So I was dropped off at the MTC on Tuesday and got all my stuff and went to class. We've learned SO much about teaching and feeling the spirit in a lesson and being in tune with the spirit and getting to know the investigator. My teachers are amazing and so helpful. And I've already taught 3 "investigators" (really actors but it feels like they're not acting. :)) I am in a threesome companionship with Sister Robinson and Sister Willis. They're both going to WV with me. They teach me and help me to improve everyday and I'm so glad for that. I've learned though that being in a threesome is sometimes better than a couple and sometimes worse. :P When we're planning lessons we all have so many ideas on what to teach and how to teach and we sometimes have a problem organizing our thoughts. But we're doing much better now than we did on the first day thank goodness. :) I have another companionship of sisters in my district who are going to Arkansas and are so sweet. They are two peas in a pod and are very hard working. Then we have 3 companionships of Elders in our district which consist of almost every personality. They all love the gospel and have such great insight so I love our district discussions and classes. One of the Elders was a sophomore in Lehi High when I was a senior there so we thought that was funny, and another Elder is Elder Miller so we have two Miller's in our district.
I've officially adjusted to the schedule but not to how fast I need to walk to get places. My companions are very fast walkers (especially when we're going to lunch. :P)
Ok, and I went to the choir thing here because my sister said to go to the choir thing so I went to the choir thing. Guys. It was amazing. I couldn't even believe how wonderful the director was at helping us become unified in the song and be better singers and he brought the spirit and had such great stories and gave us a little lesson and oh my goodness he wrote the music we're singing and it is so powerful. The spirit was so strong. We're singing Precious Savior Dear Redeemer but to a different arrangement. Best thing ever. We're singing it for the devotional on Tuesday and a general authority will be speaking! Woot! So excited.
Also went to the temple today!!!!!!! After going at least once a week for two months I was seriously deprived. I don't know how I'm gonna last 17 and a half months in WV without going. And I when we went outside to walk to the temple it felt so good. Kind of sad that it felt good to get out of the MTC. :P But I love it here and am learning and growing so much. On Sunday we had sooo many spiritual thoughts and lessons and I wrote so much down it was insane.
I can't believe it hasn't even been a week yet. And so much has happened!
And I probably left a few things out but I don't remember. The important thing is they're in my journal so yay! Totally read it when I get back. :P
I hope you've all had a great week and I'll write you again next week!!!
