Week One

Well I did it I've been in the MTC for 1 whole week! I realize the MTC is way different then the mission field but I can honestly say I freaking love it! I'm feeling super blessed right now because flying went off without a hitch, and I have the most amazing companion sister Romero from Australia! 

She is 20 from Sydney a foot shorter then me and she is such a power house in the gospel we only met a week ago but it feels like we have been friends for years! soooo cool! And thank goodness she feels the same about me! when she found out I was Canadian she got so excited because she is obsessed with all things Canada and has always wanted to go and I've always wanted to go to Australia so needless to say we have a trip planned after the mission where we spend a week with each other in each others home lands!

 My other mates are Sister Rippley from Edmonton AB and Sister Howland from Utah they are super nice and both serving in the London South mission. I haven't been outside a whole lot but we have gone on walks on the grounds and from what I can see England is freaking gorgeous! My hair is loving the English humidity!

 The food is super good and I've been sleeping on bunk beds which is seriously the best thing ever I dunno why but I'm really digging sleeping 6ft in the air! In the MTC we learn, learn, learn and then we teach, teach, teach! I honestly feel embarrassed by how much I love it all! even getting up early in the morning is super awesome, I was only Jet lagged for like 2 days and now I'm good to go! 

On Sunday we got to hear from a seventy, Brother Homer he was super cool and he talked to us personally and it was just so awesome to hear him speak! I got some letter's and a package which were so awesome! Today we are going to take on the town and then latter we are gonna do a session at the temple so I'm super pumped for that! 

We also watched a devotional on Sunday by Elder Holland! in it he said (while slamming his fist) the Saviour didn't have it easy so why would you think you should have it easy! Amen! I feel like so often I used to think this is so hard but now I feel like an idiot because my life is a dream compared to what Jesus Christ went through for us! 

I am so grateful to our Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ for providing me with a way that I could gain a body and have this earthly experiences and have Joy! and if I mess up it's not over I can work hard and repent my life would be a mess with out the atonement and for that I'm so grateful. I feel like everyone should have an MTC experience because I have never felt so immersed in the Gospel before! 

It is such an honour and a blessing to eat sleep and drink the gospel at all times! I also realized how cool our gospel is! I have been meeting people all over this amazing world and they know the church just as I do because the gospel is the same whether it's in Dutch, French, Mandarin, Hungarian or English we are still on the same page! I love the MTC I love being a missionary for this church God is Good life is Good!
