Week #3 Half way through the MTC!

Ciao!!!!

I cant believe its week 3! I am half way through my time at the MTC! I enjoy it so much! Every morning I wake up and I just feel so blessed! Its hard to wake up at 6:30 every day but then I remember my purpose! I am a representative of Jesus Christ! How cool is that? What I learned this week is how blessed I am to know that God has a plan for us! A beautiful plan of happiness and joy! I am so glad this life is full of 2nd chances! I really loved Isaiah 53:4-7

Conference was of course AMAZING! I loved Elder Scott's talk about the little things that help us grow closer to God. And being aware of others needs, we seriously never know when we can be an answer to someones prayer.

Sunday Devo we had Vai Sikahema come! He was a great speaker! He talked about sharing his testimony on a plane ride with a lady and it having no affect on her but it had an affect on a 10 year old boy who was sitting there and helping him explain that we dont blame eve or adam for the fall! 

I could hear the BYU game from the MTC, I heard a touchdown too! Wooh! 

My favorite dessert this week was definitley an ice cream sunday with m&ms and marshmallow topping! Wooh! I cant wait for real italian food though. Gelato here I come! 

Most spiritual experience/ progress in italian! Yesterday we taught Alessandro about prayer and scripture study and how through these we grow closer to God. During these lessons I try hard to look up from my notes (which is difficult at times). But it was my turn to talk and I said one sentence that wasnt planned! And guess what? It made sense and he understood me! The spirit was so strong! The language is coming slowly but it is coming! 

Embarrassing story: (aka your favorite part) I have a little cold because the MTC is a germ magnet. I started to have a cough attack during my lesson with Martina (new person we teach). I coughed so hard I started tearing up while my companion was talking. Then it was my turn to share my testimony and I was wiping away tears haha. And I dont know if she realized it was because i was coughing but it was super funny and slightly awkward! I may be a missionary but I still am awkward! No worries friends!

Love you all! You are in my prayers!
