WOW what a week! This week truly for the most part has been super good. I love it here, even when I’m having a hard day. This week has been packed with classes, devotionals, lots of practice lessons and some awesome bonding time with my district. I am learning so much about how to teach in a good and friendly way and I am learning how I feel the spirit.
This week has gone by so fast I can’t even tell you! Just yesterday I was the sister missionary that was able to help a few new sisters arriving at the MTC. I honestly wish I had some more time here… I am truly happy. The thing that has stood out to me this week is the feeling of the constant companion of the spirit. This week has sure tested me but I truly feel that the spirit and the love of god has made my week easier.
I had a super hard Teaching Lesson this week. My companion and I prepared for a long time making sure that we felt good with what we had specifically for him. We felt so good going into it but it was NOT good. The entire time he was telling us that what we had to teach didn’t matter and that we weren’t teaching him what he wanted us to hear. We tried to talk to him but we couldn’t get a thought across without him interrupting in a very harsh and rude way. Long story short it was so sad and hard. With a few tears in our eyes my companion and I just hugged and talked about it. We felt like we truly did the right thing and we did our best. We did not know how to handle it and talked to the teachers. They actually told us that we did the right thing and that this one person is just harsh and mean. in the real field we would not go back to him. It was hard but after thinking and praying about it I learned a good lesson. Not everyone will be a person that will be ready to be taught and that is okay. It is nothing that we did but it taught me how to better deal with harsh people in the field. I am grateful for this experience.
Overall, this has been a tough and awesome week( it’s possible lol) I am so grateful to be here and to be learning about this gospel. I know that God loves each of us and I have felt his love this week. Love you all!
