So my P-day in the Missionary Training Center (MTC) is Fridays. I love it here! The first day was long and mostly just figuring out where everything was mixed with a little bit of Preach My Gospel.
Yesterday, though, was amazing. I totally got a wake up call. I was sitting in one of my classes and all of a sudden I just realized that being here I am a representative of Jesus Christ and everything that I teach people regarding His gospel, I am claiming as His words. That means that everything I teach needs to be exactly what our Father in Heaven wants me to say, not what I want to say.
I heard such a good quote by Elder Holland in one of my classes. He said, "It is not your lesson, it is his." I thought that was so beautiful and true! So I am just really trying to focus on saying exactly what our Father would say to one of his children and loving everyone.
Love is a huge part of what the teachers have stressed to us over these past 2 days. I am just learning so much and have so much to work on, but it is awesome!
Whoever said that the first 4 days of the MTC are the longest days of your life, was right. I think it's mostly because in those first couple days, you realize how much you need to learn and have to do to represent Christ to the best of your ability. Love you so much!

P.S.S. I have the cutest companion! Her name is Sister Lai (pronounced
like Lie) and she's chinese and from Australia. We get along so well! She loves
working out and eating healthy so she keeps me on track it's awesome. The food
at the MTC is actually not too bad, they have lots of healthy options but also
lots of treats..the cookies are amazing!! We share a room with 3 other sisters
who are also going to temple square and they are the sweetest. Sister Howard
from Australia as well, Sister Sonku from South Africa and Sister Smith from
Arizona. All babes and have such strong testimonies!
