Miracles! I FOUND MINI WHEAT'S IN THE CAFETERIA!!!!!!!
This
is possibly the best thing ever! I have been eating cereal 1-2 meals a
day! haha, after being at the MTC for 10 weeks I can officially say I am
sick of the food. It's not that it's bad, just eating the same thing
over and over again gets boring. ( Unless it's cereal :P)
I've have some amazing experiences this week, but to save time it
suffices me to quote my beautiful teacher Sister Wasworth " It's just
not fair how much we get blessed for the things we do!" - It's true,
Heavenly Father blesses us way above and beyond any sacrifice we have to
make. I see it everyday!
Speaking of sacrifices... so turns out giving up English was really
hard haha. I did it successfully for about 3-4 days last week, But hey!
Thats better than the week before. I decided to re-vamp my goals to
make sure they are realistic and achievable otherwise I get too
discouraged with my progress. I am still trying to give up English all
the time, but if I need to speak for some reason and can't think of the
word in Korea, I am allowed to say it. ( I think that will make
communicating alot easier!)
I don't know if it's new at home as much as it is in
the MTC, but just incase you haven't heard, CHINA IS OPENING!!!!! There
have been alot of mission calls that say they will be serving in Taiwan
learning Chinese, and then in a few months will be transferring to
China. Another Elder in my zone found out that his friend's mission call
did have a mission addressed to it. only a phone number. So she called
the number, and President Monson answered, and told her that she is
going to be serving in China!!!!! How sweet is that?!!!!! Miracles are
happening, things are moving, THIS IS SO AWESOME! ( I found out a few
weeks ago, but I wasn't sure if it was supposed to be public news, but
everyday we are hearing more and more mission calls to China, so I
figure its safe to say that its happening!)
Other news, my back has been hurting quite a bit lately
so last week I started going to a Chiropractor. It's been feeling alot
better since then. I only have 2 weeks left in the MTC!!!! IT seems
unreal that I am leaving so soon, ( Especially because I still cannot
speak the language!) But I am so excited to get out there and start
talking to people. When ever we get to leave the MTC for my
appointments, we always get to talk to so many people and I just love
it!
In the spirit of American Thanksgiving this week I
started a gratitude journal! I made it a goal to write 2-3 things I am
grateful for each morning and night before I say my prayers. It's been
helping alot with my attitude towards this experience, and helps me stay
positive and happy on the rough days. The MTC completely shuts down for
Thanksgiving! We get to hear from an apostle and do this gigantic
service project! Plus a huge Thanksgiving dinner! Should be good :)
There is no place in the world I would rather be!
Everyday I am learning so much, and my Faith in my Savior grows more and
more each day. I've only been gone for 2 months officially, but I've
already notices huge changes in myself. I hope that as I learn and
strive to be an instrument in Gods hands I will beable to help him reach
out to people that are in need of his love. I've already been able to
see the miracles that come from missionary service just within the MTC.
My teacher Brother Pendly told me another analogy
yesterday. He said that we are like a hammer. and God is using us
inorder to build his Kingdom. We must never forget whos hands we are in,
when things get difficult. Being a hammer sometimes its hard to see the
whole picture, because you are constantly pounding nails into a board.
It's not always comfortable, and ever hurts quite a bit. But we were
built to accomplish a certian task, and the way we were designed allows
us to withstand the heavy blows, and beable to create magnificent
things. I know that God is using me to accomplish his work, and I trust
he knows what he's doing better than I do :)
I love you all so much!
