Week 2

Helloooooo

Week 2....still sooo great!! Everyone still has gas. But it's good. its breaks up the silence in class. :) I am still learning so much! I love the spirit here. Its amazing. I haven't missed my phone, facebook, tv, my music... its weird... but i'm sure all of that will change once i leave the MTC. I've been to the provo temple twice now..and I love it! So many things are starting to make sense. THE CHURCH IS TRUE!!!! :)

I've been sick the past few days.. missed some class. Its that dumb cold thing that I get at the start of every school year..ya know? ugh. i'm feeling MUCH better though. Lots of day/night quill! :)

We have this class called TRC where we teach "investigators" most of them are members who volunteer...but some are REAL investigators! this is their job! So we've been teaching this lady Hely Mesa. She is the cutest! I love her! Shes from Guatemala and we had the neatest experience with her. SHE'S REAL!! We read scriptures with her that applied directly to her and what she has been feeling.. and she broke down in tears and said THAT IS ME! My soul has been racked with torment! We invited to get down on her knees with us and pray about the feeling she was having. She only felt comfortable praying in spanish. My companion and I had no idea what she saying.. but the spirit was soo strong! and she was crying through the whole prayer! Then she began to say "wow wow. this is REAL? this is REAL! I have so much respect for you all and what you do. this is real!" then she would say.."we gotta quit talking! I'm starting to believe!!!!" haha shes so cute! It was soo neat. We are going to talk to her about the atonement this week..and invite her to prepare for baptism! I'm so excited. I know this just going to be a little glimpse of what I will experience out in the field.

ALSO! I don't know if i mentioned it.. but last sunday in relief society Pres Monson's daughter spoke to us all about him and his life. It was really neat to learn more about the prophet. My companion and I were asked to escort the New Mission Presidents and their wives around the MTC..and give them a tour!!! We're so excited!! We are doing that next week! They are also releasing the MTC president and Announcing a new one.. so next sunday we're expected to have the entire 12 here!!! Pres Monson!!! I'm so EXCITED!!!!
