Wow. Sounds like you and Dad have been really busy. I
can kind of understand the numb feeling. When I got here to the MTC, I
just felt so numb to my surroundings. I didn't feel like I was really
here. I ate and slept and did everything that i was supposed to, but it
was like I was a robot just going through the motions and following
directions.
So, Tomorrow! I am heading out to the airport at about 3:00 in the morning D: But while I'm in the airport I'll be able to call you up at around 5:00-5:30 or maybe more like 6:00. The window of calling time is from like 5 to 6:30
so I'm not quite sure exactly about the time, but I just wanted to let
you know so you could be up and around your phone :) I'm glad that
you're getting things figured out and that you can start organizing and
cleaning the house. I'm honestly really nervous to go to Georgia. Like
I'm way excited, but I honestly don't feel very prepared. (It feels like
I've been in the MTC for months, but it's only been 12 days and I still
feel like I have sooooooo much to learn.) But I guess if I tried to
prepare towards my level of preparedness, I'd never be ready to go on my
mission :P
I miss you guys a lot. Tell Amelia thank you for me
for the Valentine's day card!! I loved it :D I'll try and get one sent
back to her as soon as I can. All in all, even though I don't feel ready
to go on my mission, I know that the Lord is with me. I know that He
won't abandon me. I just need to put my trust and faith in Him and I
know that He'll have my back. That doesn't mean that I'll get off easy
and that i can't do the work. I still have to take my leap of faith, but
at least I know that He'll be there to catch me if/when I fall short.
There definitely have been some hard days here, and
quite a bit of discouragement, but the good days always make those hard
times better. I'm still smiling every day and having a great time. I
love my companion Sis. Nielsen (I finally figured out how to spell her
name :P ) and I'm really going to miss her when we have to go our
separate ways. That's probably one thing that I'll like the least,
having to say goodbye so much. But I guess that makes the reunions that
much sweeter when we see each other again. I had an amazing branch here,
and such an awesome district! Haha, our district totally had a
massaging session while all of us read from the MTC Handbook, it was
Awesome! (it's so nice having a district of all girls haha) My goal this
week is to work harder, and to strive to focus more on the work. I have
so much to learn and get better at. (Especially learning how to study
and to listen to the Spirit, but practice makes perfect :) ) I hope to
hear from you soon! I'm off to Georgia! :D I love you all!
