What I've Learned At The MTC

Hey fam!

It is always so good to hear from you! So I'm just sending out one email to everyone. Sorry I can't write everyone individually. Thanks for the packages. My district LOVES them. I told the district that when we all get back they can come to our house for dinner. They're all really excited.

So I thought that I would just do a quick run through of what I've learned here at the MTC since I'm leaving tomorrow.

1. To trust in the Lord always. I always remember that scripture "be still and know that I am God." This is one of my motto's. I know that there is a reason for everything. There is a reason I'm in my companionship, district, and branch. I know that with the Lord I can do ALL things. I have absolutely zero doubt in this. I have confidence in the Lord.

2. To love everyone no matter the circumstances. Serving the Lord has taught me to really love. I think it is because He loves completely. I've learned to love everyone. Its funny, when I meet somone (ps we got 3 new hermanas this week) I feel such a great love for them, who they are, and what they can become. It is amazing and such a great blessing.

3. The importance of obedience. I always knew that obedience was important but I have such a testimony in it. When I am completely obedient the Lord is with me and I certainly need it always. I want to be the most obedient missionary. Rules aren't restricting, rather, they are are liberating.

4. The beauty of the atonement. It covers every single person. Through the atonement we can all feel peace, clean, love, strength, etc. I always knew this but it has become more clear and amazing.

5. Regardless of circumstances we can choose to be happy no matter what! Happiness is a choice.

So yeah, those are just a few of the things I've learned. I'm so excited to talk to you all tomorrow. I'm not quite sure what time I'll call. It will be sometime between 6:30-8:30 but I really have no idea. Sorry. I'm also calling Reed first so it probably be closer to 7:30 or 8. Thanks for all of the news going on. That is sad about that shooting. Also, I'm really excited Loni is moving to Tucson. Hopefully I'll see her sometime. Well, I love you all. Have a great day!

Love,
