2 week ft. the Piano Guys and Elder Zwick of the Seventy

December 21st, 2016

This week was so much better!! im having so much fun and learning alot. this week we had to say goodbye to one of our favorite teachers.(theyre both our fav) Brother Farr. He was so awewsome. but we gained another sweet teacher, Brother White! Hes sooo awesome and hes probs my favorite. My district and i are doing a secret santa type thing! its going to be so much fun!  our TRCs are doing better, we got a new one. so we arnt teaching Sydney or Pam anymore:( we have a sweet new girl named Viri. we taught her what prayer is and the importance of it. She then at the end of our appointment prayed. it was the most spiritual prayer and sincere prayer. She is still confused on what the order is but they was she just opens her heart is so sweet. i love her so much! 

Something funny happened when we played volleyball this week. when the new missionaries came some British people came in. SO 3 of them have work out time at the same time as us. we were all playng volleyball and the British elder just started yelling and said "WHAT THE FREAKIN HECK MATE!" and oh my goodness, everytime he would yell it would be so hard to under stand him cause of his accent. i couldnt stop laughing. He was so funny! 

As since im friends with the missionaries that are going to Korea,  i now know alot more korean, i was talking to 2 Elders that im good friends with, (a cool thing is that one is from NORWAY!!! NO WAY!) Elder summers not the norwway Elder, had a tubberware full of squid tentacles with red pepper paste. basically his Korean grandma sent him it. So i ate it. ant let me tell you. it was good. it was better than the actually MTC food. I wish i was going to Korea! I also found out that Elder Oberhansly(in my district) loves Korea too! so i am not alone!

We have two new districts in our zone, and i love them all. they are so awesome and i can see the light of Christ illuminating off of them. But i still miss the other district that left. they were so awesome. 

im so excited for Christmas! we actually get to call home sunday! 

So on sunday we had a devotional with....... THE PIANO GUYS!! it was so fun and cool! they performed 4 amazing songs! They are all wonderful men! 

Steven Sharp(what he said that i liked)

"We are all inadequate without the Savior." "Cry out for the Savior!" Being able to talk to our Heavenly Father daily is such a blessing, and sometimes we take it for granted. The MTC has been hard. it has, no matter how fun it may seem, most of the day is hard. But as i Call our to our Heavenly Father and Savior in prayer each day, morning, class time, before and after we study, before and after we teach, meals, night time. i have not prayed that much ever in a day. But i have seen His hands in my life daily than every bore and i Hope that you take the time in our day, whenever, where ever you are. He will always be listening. I Invite you all, when you pray, to get on your knees and be sincere and  humble, Pour your heart out to Him. He wants to here how youre feeling. He loves you so much! "He will pull you our of the darkness anytime, anywhere."

John Schmidt

He played Waterfall!!! oh my goodness yay!! 

"Heavenly Father is ready to help us" Read Alma 37:36\

and think to yourself "How quickly do i turn to God when faced with a problem?" HE will help you i PROMISE! 

"You should always, always care!"

 

Yesterday we had a member of the seventy come and talk to us. Elder Zwick and his wife. 

Moroni 7:33 

1. we must acknowledge our dependants on the Savior.

2. We must invite Him in our life.

They had alittle video of their granddaughter telling us a message, something she said was"If you stay close to Jesus, Jesus will stay close to you."

Christ is the Light that dispells all darkness. We need to rely on Him to help us through our darkest times. He will always be there. we just have to call our for him.

 we need to "honors Christ name"

I love and miss every one of you! i hope that you all have a good Christmas! im super excited to experience Christmas here. Also to call my Family!! You all should Write me/email/or dear elder!! I want to hear from you. send pictures!! 

I am so happy to have seen so many people that i know and meeting new friends. im so excited to be in North Dakota next week. its gone by so fast and im so excited to be out there... in the freezing cold. 

I love you!
