The One where Elder Boss and Elder White were devastated with Barbara

 

Today is my last day at the MTC! I can't believe that tomorrow I leave for Kansas! I feel like I just got here and I'm already leaving! This week has been such a good one. So many spiritual moments and so many good devotionals by the MTC presidency. I love being here. But I am ready to go to Kansas.

Temple Day with district

I posted on Facebook something that happened to my district this week but I am going to share it on my email for those who don't have facebook. 

Mom & Dad sent Crumbl cookies to the district.  LOVED them!

My district and I were going to the exercise field to play some four square. Our district loves this game and there is a court that is close to the temple. We were walking when we saw a group of men that were standing by the stoplight. We were told by other missionaries that had just come from that direction that they just wanted to bible bash us and they had no intentions of wanting to know more about the Church of Jesus Christ. As we crossed the street, I felt the Spirit leave me. The Spirit could not dwell because of what these men were trying to teach us. We just walked past them and didn't speak to them. This experience made me realize that the Spirit is always with me. Sometimes I just don't recognize that it is there. This will not be the last time something like this happens. But it was a testimony builder to me and the rest of my district.

Now I am going to tell you more about my wonderful companion Sister Marlatt! She is from Terrebonne Oregon. She is the oldest in her family and is the first one to go on a mission!! She loves Pepsi and a lot of other sodas (just like me!!). She loves the smell of Coconut! And she is my best friend! I could not have gotten through the MTC without her. She was an answer to a prayer that I had when I opened my mission papers. 

I hope everyone has a great week! I'll be in Kansas when you hear from me next!!

Ps: The title for this email was a role play that I did with two Elders from my district (Elder Boss and Elder White). I was a friend who didn't follow up on a promise and they had to pretend to be devastated. It was really funny at that moment.
