Week 2 MTC

Image
Week 2:   My favorite scripture this week!!!   1Nephi 17:13  13 And I will also be your  a light  in the wilderness; and I will prepare the way before you, if it so be that ye shall keep my commandments; wherefore, inasmuch as ye shall keep my commandments ye shall be led towards the  b promised  land; and ye shall  c know  that it is by me that ye are led. Each companionship has been assigned an investigator, ours is Oleg, he works really hard to try and stump us! He is slowly  progressing, we found the sweet spot, as soon as we hit on families he opened right up!   We told him to pray for help on his questions and  that he will receive an answer. I am so excited and pray for him to get his  answer!   It was a great experience and  now he is not trying to stump us, but learn from us! He has a wife and daughter, who are  from Russia. Oleg has a crazy cool accent and i love him because...

I love it so much here!!!! It is seriously the best thing I have ever done. There is so much to tell you but I can't type fast on this Ipad Mini they gave us!!! There is not a second in the day that I do not feel the spirit so strongly. Right now Mom,  I am doing laundry for the first time in my life and it is a lot easier then I thought, haha. Yesterday I had an experience that I will never forget. The first day we where given a paper, it did not look that important and my comp Elder Kaas had one so I thought, "ah I don't need this" and I threw it away. Turns out that the next day our zone leader said we have to have that exact paper in order to go to Australia 😬. Yeah,  I was scared to death!  I felt the need to pray right then and there in the middle of class silently to myself.   I felt super calm after my prayer and I didn't know really why. We got back to the flat, and I looked in the same cubby that I had looked in like 409009 times before and guess...

Called to Serve

Mission call....  I was waiting at the post office daily in anticipation of my mission call, literally, my buddy and I would go there each morning first thing to see if our calls arrived!   I was so excited for this next step in my life and looked forward to serving the Lord.  I fully anticipated going stateside, but knew once I read my call that Sydney Australia was where I was supposed to serve.   I am grateful for the opportunity to serve the Lord and represent my Savior in this work.  Columbia River Temple, Richland Wa.
