First and most importantly,
HAPPY BIRTHDAY SYDNEY!!!! I LOVE YOU!!!!
This week was another great week in the MTC! :) (my tablet likes to autocorrect MTC to HTC, so if you see that, I meant MTG lol) I'm gonna tell some more funny stories and some more super incredibly amazing spiritual moments. :) there are lots of both on a mission. :)
I mentioned our investigator Jose last week. He's such an awesome dude! Sis Rolfson and I really connected with him, and we're able to work with the Spirit to draw him closer to Christ. However, on our lesson on Friday, he brought all his boxing stuff to show us and he was so excited! It was so so funny. Okay, so he got all his stuff out at the beginning and then started jumping around the Little room showing us different boxing moves. Hahaha it was so funny!! But wait, it gets better. HE then started teaching us how to box! So all you who made fun of my weak punches, you better watch out in 18 months. ;) haha it really was way funny! Don't worry, we also taught him a lesson. :) the lesson before he had given sister Rolfson and me a list of questions he has, and was wondering if we could answer them for him. Before bed the night before we were going to give him the lesson of his questions, I felt like I should read from where I was at in the Book of Mormon. I thought that would be a good idea, so I opened up to where I was in alma. The chapter was super great...talking about how awesome Moroni was, and then all of the sudden, there was an answer to one of Jose's questions that we had been having a hard time answering. The best part? The verse of scripture said word for word the main part of Jose's question!! Holy cow!! It's hard to type out these experiences, so I hope you all can still understand how great that was. The Spirit knows what he's doing, so if you feel like doing something that's good, DO IT!! When sister Rolfson and I shared part of that chapter with him and he saw his question answered, he was in awe. Not with us, but with the Book of Mormon! It answered his question directly! The book of mormon seriously is the greatest book. Even if it's hard to understand sometimes. 😉
Guess what?? We have movie night every week at the MTC!! :) every Sunday night after the devotional, they play about 7 different films for us to choose from. :) my district decided to watch a super duper awesome one this Sunday. Any guesses? No, it wasn't the new Wonder Woman movie...even better. We got to watch the Joseph Smith movie!! That is a super good movie, and I'm not just saying that because I'm a missionary. ;) I'd definitely recommend it to everyone! It's got the scary parts, a romantic kiss under a bridge (haha that caused the funniest reaction from all of us missionaries) crazy awesome spiritual goodness, and not too bad of acting! Plus, you get to learn more about Joseph Smith and the gospel, so that's a bonus. :)
It's funny how growing up I've been taught different concepts of the gospel, and o knew that they were important, but it never really hit just how amazing they are. For example, we are given the opportunity to take the sacrament every week. Why is that so important? Because we get to renew our baptismal covenants and be cleansed of sins we have repented of. But why is the sacrament so amazing? Because it shows us just how much God loves us! He allows us to basically be baptized and cleansed every single week if we sincerely repent. Each week we are given a new slate and another chance to become more like our Savior. Funny how it's taken me so long to realize this, but I thought I'd share it with you all. :)
I really hope all this has made sense...i hope it's not been too boring, because being a missionary is definitely NOT boring.:) well, I love you all and hope you all have a super happy week! Thanks to everyone for the prayers, they really help more than you could ever imagine! :) I hope you all take time this week to ponder about something, pray, and read in the Book of Mormon to find an answer from your Heavenly Father. HE loves you. I promise you that. HE wants all of us to talk to Him every single day!:) try and spread smiles wherever you go! :) remember that you are all loved. :)
Love you!! Be so happy!! :)
