It feels like just yesterday I was emailing home!!! I miss you all and I'm grateful for all of your love and support! Wednesday we had a devotional with Elder Charles of the Seventy and that was incredible!! He was so cool and I learned a lot of great stuff from him about being obedient. One of the things that he said that I really liked was "Almost obedient, almost blessed!" So that is what I've been really focusing on this past week because I need all the blessings I can get! The MTC is still great and I'm still having an awesome time!!
Kind of a funny story for ya... We'll it's actually not super funny it's just me being dumb but here at the MTC you have to turn on the outlet so you can use it and so one morning I was curling my hair and when I finished, I turned off the iron and went to unplug it (completely forgetting to turn off the outlet). So I pull my plug out of the wall and was slightly electrocuted and man that does not feel good. My arm felt weird until about lunch time but it’s okay! I didn't blow up or anything so all is well! But I definitely learned my lesson and haven't really wanted to do my hair since hahaha!
On Thursday we got to go into the city of Manchester and walk around the streets for a few hours and talk to people! A lot of people were really rude and didn't want to talk to us, but it’s okay! Every time we got yelled at my companion and I would just walk away laughing! You can't focus on all the bad things in life when Heavenly Father has given us so much to be thankful for!! Yes, I did get yelled at and called some very mean things, but there were some people who were so kind, and one guy even accepted a book of Mormon and said he would read it!!!! So I encourage all of you to count your blessings. Life is hard, and it can really get you down at times, but there is ALWAYS something to be grateful for!
This whole time difference thing is weird because I'll be crawling into bed at night and my family might just be eating lunch back home! So just a little side note... my p-day ends at 6:00 my time (7 hours ahead of AZ) so after that, I'm not allowed to email you back! I can read your emails any day of the week, but I can only write back on Tuesday for right now... that will soon change to Monday's. Next Tuesday I leave the MTC to head to the mission field so I'll either get to email home Sunday or Monday! Love you all!!!!! And I know our Heavenly Father loves you and knows you are and what you're going through! Hope you all have a great week and I would love to hear how you all are doing!
Cheerio!!!
