So this week was such a spiritual week! Well I guess any week at the MTC will be, but my companion was a lot more stable and I wasn't that sick so it was awesome! I got to teach my first "real Investigator" ha however real they are. Sister Marsden and I worked so well together during our lessons with our three investigators. We theoretically got one baptized and got one to not hate god anymore so that was pretty awesome. I am still getting the hang of this whole teaching thing and I am really working hard on being bold and confident. I have also been working on being an effective missionary and how to get my investigators to want to be apart of this gospel. I am a super convincing person in general, but it has been hard for me for some reason to tell my investigators what I want to tell them (yep its all a mental game). I have loved using the spirit of revelation and Sister Marsden decided to try singing a song in one of our lessons to have the spirit in there. It was like a blast from a bomb, but a spiritual blast of course. That whole lesson was so awesome. One day our teacher brother Ries wanted us to observe him and one of our elder companions as they taught him. It was such a cool experience to see from an outsiders perspective. I learned so much from that 20minutes and grew so much as a person. He also had us do door approaches it was scary, but a good learning experience for me. When it wasnt our turn we would watch from inside our classroom and you could tell Brother Ries was getting a kick out of the whole thing. He is a way good actor and I couldnt have asked for a better teacher.
We got to go to the temple this week and I was so so happy we got to go! We took lots of pictures and one of the Elders from my district is helping us get them all uploaded. Such a nice dude....elder. This week we have really come together as a District. I didnt think we would get that close, but just sitting at meals, going to firesides together and playing in the gym together has made us all really close. I love all my Elders and Sisters in my district. I am going to miss them so much. We play a game called "would you rather" (if you dont know what it is go ask someone. Anyways Elder sutton and Bosshardt and I play it all day and we just have a blast. I see the importance of a district and how much support they bring to everyone.
Have a great week everyone! I love you all and you are all in my prayers.
