I have been blessed with an amazing district. There are four sisters and four elders, so it's very small for a district here, but it's been really good. We all get along really well, and it's been so fun to spend time with them.
My companion is amazing. Sister Servoss and I work really well together, and she's just fun to be around. She's headed to the Canada Winnipeg Mission, as are the two other sisters, while the four elders are headed to Fresno with me. Sister Servoss is one of the most genuinely happy people I've ever met, and she's so loving. I really lucked out.
We have the best teachers ever, Sister Winegar and Brother Allred. I have learned so much from them. And Brother Allred and Sister Winegar's assistant teacher, Brother Wilson, both served in Fresno!!! You should have seen Brother Allred when he heard that we were serving in Fresno. He was happier than a child on Christmas! He's told us a fair amount about the people there, which has been really cool. It's hard not to be excited about Fresno when they're both so excited! It's definitely been a tender mercy.
So we're already done teaching our first investigator. Her name was Joan, and she looked scarily like Sister Winegar. ;) But it was actually really cool, because she felt like an actual investigator, and the Spirit in those lessons was like nothing I've really felt before. It was so cool to feel God's love for her.
And then yesterday we taught our first real investigators. Their names are Angela and Jalyne, and we don't know if they're a member or an actual investigator. There is a real possibility that they could be actual investigators who have come to the MTC to learn about the gospel. Which is scary but cool. I've never felt God's love for someone else like I have here at the MTC.
I think the best part about being here at the MTC though is that the Spirit has become my best friend. I'm much more aware of His presence, and I've learned that I can't do anything without the Spirit's help. Every lesson we've taught hasn't gone according to plan, but when we've taught by the Spirit, it went so much better than planned. The only annoying thing is that whenever I'm trying to have some quiet, alone time, the Spirit keeps interrupting me with inspiration. Which I guess is a good thing. It just means that I have to dedicate more time so I actually get some alone time. Which I'm not so good at yet.
It's crazy that I'm almost a third of the way through the MTC, but it's been so good. It helps that I know that this is where I'm supposed to be, and that being here has helped me learn why God's timing was the way it was.
Love you all!!
