Year 1, Week 4: Music Coordinators

Hello everybody,

Its crazy to think that I have been here almost a month and that I have only like two weeks left! Time has flown by with it being so busy! Sundays are definitely the most tiring, stressful, and crazy day of the whole week.

Last Sunday me and my companion taught the lesson in our district meeting. We taught about faith and trust in Jesus Christ. The lesson went super great. I love talking and teaching about the gospel; its so much fun! We have 5 districts in our zone, this week 4 of them left which left just my district. That meant that everyone got callings to do things on Sunday! Me and my companion got called to be the music coordinators! We pick the songs for sacrament meeting, organize the musical numbers and direct the music for sacrament meeting! I am so glad i am following in the footsteps of my mother who was also the music director in our ward! I felt like it was meant to be and I was born to have this calling!!! 

This coming Sunday is crazy though! All week we have been stressing because our district has to do everything at church. Elder Grant and I have to teach again, but this time it's in priesthood. Then we might have to give the talk in sacrament, and we have to get all the musical things ready. Its crazy but we can do it! 

Me and my companion taught Heidi three times this week! It was our last time teaching her because after this week we switch people to teach. Two out of the three times went really well but the one time we got stuck trying to explain how Joseph Smith used the Seer's stone to help translate the Book of Mormon. We had to try to do that in Spanish which was really bad! But we got through it and the other times were good! 

Everyone in the MTC gets shirts with their mission on it. So me and my companion got some and rocked the Peru shirt! It was really cool and i like matching with the Elders in my district!

On Sunday we have a devotional with a speaker. This time it was Elder Stevenson from the quorum of the twelve apostles! It was so cool to be able to listen to an apostle in person! He talked about how our call on a mission was divine and it was from God and Jesus Christ through the prophet President Nelson! He also talked about the Book of Mormon and the power of it! I learned so much from him and it was such a cool experience! 

This week flew by as well; been here almost a month and have about 2 weeks left! Let's go!
