Second Letter Home! YAY

Hey guys crazy week so sorry its up late but her third letter will be coming soon! But here is her second letter:)

Kumusta pamilya at friends!

This week has been 10x better and I feel a lot more adjusted. It takes some time to adjust to the craziness of the MTC and all the scheduled times but I really love it here.

My kasama Sister Simonson (companion) and I are doing well and we have taught so many lessons I have lost track. We have had some good and bad. Right after I wrote the first time we had the most awkward lesson. We were teaching about Joseph Smith and the First Vision and we had him read the account and we didn't realize in the section we had him read that it didn’t explain that it was God the Father speaking and Christ, but we didn't understand that he didn't know who we were talking about so there was very long awkward silences so we had him write down his questions so we could answer next time. Haha! Good thing he is not a real investigator, but nonetheless it was so scary and embarrassing. But we came back the next day and the lesson went a lot smoother and it felt great.

I have learned so much about what it means to be a missionary and really am so happy to be here. I feel like every time I read my scriptures, certain verses stand out to me and I never realized how many scriptures talk about or involve missionary work! It is so great!

I am singing in the choir tonight for the devotional. I am not sure if they are broadcasted on BYUtv but I am excited. Thennnnn... (: I am singing on Sunday in the choir for Easter and we have been told that someone in the First Presidency will be coming to speak to us! I am SOOOOOO excited and know I will burst into tears while singing, probably choke up and not be able to sing a word, but I am looking forward to it. So I am not sure if we are singing in conference, but I think they would have let us know by now! Sad day! I went to the temple and it was so great this week and we went this morning again! Maybe soooo tired! haha but it is so worth it (:

So I I pretty much LOVE my district! There is Sister Simonson (my comp), Elder Hausia (from California and is hilarious!), Elder Sorensen (from Idaho Falls and is the sweetest elder), Sister Adkins (from Spokane woot woot and so helpful with Tagalog), Sister Longson (from Cache Valley.. and her name is Karly! just without an e.. aka she is so hilarious too and makes me think of Kar), Sister Harroff (from texas and was baptized a little over a year ago and has such a strong testimony) and then there is Sister Siola'a (she is from Tonga and literally the funniest girl... and also such an inspiration to me.. she is going to be an amazing missionary). Yesterday her and I were playing volleyball in gym and she hit the ball and was going to run into the net and was stopping herself but rolled her ankle. She sprained it pretty bad! I totally flashed back to when Kar broke her leg and I was the one saying "take deep breathes... everyone back away and someone go get someone"... I have been helping her and wrapping and icing it so it should be good in no time (especially since I gave her some of the 800mg Ibprofeun grandma and grandpa bought us). It should heal way before we leave so I am glad it happened before it was too close.

The sisters in my room (which is all 6 of us sisters) in my district referred to me as Mom haha and especially after yesterday when my motherly nurse instincts kicked in and I am helping Sister Siola'a, I think they name has stuck.

I have loved all the Dearelder.com letters that people have sent! It is the BEST thing to get mail and read them during the week. It honestly keeps me sane haha but keep them coming while I am at the MTC.

Can you believe I am going on my 3rd week here? So crazy!

We are the oldest missionaries in our zone now! The older group left yesterday and are almost to the Philippines as we speak. They were all going to different missions though!

Haha so funny thing.... I think I cry like at least once if not 3 times a day... in a good way! Haha I seriosuly have not gone one day since I have been here, not feeling the spirit so strongly or feeling so uplifted and happy and some point in the day! The Lord really is so happy with those serving Him and I feel so blessed to be here and able to be Hid hands here on the earth. I may not know or speak the best Tagalog, but I KNOW that through Him and with His help, if I am humble and pray, He will be there to make up for the rest and what I can’t do.

I have attached a bunch of photos.... hopefully it works! (: Time is running out but I love you so much! Miss you lots always!
