Week 2: The Adventures of Missing Socks ๐Ÿค”

Hey All!!

It's been a fantastic week here at the MTC in Fruit Heights, very busy and lots of spiritual experiences. :)

My companion, Sister Eves, and I taught our first 3 lessons this week and it was very exciting. I can definitely improve, but overall I think it went pretty well. ๐Ÿ˜Ž

Also we had to watch 2 devotionals this week instead of 1 because of Thanksgiving, but I totally forgot about the Thanksgiving devotional so I watched it yesterday instead of on Thursday! XD

This week we learned a lot about teaching to people's needs and we "graduated" from teaching the first lesson in Preach my Gospel! (which doesn't really happen, but we're moving on anyways lol). We also got a lot of scriptures and stuff in class to use for different resources, so my wall is filling up pretty well! I'm also getting some more tags in gospel library so that's good too.

Spiritual thought: revelation recorded is revelation kept

- If you give all you can to the Lord, He will return more than you can receive. Obedience to Him and His commandments can and will always bring the miracles and blessings to your life that you need (not necessarily that you want, but God will always address your needs).

- "A scripture verse is worth a thousand feelings" -Sister Hillam (MTC teacher)

-"All that God expects of us is that we try, but we have to really try" -Hinckley

Funny Things:

- At this point, you're probably wondering about the title, and the reason is that I am missing a sock and I have no idea where it is. So my solution for why it's missing is that it is having an adventure and then I will find it somewhere and be like "oh there it is" and I'll have to wash it again because it will be all dirty and I will never know where it went.

- This week we were practicing the teaching skill of yielding to your companion, so we had to teach the Plan of Salvation lesson and whenever the teacher said to switch we had to switch immediately even if we were in the middle of a sentence. Some of my favorite "switch" jokes are "harry caught the golden SWITCH" (Brother Astle- MTC teacher) and "Nintendo switch" (-Elder Anderson) XD

Fun Fact: If you give my niece sweet potatoes she will not like it.

P.S. We had a combined lesson with another district and the other teacher, lo and behold, was JON DeALBA (for those who don't know he's an old friend of my older siblings, apparently our families used to carpool but I don't remember that lol)!!!

P.P.S I was in a workshop having a good spiritual time when in the chat all of a sudden there's an Elder Stowell! So I asked him in the chat if he was related to a Julia Stowell who I knew up at USU, and he says no. BUT THEN another missionary says "Sister Hale? BECCA??" and I was like "TAWNI???" And so fun story, Tawni (Sister George) and I were in the SAME WORKSHOP and if I had never asked about that one missionary's relations, I would never have known! So after that I guessed her email and I was right and I'm so proud of myself. ๐Ÿ˜Ž๐Ÿ˜‚ 

P.S.P.S. I don't really like taking pictures... So I don't have a lot.... But here are some for all you who really want pictures.

P.P.P.S.S. If you want to read the adventure I made up for my sock let me know and I can send it to you.

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 Klebingรถt'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...
