Week 10

Hey Everyone,

Wow I can't believe this time has gone by so fast. Im already at week 10 which means about 2 more weeks to go ( I leave July 9th). So if you are sending packages, letters, cookies ( ;) ) then send them now because I dont want to miss them. So this week we had a wonderful opportunity. First of all I hosted the new sisters that came in last week, I helped them come in and get their stuff in their room and then get their books. My friend Atiana came in and im so excited because shes here. We also had the opportunity to hear from an apostle yesterday. Ok let me back up. So this week is Mission President training so all 110 mission president couples are here and are being trained by the first presidency and the 12 apostles! How great of an experience is that! So the meal lines have been a little crowded but i dont complain cause yesterday we had 10 out of 12 of the apostles at our devotional! It was so awesome we had: holland, cook, nelson, bednar, andersen, christoffersen, perry, (and four others who i cant remember. dont worry i wrote them down) but it was so good. The devotional was about a presentation them are giving the media because of the election coming up and everything, and its a wonderful summary of our church and our values. I seriously could feel the Holy Ghost in that meeting, even though he was giving statistics! But I know this church is the true church of God and i know that he loves each of us and knows each of our names. He loves and cares for us. I have had the greatest experience just being here at the MTC (yes the companion is rough) but I have seen god answer my prayers, even the tiny ones! thanks for the wonderful letters and I really enjoy them! Keep them coming! (until july 9th) And NO dearelder.com is not guarded by the CIA or anything! :) love everyone and hope everything is well at home.
