This week has been such an exciting last week! On Tuesday, Elder Christofferson was here for devotional! He talked about the Book of Mormon. His talk was so simple, but still so powerful; no matter how many times we read the Book of Mormon in our lifetimes, God will always give us a confirmation that it is true, and it plays an essential part in our conversion and will be a constant companion for us throughout our lives. As I've spent more time studying the scriptures here in the MTC, I've been able to feel God's love He has for His children, and to realize what an amazing gift the scriptures are to us. I've noticed that here in the MTC, during General Conference, etc., that's there has been a BIG emphasis on the Book of Mormon, and I want to continue that strong emphasis of it on my mission. I love the Book of Mormon so much; if you haven't already, I encourage you all to read it, study it's pages, and to pray to know if it is true. I 100% guarantee you will!!!

Other than Elder Christofferson, the new MTC buildings, T3 and T4, were dedicated yesterday, so President Eyring and Elder Oaks were here as well! It was so cool to hear in the dedicatory prayer how we were promising to Heavenly Father that everything we do in these buildings is for HIM and for the purpose of spreading His gospel, and that we asked for help on how to best prepare ourselves to do that. I love missionary work so so so much and I'm so happy that at this time in my life, I have the amazing opportunity to be one! also me and my district were watching the dedication on a screen in the other room, and as soon as it ended we ran out of the room to try and spot the apostles, but they were sneaky and left out of the parking garage
chistes for this week:
- on Sunday we had testimony meeting and after a few missionaries bore their testimonies in Spanish, the branch president stood up and told us we were supposed to bare our testimonies in our "native language", and after he said that this cute little elder from the Phillipines stood up and bore his testimony in Tagalog; i wish you guys could have seen the ranch president's face lol
- I literally see my dear friend Soeur Turner every day and we still haven't taken a picture yet so if in my email next week there is a picture of us just know that i have failed as a person
- i was pretending to be an investigator in class and we were talking about the word of wisdom, and I really wanted to say marijuana, but didn't know how, so I just said " la lechuga de diablo" (the devil's lettuce). Turns out it's the same word, who knew
- Last night me and the other hermanas had a fiesta and ate muchos snacks and ironically watched a lot of those old seminary videos from the 80s and 90s; if you guys want a good laugh go and watch them
Very blurry photo of us at the temple
That's about it for this week! I hope you guys all have a good week this week! I love the MTC and I love being a missionary!
