life here at the mtc just has me exhausted! haha but i love it here so much!
i
want to start off telling you guys that i am already the class clown in
my district, because i am constantly doing things to embarrass myself,
nothing new right? haha. i have been laughing constantly here, i love
it! I have fallen up the stairs, ripped my shirt, i fell off the top
bunk on the bunk beds, and have been tackled down by a mob of elders
that weren't paying attention, and i got tackled into the wall on
accident, hahaha, luckily i have been a good sport about it. haha,
everyone just makes fun of me and laughs at me haha, i must get that
from my mom;) haha!
But i love my district, we have all
become so close and they are like my family. We are all so different,
but we all are here for one purpose and we all have such a good time
together! My companions name is sister smith, and she is so funny, we
get along real good!
Her and i got called as the sister
training leaders so we help all the girls feel welcome and just report
to the branch president any problems that are occurring!
i
have learned so much, it hasn't been easy because learning to teach the
gospel in simple terms is harder than i ever thought! i have a new
profound respect for those missionaries learning languages, because it
is already hard for me i can't imagine learning a language! Good thing
its not the missionary that converts the people its the spirit!
i
can see how people call this place the spiritual prison, you literally
wake up, get ready, do studies some more studies and some more studies,
eat breakfast, study some more, work out, study some more, teach some
investigators, then eat, then study.. i think you get the point. But the
spirit is so strong and i love it so much, i have learned so much while
i have been here!!
I want to share something i
learned that will stay with my forever. Christ is the ultimate example
of reaching out to others, no matter the trial he is going through,
instead of feeling bad for himself and turning inward and becoming
selfish, he always reaches outward to others in love and service! He
loves everyone even though others may not love him back. I want to
invite all who actually read this to focus on being more like that in
their daily lives, life can be so hard and we may feel like all we want
is people to feel bad for us and help us, and do stuff for us, that's
how i was feeling last week until i heard this talk that David a Bednar
gave a couple years ago to the missionaries, and i am going to try to
focus on others and what i can do to help them and serve them every time
i feel like turning inward and focusing on myself. i invite you all to
join me in doing this! i know by doing this the lord will bless us and
help us with what we are need of!
i love guys and i can feel
your prayers! They have helped me with this week and the hard adjustment
of everything! Thanks to all those that send my dear sisters, they
brighten my day every time i get one and get the chance to read it!
have a good rest of your week! Keep smiling.
Love,
Sister Grossgebauer! (ahhhhh so crazy to be called a sister haha)
