bigger then I thought it would be. We have 15 Elders and 1 Sister.  We have an Elder from Finland, New Zealand, and a Sister from Switzerland. I have had a good time and love being here.   Message of the week comes from 2 Nephi 9:45 "O, my beloved brethren, turn away from your sins; shake off the achains of him that would bind you fast; come unto that God who is the brock of your salvation." I read this and realized that as we come toward God, He will bless us and help us throught hard times. Love you and miss y...

  Hello friends and family, this week has gone by so fast and I feel like time is speeding up, which I don't want to happen but it's doing it anyway! This week was full of adventures! To start of, we went to a reptile place with some inactive members and that was so cool, one of them was really smart and knew a lot and had a little fun fact about almost all the reptile there! He also invited us over to see his snake, which I really want to see because I love holding snakes. We have had a few lessons this week and I have been able to understand a lot more everyday and I am able to add what I want to say without feeling like I am taking away from the lesson. We have done so many role plays and they are paying off with some cool results of me knowing Swedish! I was able to go on splits this week with Äldste Walker and that was really cool! We had a member meal that was so good. It was some sort of lamb patties that had some sauce on it that was very good. But before that we were ...

  Monday: We decided to make some cookies and give them to some of the people that we were teaching and that was super cool to see their faces light up and be able to show them our love for them! We then had an FHE lesson with a member and we watched one of the talks from the Christmas devotional and it was really good and a great reminder of how we can always be improving and trying our best to be more like the Savior! Tuesday: Twas the night before Christmas and all through the house not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse... lies!! There was a lot of stirring because this is when the swedish people all celebrate Christmas and open presents! We spent the night with the Branch President and his family and that was so fun! We watched Kalle Anka and then had some really good food! We then started singing all of these songs and it was sooooooo cool! We would just start singing a song that then we had all these instruments that would just start playing and you felt like the lead...
