Last day at the MTC 9-16-13

Dear family,

well i will keep this short because it's not p-day and we just have gym time to do laundry and pack up today. Last week at the temple we saw our branch presidents wife, she works there. Oh man she is the sweetest lady ever! We also had a really good devotional that night with Elder Martino from the 70, he focused on member missionary work and how we can work with them. Our Trc investigator on wednesday was really hard, she didn't let us in forever and  then she was kinda rude to us.. we knew she didn't believe in God, but we figured that since she had gone to church once she would have some interest, but she didn't.. she called us racist and hypocrites, so that was fun It was a good experience to know what rejection feels like :D Also we had a lesson and Elder Donaldson over mission curriculum came and sat in and it turned into a great discussion about the Atonement Mind Blown.
Sis. Rogerson and I also worked with the ZL's , Elder Vakamaelalo, and Elder Allen to give the tour to the new district so that was pretty fun, it's weird that being a week old suddenly makes you a pro around here :D. Thursday was the best day ever! Thank you all for the birthday letters and packages, it really was the best way to spend a birthday, the zone sang to me at every meal. We also had In-field orientation that day, it was kind of long, but I learned so much. Friday was mostly uneventful. Saturday we had an amazing lesson with Bro. Buahin, the spirit was amazing, especially since the day before we were all tired and couldn't focus. The Atonement and the Plan of Salvation are amazing by the way! Yesterday was also very good. Our devotional was with Brother Tanner, who helped produce 17 Miracles and Ephraim's Rescue, we got to watch some clips from Ephraim's Rescue, Dad, I think you would really like it. For film time we watched the Character of Christ. It is a devotional by Elder Bednar. it is a MTC devotional, so I don't know if it is publicly accessed, but if you can find it anywhere, WATCH IT! it is the best thing ever! Life changing, Seriously. Anyways we head out tomorrow morning and we are all kind of freaking out. Im going to miss my district and zone, but they are all coming with so theres the possibility of seeing them again out there. Talk to ya later, love ya tons.
