TIS MY LAST P DAY IN THE MTC!!!! SAY WWWHHHAAATTT??!!
Well anywho.. Half of my heart left the MTC this week :( The other district from my zone left... It was pretty sad... We're all super tight... I'm gonna miss my Sister Esplin and Sister Matkin :( crackin out the disney songs in the shower and what not. We're literally the same people... And Elder Watkins... We always talked in British accents and pretended to wear monocles... He's pretty cool haha.
(This is Jordan's mom--she told me to leave this following story in her email because it was one of the funniest thing that happened in the MTC.)
Also.... I fart at the worst possible times... I seriously had never farted in front of anyone while I've been here... The other day I ripped one while talking to Elder Wilbert... Everyone heard hahahaha It was actually pretty freaking hilarious. I was pretty embarrassed for obvious reasons and he was like "... well at least it didn't stink" yeah... It's safe to say we have too much fun sometimes.. And we laugh a lot. And then we were having a heart felt prayer before the other district left and sister matkin's stomach started to grumble during the prayer... So I started laughing... and then I tooted.. during the prayer... Yep... I'm officially the tooter.... It's whatevs... hahahaha
But on the bright side! WE GOT A NEW ZEALANDER!! Elder Ormsby... He's... You know... hahaha
New Years eve was uneventful... I was out cold by 10:30 haha. Thank you for the packages by the way!!!! My roomies appreciate the candy, as do I! You should be getting a card soon.
I also got a blessing at the beginning of the week and it was amazing! I was having a rough time with feeling like I wasn't catching on as fast as the rest of the kids and I couldn't pay attention, So I was feeling pretty inadequate. So I asked the Elders to give me a blessing and it was seriously the coolest thing I have ever experienced. It was like.. Right when they made the circle around me, you could just feel their power.. It was then that I realized what power these young elders hold. It's insane! It gives me the chills just thinking about it! It built my testimony on Priesthood so much and extremely relevant it is in my life and how grateful I am for the priesthood! Elder Pulotu was the one who gave me the blessing and it's crazy how much the Lord guides them in what to say. Because he said some things that I know he couldn't have picked up from what I had talked about to him.
We've been teaching a lot of "investigators" and I love it so much! And we practiced street contacting... It's so much fun! I love missionary work!!!!!
I haven't seen Jake... Elder Story.. yet. No joke, everywhere I walk, especially if it's busy I shout out "Elder Story... Elder Jacob Marlin Story"... I'm going to keep doing it until I find him. But I did see Elder Heimuli!!! (Tohi)
This week has been so much better! I'm finally catching on and the vibes I have are so much better! I just had a constant frustrated feeling for 2 weeks, but now I'm finally feeling the spirit really really strong! I know the Lord has been helping me so much! I'm also getting really good at remembering scriptures! My knowledge of them has grown a ton! It's awesome. I love studying the Book of Mormon and the bible and seeing all the cross references and how much they complete each other. - Side story, Elder Galovich... the kid has the first 9 CHAPTERS! Of The Book of Mormon memorized... You give him a chapter and the verse and he'll quote it word for word! It's nuts!- I know that my Heavenly Father and my Savior know me exactly and that they are always there to help. I love letting our investigators know that they are children of God. My favorite thing to talk about is prayer!! Prayer is the best thing ever. Letting people know they can have a relationship with their Father in Heaven is amazing. And thanks for all the love and support.! I'm so excited to finally be going to Florida! We fly out on the 7th, so I'll probably call at like... 6 in the morning or something??
I love you guys!!!!
Sister Bradford
