"Hey all!! How is little Livvie Meg???? Thats her name right??? She is a cutie and she looks like ALLI!! HAHA... Awwww I am so happy that she is finally here.. Send me lots of pics ok? How was Fathers day? It sounds like everyone is super busy this summertime. That is good news. It has been a great but really hard hard week. Probably the hardest yet of the mission.. But I am loving every minute of being a missionary. It is the best job. This week has been very crazy that is for sure. The news that we
were staying for an extra 2 weeks really hit hard for a lot of missionaries in my district. Sister Barton started packing her bags... again... and guess who had to go talk to her?? yep me.. but this time I was really bold and I like really gave her the 411... She actually was just yelling at me so I told her all this stuff about why she should stay and she stayed.. She told me that I am her best friend because I can tell her how it is.. haha.. whatever.. I also have a nother sister in my district who is depressed. On tuesday we had to make her go to the doctor and get some meds because she
never sleeps.. So one day she just didn't get out of bed.. but the next day she was fine.. She also never eats either.. I pray for her a lot.. I really just study all day long wit my district... We only have real class like 2 hours a day and the rest of the days it is up to us. So I decided to read the book of Mormon and I'm gonna be finished by the time I leave for TN.. OH by the way I leave JUNE 15th.. So I will probably be calling around like 5 AM.. haha...
Yesterday was Fast and testimony meeting and I was the only sister that bore my testimony.. but it was like so amazing feeling.. I actually felt like I was speaking with conviction and from the heart. It was AMAZING.. I really felt the spirit overcome me and I was able to just spill out all these words.. HOW AMAZING!!!! It was incredible... This week I will be reading all of preach my gospel and the B of M.. and just get ready for TN!! I am so trunky its not even funny.. It is really packed here at the mtc too.. like SOOOO many missionaries left and right... you can only imagine the bodily functions comin out.. HAHA... I am just so happy to be a missionary and I think that I am finally getting comfortable with the Idea.. I LOVE teaching.. Yesterday I went on an exchange w sister barton cuz her comp was in (bed).. and we taught this actor guy named bobby........ we committed him to read the b of M... and he LOVED US SISTERS... he wanted us to come back too.. like it was so amazing.. I loveteaching the gospeL.. Do they let sisters go on 2 year missions???? HAHA...
Maybe i'll try and convince my president cuz I am just getting started...
haha..
Well I love you all so much and I am working the hardest I've ever worked in my life.. My teacher told my class that if your desire to serve the lord goes down to study the atonement and it will go back up.. I testify that is TRUE!!! My desire is soaring through the rooof.. I am definitely having a countdown until I leave the MTC.... Luv u all!!"
