This past week at the MTC has been great! I have learned so much. We have class for about 6 hours each day, and I love it. My companion Sis. Rogerson is from North Carolina. We all have a progressing investigator, who also happens to be our teacher.. Bro. Smith is one of our teachers and Dan is our investigator. Things with him are going alright we had a rough first lesson, but thats because we didn't know anything, but the good thing is that we can always do better! He doesn't really see a need for the gospel in his life, which is hard for us to help him see that for him it would help him so much. Bro. Buahin is our other teacher, he is amazing. He's from Ghana, and his accent is so cool. He really knows how to bring the spirit and is willing to teach us what we need, and not necessarily what was planned for the day. The spirit here at the Mtc is amazing, we pray so much, but it is so good.
Yesterday was kind of a struggle, both Sis. Rogerson and I were pretty discouraged about Dan and were just having a stressful day. I broke down while we did a little role play with Bro. Sebesta( another teacher) part of it was the spirit, but part of it was I was just at the end of my rope. Im surprised that I didnt break down in our lesson with Dan last night. After class though, we both received blessings from the Elders, which are so awesome. We are both doing much better today. Just glad its P-day and we get a little break.
We get to go to the Temple today which I am so excited for. we also went for a temple walk on Sunday, I am attaching pictures of that. I think I've finally gotten used to my District, they finally broke my shell and I'm my usual weird self.. No big deal.
So Sundays here are really interesting.. its kinda strange not having a 3 hour block, Sis. Rogerson and I are the Sister Training Leaders, so we got to go to branch council, then we have Relief Society with all the sisters at the Mtc. Before that though we have Music and the Spoken Word. Those were both really good. I actually saw Brianna Goodale, and then later that day we got a picture, so I think she will send that to Becca, I didn't have my camera with me. We didn't have Sacrament til 3:15, but we have that as a branch, which is our zone. There are 2 districts going to Redlands, so there are 16 of us, then there was a district with half going to Boise and half to Portland. That zone left yesterday and also this morning. Which reminds me, we get to leave next tuesday. wake up and leave at 3. that should be fun :D then our flight is at 8:30.. Back to Sunday.. That night we had a devotional with Brother Heaton, he's over admin here. It was really good. before that I went to Choir practice.. I guess that's what happens when all the girls in your district sing. It was really good though, even if I cant sing, I do better when I am with altos and I can match them, so Sis. Rogerson helps me out. I know there's probably more to say, but let me tell ya, Im pretty scatterbrained. Just a little stressed, but I am doing so much better. I love you all! I miss you guys a ton. and I know I don't have everyone on here, so I guess mom if you could see who I didn't get and forward that on, that would be great!
Love, Sister Kellee Gardner
