MTC Week 2!

This week has been amazing! I am so grateful for the MTC. I mean really, I was so worried that I wouldn't be prepared to go out to my mission and teach people, but that's exactly what the MISSIONARY TRAINING CENTER is for. I'm an idiot, haha. But while I've been here I've learned to rely so much more on the spirit and that I'm imperfect, but that's okay, we ALL are, and Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ still love us!!

SO I see James a lot. We're on the same floor, and the bathroom is right next to his door, so my companion and I look into the little window and tease him or try to get his attention. It's been so nice to have a familiar face here. I sometimes stop him to talk when he really doesn't have time, haha, but he knows me so it makes me happy!

Speaking of familiar faces, Elder Tedders from Meridian Idaho is here at the MTC and I saw him at the Tuesday night devotional before we sang in the choir! He said to tell my brothers that he was thinking about them. So great :D

My companion and I have been teaching some investigators here at the MTC, they're either members of the church that are acting, or they really are investigators. It's been nice, and even though it's obvious that our investigator is a member, I've been learning that everyone needs to come closer to Christ, not just non-members. Jesus Christ is for everyone!

We leave the MTC on Tuesday morning at like 6:30, so for the none of you that sent me mail via postal services, send all future, potential, imaginary mail to the Arizona address.

Being the Sister Training Leaders has been fun. We get a cell phone, but the only number we can call is the front information desk. There are also phones on every floor of every building that can do the same thing, so other than the fact that people can contact us, it's basically useless. 

I am really loving writing letters, so please send me your address, or send me a letter so that I have your address and know that people love me. I want to send you guys things, but I can't if I don't have a place to send it! 

Have I mentioned how great the MTC is? It has been the hardest and most physically, spiritually and mentally exhausting experience of my life, but it's been so wonderful. I am so excited to get out and to start teaching the people of Gilbert, but I am going to miss my District and Zone so much. I have become amazing friends with some of these people in a little over a week. I know that it's going to be emotional when we leave, but we have definitely created lasting friendships. 

I love you all, please write me and let me know if you have any questions! I'll talk to you all next week sometime when I'm in Arizona!
