Week 1: Official Update :)

Hello Friends!

Week 1 of the MTC has been amazing! I've already learned so much! It's really amazing what we can do when we put our minds to it :)

I have 14 missionaries in my district (including me) which I heard was a lot, but I don't really know since it's the only district I've had XD   My companion is Sister Eves and she's fantastic! We started doing companion study together on the first day and then we found out that we didn't have to start until the third day. I guess we're just overachievers (haha). There's another Sister missionary companionship in our district (one is going to Louisiana which is cool) and the rest is Elders, two of which are going to Spokane, Washington, which is kinda close to Seattle 🤔 Another Elder is from Herriman, so that's kinda fun.

Some of my favorite quotes this week are:

--(From a workshop) "David saw himself as a shepherd, but the Lord saw him as a king. Joseph of Egypt served as a slave, but the Lord saw him as a seer. Mormon wore the armor of a soldier, but the Lord saw him as a prophet" -Joseph B Wirthlin

 -- It just goes to show that the Lord will always see the best in us and if we allow Him to, he will make us better than we could ever think would be possible.

-- "He didn't call you to make you a disciple, He called you because you are a disciple" -workshop teacher

-- (from President Nelson's Message of Hope) "Counting our blessings is far better than recounting our problems" -President Nelson (crazy, right? That it was from President Nelson's message of hope and it was his quote too)

-- 🎵"All I want for Christmas is youuuuuuuuu baaaabbby Jesus"🎵 -Mom


Fun Fact: One of my MTC teachers' favorite colors is brown


P.S. When I opened gospel library and was marking things on my first day I found out that apparently my old phone didn't sync, like at all, for most of my tags, so right now I only have like 100 tags total. Which SUCKS. So if everyone could please send me a list of their favorite scriptures or spiritual thoughts or quotes, I would absolutely love that! :)

P.P.S. Fun Fact: I have a goal to fill my wall in my office with quotes and scriptures (see attached image for reference) by the end of my MTC stay (I might even be able to do it a couple times, we'll see)

P.S.P.S. If you know anyone who is missing out on my emails feel free to forward my emails to them or shoot me their email so I can add them to the list :)

Goal: to fill this wall with great verses and quotes
My chair finally came! No more stool.

Happy Easter :)) Update for this week: A lot of fun stuff happened this week! On Wednesday we were at the church waiting for Teresa and her family because we had a lesson set up, but they ended up being late... so one of the counselors in the Bishopric recruited us to talk to the 14-15 yo boys about missionary work   it was awesome, and they had really good questions! Missionary work is a good time :) On Thursday, we took a member of the Samoan ward tracting with us because she's in the MTC! It was super fun, and she gave us a ton of tips for finding Polynesian people  Friday was Zone Conference and it was AMAZING. I learned a lot, especially from the discussion we had about General Conference. I LOVE Elder Uchtdorf's talk, President Nelson's talk, Elder Eyring's talk, and Elder Klebingöt's talk. It was super amazing because it helped me learn how to be a better disciple of Jesus Christ. What's something you all learned from General Conference? I also had to bea...

Finn Hill is awesome and also odd XD Update for this week: Holy cow I LOVE my new companions!!!! They are both so cool and such good missionaries :) Sister Misi is an AMAZING teacher and so good at asking questions and also very artistic. Sister Beckstead is such a good example and is just so sweet and I'm sad she's gonna leave to her original assignment on the 21st because this trio life is just the best ever :( but she will do amazing things in Brazil too! This week we've been SUPER busy, I've been getting to know members and learning names and stuff, and we've had some lessons, tried to find people to teach, and also met a member who has a sword collection, and also antique/replica firearms, and bows and arrows (longbow and a recurve, none of them modern). I held one of his swords  Scripture of the week: 2 Nephi 2:28 "And now... I would that ye should look to the great Mediator, and hearken unto his great commandments; and be faithful unto his words, and cho...
