Year 1, Week 2: I Love Teaching

Hey Everyone!!

It is my second week in the MTC, and it's going better for sure. Everyone says that the first couple days you are here are slow and then it goes really fast! That is so true. This week has flown by, and I can't believe I'm in my second week already. This week has been a blast! My district is so much fun and we laugh all the time.  We are all sore from laughing so much!

Me and my companion had our first TRC's this week! That basically means that we go and teach someone about the gospel for like 30 minutes. Some, I have heard, are actually investigators and some are just members, so we can practice on. 

We taught a lady named Alexi and she is a 22 year old who is going to BYU. We got together a lesson about the spirit and how to recognize the spirit. We connected great with her right when we went in which was great. As we went along she asked us a question that we planned on talking about which was perfect! She asked how can you tell if it is the spirit talking or your own thought! The spirit was there and we had a great lesson! We taught her one more time but it was basically about the same thing. She had lots of questions so we just answered them for the whole time. It was great! I love teaching! We start our Spanish TRCs on Monday so wish me luck! 

So the MTC isn't all that bad. The language is just hard to get used to. You can't speak the same way and you can't understand your teacher but other than that it's pretty good! I love teaching and feeling the spirit and that's for sure there a lot! My district is so fun and we laugh a lot! We get along great! 

We had our first devotional on Sunday and Bishop Causse spoke! He talked about ways we can be BOLD missionaries. It was really good and it inspired me to become a better missionary! I love the MTC choir! If anyone ever goes to the Provo MTC, you should definitely join the choir because it's so good! The director is so funny and tells great stories! And it's fun to sing so yeah, win win win! 

This week was definitely better than the first couple days. I think I just needed some more time to adjust but yeah it's great now and I'm learning a lot! 

I'm definitely terrible at taking pictures so I'll try better next week.
