Great Lessons

Hi all!

My week has gone by at the speed of light! On Sunday, instead of our regular Relief Society class, half of all the women in the MTC gathered in a very large meeting room. We were very blessed to hear a devotional with all of the Relief Society presidency, the Young Women's presidency, and the Prophet (Russell M. Nelson).

This was super cool because we got to hear about some of the divine nature of women, such as having an enhanced moral compass to better discern truth and error. This is really cool to see in action with my mom, my sister, and other women in my life.

On Sunday night, all the missionaries came together to listen to a special music devotional and one of the most talented musicians came in. STEVEN SHARP NELSON!!!! First of all, wow, he is amazing with the cello, and second, his testimony in Jesus Christ and how his mission experiences changed him are just amazing.

Classes this week were awesome, but not much happened. We are going from learning our weather and favorite activities to bearing our testimonies, back to learning our directions and food.

For our Tuesday devotional, we had a guest appearance from the General Relief Society President, Camille J. Johnson. It was really cool to hear her talk about having hope through hard times. I highly suggest all of you read it, even if you are not a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, it still is a strong testament of Jesus Christ and how to become a stronger person in your testimony and in your beliefs.

Anyways, below are some pictures taken last week and some taken from this week. I know it's a lot of pictures, sorry!!!
