Sister Beesting

This week in the mtc has hands down been one of the best weeks of my life. OH so many things I don't even know where to start. 
I guess I'll begin with my cute comp, sister modersitzki! The bee sting she got last Tuesday made her foot blow up and it kept getting worse and worse. So by Saturday we finally were able to take an mtc shuttle to the ER. Long story short she got a skin infection and had to be in a wheel chair until it was better. Well, not a lot of new things happen at the mtc.. so rumors began to spread & before we knew it we were hearing things like "there's this girl in a wheelchair that has the biggest foot I've ever seen" or "a tracker jacker bit that sister in the wheel chair." Elders and Sisters we hadn't even met would pass us saying "hey sister beesting!" #mtclegends To be honest I loved it. We both did! We made so many new friends because of it! Wayyyy more pros to this whole situation. She's better now &  people are so sweet & excited to see her walking!! God answers prayers!  

The mtc is busyyyy! There is always  something to be studying or a class to go to. I LOVE IT. I'm the happiest little muffin when I am using all the hours in the day to do something productive. And the best part is I'm always busy with the Lord's work!! Which is even better! Ahh! I couldn't even begin to explain all the wonderful things I have learned here.   

My district agreed to be at class 10 minutes early to share our "happy time" from the day. One of my absolute favorite happy times from this whole mtc thing is when sister modersitzki and i are walking around campus & we are saying "hi, elders/sisters!" and they respond with their native or mission language! There is no where else in the entire world like the mtc. So many people from all over the world speaking a bunch of different languages all with the same  purpose! Gives me chills. There could never be a basic week where not a lot happened. I'm going to be really sad to leave. (Who knew I would ever like Provo this much) But, similar to how Adam and Eve eventually realized there was no growth in the garden of Eden, I must leave & continue my mission in DC!! (Which excites me just as much.)     
 
(Sunday & Tuesday night devotional were both equally as lovely. Participating in the mtc choir lives up to the expectations all the RMs gave me.) (and how extreme 4 square gets.)

Wednesday night all the EFY kids have game night on the field & it just makes my heart so happy because EFY is where I realized the reality of God. It had a big impact on me & now I'm across the street in the mtc!! Crazy stuff! 

Sister modersitzki and I are generally happy people but I can honestly say I have never felt so much happiness in my life. It doesn't come in little spurts like usual. It's this constant balanced combination of peace & joy that made a little home for it's self in the depths of my heart. There is nothing else in this world that could possibly be more important than what I am doing. God is preparing the hearts of the people in DC & through his help I can't wait to find them to share this sweet message!!! :):):)   
You can all feel this happiness I feel! I promise God loves each of you & is anxiously waiting for you to come back to him.

Good news, our birds are still eating the food we leave out for them on the balcony. We have a blue jay and a crow that are regulars. no big deal. Also good news, IM STAYING IN CRYSTAL CITY WITH SISTER MINAKER FOR ANOTHER SIX WEEKS  this week we gathered some nuts that had fallen off a tree and ended up along the road in the gutter. We cracked them and tried boiling them. I don't know what our end goal was.. but it didn't work. Advice: leave the gutter nuts, they are very bitter. We met a man on the fourth floor... last door (haha)!! He met with missionaries in Korea but lost contact when he moved back to America. WELL HELLO, MIRACLES! There is a part of preach my gospel where a recent convert expresses how when he found the church it filled a hole in his heart/life that he didn't know was missing. That's the best way I can explain how being on a mission feels like. I have found a piece of me I didn't know was missing. Life right before leaving was so wonderful...

I LOVE YOU

Before I left on my mission I was worried about the work coming off as "here, let me tell you how to live your life." I hate that feeling. (Degrading advice?) But what I've realized, and what is so beautiful about this gospel, is that when people are wanting to change the teachings, the truths, the testimonies, they all have a spirit of love. People realize and feel that we are here helping them because of love. Not because our way is better than their way. But because they have tried their way & through personal trials they have realized that the only way is God's way. Missionaries teach God's way. And help our heavenly father's children understand His way. This work is so worth it, always, but especially when the people thank us for helping them get closer to Christ. GAH,  THIS IS THE BEST.  Whilst on exchanges this week...  I was in the YSA area right next to mine with mah girl Sister. Wayment. We had a lesson with someone she is teaching na...

"And now behold, I say unto you, my brethren, if ye have experienced a change of heart, and if ye have felt to sing the song of redeeming love, I would ask, can ye feel so now?" (-alma 5:26) Alright!! I must tell y'all about Sam Sayem. We met him two weeks ago. I haven't mentioned him yet because I didn't want to take attention away from Brother Farraj and Megan!   WELL, SAM IS AWESOME. I met him on an exchange. He and his wife were getting their groceries and going into the house. They really didn't seem that interested. But God knows the heart because the next day my real companion and I were in that same apartment complex. We saw a man sitting in his car, so naturally we go wave him to roll down his window so we can talk to him (perks of being a sister). It was Sam!! He says "I read your pamphlet. I was going to call you today because I know there must be a prophet on earth today." (Grew up Muslim in Bangladesh might I add..) Well, since that d...
