Bonjour!! (Week 2 MTC)

Date: November 28, 2015
Area: Provo MTC
Companion: Sister Kinder

Well I thought that the MTC is my place. But I am ready to go to France. That didn't take long. The MTC has its strong points and I know it is making me a better missionary, but I want to teach real people. Problem is you can't do that without preparing. So I am happy I am here. I speak a lot of french now. It is all coming back from high school.I thought about it a lot and San Clemente High School should really start teaching gospel words. It would've really helped

But me and my companion talk in French from 6 in the morning until noon, and then some. The quickest way to learn French is to speak it. We probably sound like kindergartners, but it gets done. 

We have an investigator right now who is actually an investigator. His name is Brian and he is awesome. I didn't think they would give us trainees a real one but they did and it has made all the studying so worth it. The feeling of the Spirit bearing witness to you and someone you are teaching that what you are saying is true is the greatest experience in the world. He just committed to reading the book of Mormon. So even though i am still in training, I still feel like a missionary and it is the greatest calling in the world.

I miss college like crazy and the people I met there and I miss home, but every day I am reminded of why I am supposed to be here. When I first broke my hip I thought it might have been a sign it wasn't my time to go but I was so wrong. There is no place else that would be better for me to be right now.

My companion is amazing and Dallin H. Oaks came to speak to us and that was amazing! And we made 358,000 meals for hungry kids on Thanksgiving. The days go by slow but the weeks fast. And France will be here before I know it. I love being a missionary. It is a great experience.

I know this gospel is true and I am so grateful for it. It changes my whole perspective on everything. it lets me see the bigger picture :)

Je vous aime ( I love you all!) 
Think about you often.
