Made it to Provo! Yesterday, I said goodbye to my loved ones and worldly possessions to officially serve the Lord whole-heartedly for the next 18 months. It was hard but I know it's not forever and I'm so excited for the blessings I will see for the rest of my life because of this decision. I flew with about 10 other missionaries all headed to the MTC as well and got to meet a few of them. They're all amazing people! Today is my p-day but it really feels like this whole week has been a series of p-days lol. I haven't had a normal day at the MTC yet but so far I'm really enjoying it!
We had an amazing devotional last night about developing the character of Christ and how when we turn outward to love and serve others before ourselves like the Savior does, we see more growth and blessings for ourselves than if we always focus on ourselves and our needs. Kind of an interesting paradox but it's so true! I challenge everyone to find someone to selflessly serve this week :)
We got to go to the temple today!! The temple is my happy place. Forget Disney, the House of the Lord really is the happiest place on earth.
I don't have a ton to say this week but the spirit is so strong here and the mountains always seem like they're close enough to reach out and touch them, it's so pretty and an amazing example of God's love for His children. I love my district and the sisters I room with, and I love being surrounded by disciples of Christ 24/7.
Love you all!
