WHAT A WEEK.
I'm finally getting the hang of things around here, so I guess it's cool that this time next week I'll be going to Arcadia! The days are all pretty much the same here at the mtc, so I'll just give you all the important bits! After emailing last week, we went to the temple and had lunch and did initiatories. After that, we studied for a while and then went to the Tuesday night devotional! It was amazing! Quentin L. Cook and his wife, Mary came and spoke to us! Sister cook spoke about developing Christlike attributes, and being our own true convert through the end of your life. Elder Cooks talk was a lot longer and he talked about a bunch of different things! Most of his talk was about how we need to have four loves on our mission.
1. Love your companion
2. Love the people
3. Love your mission president and his wife
4. Love the Savior. It is the single great love to aspire to on a mission.
He said, "Taking his gospel to the world is how you show you love the savior."
Ya feel? Cuz faith without works is dead.
After the devotional we had a district meeting that was such a happy time, and one elder started talking about how much he loved everyone and it was a hug/handshake fest.
Wednesday was my week mark which was weird because I seriously felt like I had just gotten here and not much has changed. Basically we go to class all day and eat food. So many prayers are said and so much studying is done.
Sister Gillman and I taught relief society on Sunday which was kind of difficult because we had to teach on the apostasy. All is well though, we found a seminary class lesson plan, and adjusted it to fit our needs. It went pretty well. On Sunday nights the MTC shows different talks or church movies after devotionals and on Sunday we went and watched a talk by Elder Bednar called "Recognizing the Spirit." SERIOUSLY THE GREATEST EVER. I'm not sure if you can watch it outside of the mtc, but try. Because it's worth it. In it, Elder Bednar talks about figuring out if it's the holy ghost, or just your thoughts. In essence, the whole talk can be summed up by this. "Stop worrying about it. If you are doing what you're supposed to and being a good boy or girl, your steps will be guided." So I guess I just gave away the ending, but still try and find it because Elder Bednar is the coolest.
I think that's it! Hopefully when I'm in the field my emails will be a whole lot more interesting!
Send mail,
Sister Dorrance
Ps. I see Bruce Robinson around the mtc at least once a day. #wardies
