Week 2

MTC District with one of our teachers
In my zone there are 4 Sorelle, three of us going to Roma, one going to Milano. Sorella Serena from Argentina is the one going to Milano. Of the 20 Anziani, only 6 are going to Milano, two are in my district. Anziano Farnsworth and Anziano Bruggaman!   I love my district soooooo much!!! This last Sunday was probably one of the most wonderful days of my life! We had an awesome meeting in the morning about not giving up and the speaker was just a hoot! Anyway, the day continued with a wonderful sacrament meeting, for a special musical number, I had two Anziani from a different district who are awesome singers sing to an arrangement of "I Need Thee Every Hour" in Italiano! SOOOOO PRETTY!!! Then we had awesome talks, and awesome devotional that night about how to be a happy successful missionary! That Sunday night we had over 1,900 missionaries in the MTC. They related us to the 2,000 stripling warriors which was a cool thought. Then that night, we could pick which church movie we wanted to go see! We chose the "Character of Christ" by Elder Bednar which is SOOOOOO GOOD! LOOK IT UP!   As a district, we like to have "family" prayer before bed. Before that we all went around and said what we liked about the day, these Anziani are seriously going to kill it in the field. Their testimonies are so sweet and sincere! We all knelt together for prayer and there was just the best feeling of love. Basically we are besties for the resties.
The MTC Squad
I'm trying to think of what to write about this last week, it feels like we have done nothing, but yet we have done sooo much! We now have two new investigators (our teachers)! These lessons have gone so well and seriously the gift of tongues is real people! Il Spirito Santo really helped me out. Just yesterday, during our lesson with "Valeria" I was able to remember all the verbs that I've been having a really hard time with and was able to recite the whole first vision from memory in Italiano! (that has never happened since -  that perfect anyway), it was super cool, and the best parts of our lessons is when we bear our testimonies in Italiano. We don't know all the words to gospel concepts for our lessons, but we sure can bear our testimony about how we know Joseph Smith saw Padre Celeste e Gesu Cristo!

The MTC is just a great place, lot's of Elders and Sisters like to share spiritual messages with you if you are outside for study time. Sometimes they will share their message in the language they are learning so that is way cool too! Tomorrow we have what is called TRC which is basically like home teaching/visiting teaching. Volunteers that speak Italiano come in and we teach them a quick little 20 minute lesson! Should be great!

Sisters at the Provo Temple
Sorella Tingey is still FANTASTIC. I still struggle with how quiet she is, since it makes it hard for me to know what she is thinking and what she wants to do, but it's getting better!



LOVE, Sorella Nelson!!!
