Everything is going uphill (like really though, 'cause my classroom is on the fifth floor my legs are getting strong!). Classes are sometimes long but they are always very spiritual and at least somewhat entertaining. The Elders make sure of that haha. I don't think I really would have talked to many ofthe people that are in my district if we had not met at the MTC. Most of them were the sporty people in school, but we all share many things in common. For example, at any time of day, one of them will start singing a song from a musical like Les Miserables or High School Musical. Princess Bride and Nacho Libre are quoted daily. Sister S is super upbeat and will start rapping about anything that comes to her mind and Sister M always provides the beat for her and joins in. It is really cute to see. Sister M's father is actually also the producer for most of the LDS Bible films so she always gives us background info on how scenes were created and little miracles that happened when they were in the process of making the films. Elder P volunteers himself to lead the music every time there is a song and even when there is not going to be, he still volunteers. Elder M is always singing from musicals as well (and dances even though he is not supposed to). At first I thought Elder D was the sterotypical high school jock, but after a few days, he joiined Elder B as the comedic entertainment in our little group by doing impressions of different characters from movies and coming up with the funniest jokes. Elder B also wears a tie with a hear stitched on the back (the tie was given to him by his girlfriend), and Elder F (AKA Elder Huck Finn) is the tallest of them all, and the shyest but he is also quite funny. So that leaves me and Sister L.
Sister L [my companion from Southern California, going to Washington, D.C.) and I have gotten a lot closer so that is really nice :) She likes to dance so she is a little sad because that is not something that is encouraged at the MTC but she keeps up her flexibility (she is amazing!). She also really loves panda bears (fun fact). Today I was able to go to the temple and do a session with her and Sister S and Sister M. The temple in Provo is beautiful! There was such a sweet spirit there. I love to be able to leave the stress of the MTC behind and go to the temple or walk around it.
I have started to really enjoy the first chapter in the Book of Mormon. before, I had always skimmed through it because I had heard it so many times, but then we started to really talk about the significance of it and the vision he saw, it's so cool! Lehi's decision to follow the Lord made it possible for us to have the Book of Mormon. It just shows me that God really does know us and that He will always find someoneto move His work forward. My testimony has grown a lot in such little time andI am striving to continue to let it grow. I love you all like Crazy! Sorry if my writing is a little bit crazy, I just didnt' have a lot of time today to write...LOVE YOU!
