The Music Room

Hello everyone!! It's been so great to be here at the mtc. I love it so much. The spirit is strong here. My district is awesome and we have become super close. Our elders are hilarious! They are like brothers and the sisters in my district are like sisters! I love then all! The last week has been pretty busy. We have taught a new investigator named karisa. She is super sweet and the first lesson we had with her was so spiritual. My companion sister bull and I were so amazed at how strong the spirit was there. I have really made it a goal to be a miracle worker. Meaning doing what the Lord would have me do. One of our ecclesiastical leaders randomly showed up and brought us to a room. Just my district. He gave one of the most powerful messages. It was based off of Samuel the lamanite. If you aren't familiar with his story then get familiar with it. A summary of it is Samuel was not a prophet he was a missionary like me. He was preaching to the people and they beat him and banished him from the city. Many would have gladly walked away from that. But Samuel prayed and the holy ghost told him to go back! I'm sure he was apprehensive. But he obeyed and on the wall of the city he declared the word of God and cried for the people to repent. The holy ghost helped him proclaim with power and authority. He had courage and was bold. No arrows or stones could hit him as he bore testimony. How amazing is that? The spirit is my weapon out here. He is by my side and I know I could do nothing without him. He is my life line to my heavenly father. 

Also the food here is getting old. Haha but I love their lentil soup! I eat 2 big bowls ! They have desert every lunch and dinner so I have to be careful. The funniest thing is seeing the elders eat serial for breakfast lunch and dinner. Hahaha it's hilarious! One of the elders eats so much. One time he stacked a good 6 plates in his tray and 3 bowls of food. He's the skinniest guy and eats 2 times more that the biggest elder in our district! Haha it's pretty impressive her hadn't gained weight! Anyways, always good talking to all of you! Email me please! It's good to hear from you all!

Also I titled my email the music room because we found a place in our building that plays music and it's so peaceful. We had book of Mormon study with our whole district the spirit was so intense! It's a blessing to have found the music because it really helps the missionaries relax and feel peace when things get busy and your worn out! Also I have seen Hermana barthlome a ton! How blessed is that!
