WEEK ONE

Hello family!!
It's finally a much needed P-day! I am so exhausted physically, spiritually, mentally, everything haha. This is such an incredible place to be right now. This week has been so overwhelming and a lot harder than I ever thought! Our first teaching experience was a total fail and it was a very humbling experience. I have been so happy, yet so drained and discouraged at the same time. I think I have felt every emotion possible this week. I honestly don't remember Wednesday. It was a total blur. I now understand the saying "the days turn into weeks and the weeks turn into days" Everyone says that and it is so true! This week was so long but it flew by! I'm basically done! A week from now I'll be in California and that terrifies me. I'm so excited though :) So our schedule consists of waking up at 6:30 (still super hard) exercise (hahahaha) and then breakfast. After breakfast we go to class for 3 hours. This is the time that we teach our "investigators" that are really our teachers pretending. Then lunch, then another 3 hour class time. We study ALL DAY LONG. And I have never prayed so much in one day in my life. We pray over everything. Seriously I would guess at least 30 prayers a day haha. It's so great. My testimony has grown so much over the last week. Last night we had a devotional at the Marriott Center. The entire MTC was there and that was the first time that had ever happened.  A member of the 70 spoke to us and it was so perfect. All day yesterday I was discouraged because our lesson didn't go as we wanted it to and I was just scared because I didn't know how I was going to be able to do this and to teach real investigators. I was praying all day that I would know that this is for me and at the devotional, he went over how well we are aquainted with God and that we are called to do this by a prophet. I've heard this a million times but I know that was for me. I also read my patriarchal blessing and there is a whole section on serving that I have seriously never seen before. I was on the verge of tears because I swear it just got put in there yesterday haha. I have never seen it and I know that it was all for me. I know that the Lord really does know and love each of us and that I can do this. I know He knows I can do this.
I don't have a lot of time but I will try to send pictures a little later.. I love all of you and THANK YOU FOR THE LETTERS. I am the only one that has really gotten letters and when I get like 10 each day it so helps. I love it and I love hearing from all of you and about what you are doing. Like I said I will try to email again a little later today but if not, I love you and thank you for everything!
