I Can Do Hard Things!!!



ALRIGHT HAYY FAMILIA! 

So i went to the real world on saturday to get a check up for my ear ya know cause its been hurting. Anyways they had to call you mom to get my insurance and seriously right when they called you i heard you say hello and i stepped away and started crying!! Ahhh i hope you got my message that i told you i loved you and happy mothers day from the receptionist! So yes my ear has been botherng me, like kind of a weird pain but I'll tough it out. I got a blessing from Elde Beals and Elder Hullinger. 

 So for Mother's day relief society Janice Kapp Perry came!! She is the lady that wrote the songs "As Sisters In Zion, Im Trying To Be Like Jesus, I Love To See the Temple, Childs Prayer, and many more!" We watched a thing about moms, and of course everyone is just bawling seriously just dying. We got to sing her songs for her, and the spirit was so strong! She just wrote a new song called "THE Sisters Of Zion" she hasnt put it out yet, but she wanted us Sister missionaries to be the first to hear and SING it for her!! Seriously you can only imagine the spirit!!

 After that my companion had to go to some meeting, so i had to go on a spilt with the zone leaders for 4 HOURS!! It was kind of uncomfortable because everyone would look at me funny because it was just me and the 2 elder zone leaders. One of the heads of the mtc people assinged me that, it was actually a nice break! 

 I watched a very inspirational movie about Joseph Smith's life. I dont know where you get it but people say it is very common, it was the best church movie i had ever seen. I was crying like a baby through the whole thing! 

So here is the trial of the week! We had TRC which is where you teach members, they do it so you can practice. The first person we had to share a message with was a returned elder, and i was so nervous. I dont know why but i have a really hard time teaching elders. My nerves just shoot through the roof, and no not becasue they are cute. But we got in there and seriusly i lost it. I shut down i didnt speak at all, i was nervous. I left the meeting with tears in my eyes out of frustration, and i saw my teacher Sister Plowman whom i ABSOLUTELY ADORE. She is the greatest thing to ever enter my life in the MTC! I walked out and said i cant do this. It is too hard and i never feel the spirit. She said okay go teach the next one and we will talk after!  She said just go and pray to feel the spirit to help you. I prayed and went in there and it was a lady, which was immediately better, but i talked! She asked me why I came on  a mission, and I TALKED! I talked ALOT! Seriously the spirit was SO STRONG! I ended crying while bearing my testimony! I had to give the prayer at the end and i couldn't even finish because i was crying from the spirit! I walked out of that meeting with tears rolling down my face from the spirit literally consuming my soul. What a difference it was from the first meeting! Sister Plowman came and talked to me and literally said, "See You can do hard things!" WHAT JUST LIKE MOMMA! Maybe thats one reason why i love her so much!! 

We had to go and do service tuesday morning and boy was i tired. We had it at 5:50 a.m. like seriously MTC as if we don't already get enough sleep you allow us the opportunity to do service at 5:50 :) (you like how i said allow us, instead of make us) haha see I'm changing! JK 

 OH TUESDAY DEVOTIONAL! GUESS WHO CAME!! drum roll please..... RUSSELL M. NELSON! What a beautiful sight to see. He did so well! He talked a lot about just smiling and knowing that everyone is cheering us on. Even our ancestors on the other side!

O Did i already tell you about me starting the BOM over? Well i am going to try to gain a greater personal testimony of it and i am already finished with first nephi and i finished it in 4 days! I actually understand it and LOVE reading it! I pray every time that i understand it, and it works! 

Okay seriously here is another great email story. Im sitting at lunch with everyone and an elder walks over and sits kind of by me and starts talking to us and we are talking back, he is from Fiji, and then he was like well i only really came over here to get her email.. meaning mine! He asked for my email... so uncomfortable i gave it to him cause i felt dumb, but i will never email him! How is it that these Elder's don't get it.

 So Wednesday night i was talking to Elder Beals and he told me some great advice, he said, " Look at your companion as if she was Christ, and then tell me the different love you feel for her" I have been doing that, and it is incredible if you look at anyone as if they are Christ! It works! I challenge all of you to look at others as Christ, or as Christ would. 

Spanish is coming along slowly but surely, yesterday we had to teach the other district and it was the worst day of the week. I couldn't speak again. I ended up leaving crying again. Sister Plowman just hugs me and says i can do it! I Know i keep talking about Elder Beals but he is such a great spiritual person! Yesterday he went through the restoration, and the plan of salvation with me. He helped me memorize scriptures, and seriously i just CRIED in front of him because the spirit is so strong. He believes in me when i feel like i cant do it. We said a prayer after and he asked that i would retain what i study because i told him i struggle at remembering stuff. BUT no i don't like him, I'm just so grateful for his help haha he just understands me and helps me so much. I told him i felt bad that I

A little MTC attitude

Me and my companion

Elder Beal and I



Cross Fit MTC style

I told him i felt bad that I keep asking him to help me but he said something interesting, he said, "Our purpose for our missions are to serve people. No matter who it is we should serve, i believe that you are the first person i should serve on my mission, by helping you know what to teach so you can bring many other unto Christ." He is just the Greatest! 

I know that i love you all. I pray for you and adore YOU! write me on dear elder! sorry lex i have no time but i read your letters and love them you are my hero!! xoxxx muahhhhhh!!!
