This week has been full of excitement and worry. I was very worried about taking a flight all alone. I felt myself praying a lot more about this one moment that was going to happen than I usually do about anything. I sought many ways of comfort. From my parents, from the scriptures, and from General conference talks. And I remember as I prayed I received my answer to my prayers. And I knew that I was going to OK. This comfort helped me pushed through the times that I was worried and the times I was going make a mistake. But I felt his love as he push me to go a little further. To go and do.

I love the MTC. That simple fact cannot be stated enough, but I can say why. Everywhere you go the spirit is there and it teach you different things in different place at different times. And each missionary here goes through that every day and it's amazing! Every time I hear someone else's testimony I feel mine become stronger. I have also noticed that when I act upon what the spirit is telling me,  I could see more Missionaries sharing. Something that I am learning here is this gospel has always been preaching and teaching the word of God to his people. This is something that I have not been the best at but something that I am looking to improve as I grow closer to Christ.

I know that Jesus Christ is my redeemer, and that He loves me and because He loves He has done everything for me that allows me to stand back up and for it again. Because of who He is I love Him and His children. "Behold I am a disciple of Jesus Christ the son of God. I have been called of Him to declare among his people so that they may have eternal life." 3 Nephi 5:13 

Ps this is the first scripture that I have done completely from memory so it may not be perfect.
