Week 2 ... so fast, but oh so slow!

Hey everyone, it's me again!:) 

It's crazy how time flies! I've been in the MTC for two weeks already and now I only have five days left before I get to go to ALABAMA!!! I will be there by Tuesday afternoon! I'm so excited to get there and start doing the Lord’s work!

Anyway, this week has been the slowest and the fastest week ever! I don't even know how that's possible but it is. 

We taught a few lessons to "investigators" and a few of them went really well and a few didn't go as planned initially but ended up ok! 
Nothing else really happened this week except for a devotional by the Presiding Bishop Gerald Caussè. It was a really great devotional that gave great insight into repentance. The biggest takeaway for me is that during the 2 years or 18 months that we are on missions we need to be a tool in God's hands because this time is not our time but rather the Lord’s time. 

That's basically all that happened this week ... oh, and attending A LOT of classes! 

Also, a scripture that stuck out to me this week that I want to share is found in the Book of Mormon -  Ether 12:27. I encourage everyone to read it!!

Until next week from my new home for two years ... Sweet Home Alabama!
