First week in MTC

Hey everyone! i miss you all and love you so much! so...on my tablet, the groups dont pop up so i basically lost all of my list of people to email so i am so very sorry if i missed one of your family members that were supposed to be on the list. but i tried to go off the top of my head.

so the MTC is great. crazy story but before my roommates dropped me off here, we were almost in a really really bad wreck. we were literally inches away from being sandwhiched. Im not gonna lie..and im not being dramatic but i really did think i was gonna be in the hospital instead of the MTC lol. My suitcase flew in the car and hit taylors seat. I know the Lord was protecting me and needed me in the MTC so that was just a testimony to me that I am doing the right thing and thatHeavenly Father is going to take care of me. Oh and whenI got off the plane, my suitcase wheel broke and i was welcomed into the SLC airport by people shouting 
welcome home to all of these missionarys. so that was weird lol. The spirit at the MTC is so awsome. as we were in a welcoe conference, we were singing the song "Bringthe world his truth" and it was the coolest thing ever to sing "We are now the lords missionarys" instead of "we will be the lords missionarys". I have an amazing district and they are just like me. We are all going to Edmonton so that was really awesome! They like to make fun of me because i guess i say the word "surely" alot.. its funny what you notice about other people. We call ourselves the "quad"...Sister Bledsoe and I are like twins. Our lives parallel each other even down to having boyfriends out on a mission in GHANA. cool huh? my companion is cool and i gotlucky to have her and her name is Sister Stastny. The MTC is hard but if it wasnt hard, it wouldnt be worth it I am learning SO much.I have a hard time not thinking about my family because I love you guys sooooo soooo much. the other night our president was like " i have a strong feeling one of maybe a couple of your guys family is being taken care of and is so blessed because of you serving a mission. I just needed to say that" it was the best thing I've ever heard. In that same meeting me and Sister Stastny got called as sacrament greeters so that was awesome and funny. We were  both thinking like"is this a joke" but it was just a testimony to me to enjoy the little things in life and relax.
The food here is great. Lol sounds crazy but the salads here are like delux. we have taught people here (already!) and its amazing to feel Gods love for his children and be blessed with the ability to see complete strangers through his eyes. I love serving the Lord and I can feel him strengthening me when i devote myself to the service. Its hard but so rewarding and i know that this is the lLords work  and when i forget myself and go to work like president hinkley said, ill be blessed and those around me will be blessed. The Lord is amazin and he takes care of his children and i truly have a testimony of that. I was nervous for fast sunday in the MTC because i heard it was hard but it was so amazing..testimony meeting was the coolest thing ever and ive never felt the spirit so strong. Its awesome to see how the gospel of jesus christ has touched so many varieties of people. From Arizona jazz band people to southern college athletes, the gospel touches us all and changes our life and brings us closer to Jesus Christ. Life is hard but its harder for those who dont know have the full gospel. i love you all SOSOSOmuch and thank and pray to heavenly father for each of one of you. Thank you all for your love and support... I hope and know that the Lord is blessing you all! Keep writing and keep me in touch because i love hearing from you! ps...i will try not towrite a book next time lol.

Hey everyone!!! I hope that everyone has been doing great and has had an amazing week :)  This week has been great here in Beaumont :)) Beaumont is actually the 5th fastest growing town/city here in the whole country of Canada so that's cool! But we were able to drive out for a little bit and do some service in this awesome greenhouse!! it was so much fun to be there in the country and help this woman with all her flowers! It was awesome because in church we were talking about the three gardens that have added purpose to this life: Garden of Eden, Garden of Gethsemane, and Garden of the Empty tomb. So every time I see a person's garden, I'm reminded of those three life changing gardens in our own life <3 this week really picked up the pace for the work here and it was so awesome to see the Lord's hand in His work. We have a new investigator and we committed her to baptism! She is so awesome and is truly one of those that are prepared for us. I'm so excited t...

hi everyone!!! I hope that you have all had a great week and are safe from all these natural disasters!  This last week was good :) it was very busy and its going to get even more busy with the 2 baptisms coming up this weekend and 12 preset appointments we have. Its going to be a fun week! Our investigators are doing great and we are so pumped for this next Saturday!!! so life is good for everyone :) nothing really crazy happened this week. We have really grown close to the woman in the hospital and it was so cool to see how much she has grown. The first time we visited her, she was hiding the Book of Mormon around her roommates and was embarrassed of her religion. This last time we went and visited her, she had us bring extra copies of the Book of Mormon so she could write her testimony in them and give it to them! It was so awesome :)) I am so sorry but I really cant remember what even happened this week so here are some pictures. Oh we had Zone Conference!! That...

Happy 4th of July everyone! I'll try to keep some of the Star Spangled Banner in my mind today but after this weekend, O Canada is engraven in my head forever.   😂 Transfers came and I'm staying here in Beaumont and getting a new companion!!! Her name is Sister Patsy so I am so excited to get to know her and see her tomorrow!! :) :)) :) ):)) This week flew by. Time always flies!  We had a very busy weekend with Canada Day!! We were able to go to our wards pancake breakfast and a lot of the community came. It was a really neat experience to be there for their flag raising and all of their festivities. At the pancake breakfast, we noticed this family that we had knocked on their door. When we knocked on their door, we started going into a little discussion and nothing came out of it. Well they were there!!! At the pancake breakfast!!! And they recognized us and they started asking more and more questions and we taught them the first lesson right then and there in the m...
