Week 4 I Learned How to Twerk

Hey Everyone!

I can't believe it's already been a month! Time is flying by. Earlier this week, a new group of elders moved into our residency building and started pranking everyone. It was all fun and games until someone started throwing little fireworks into the showers. For those of you who have served a mission, you know the shower is a very sacred time. After that line was crossed, a few of us had a chat with the elders and we haven't heard a peep from them since haha. On Sunday I was able to meet with Dave LeSueur, the president of the MTC. I kept it low key but I was fangirling big time. Everyone in the presidency is so awesome. I'm bummed that I lost all my pictures from this week, but I tried to squeeze a few in last night for you guys. One of them is with my best friend in here, Elder Van Gijsel from Belgium. He is the man. He already speaks 4 languages fluently so he has been a big help with my Armenian. Anyways, everything is going great! Love you all!

Some Highlights:

• Watching the new Book of Mormon series 

• Ballroom dance lessons

• Going to the temple

• Volleyball of course 

SPIRITUAL THOUGHT

This week I really tried to focus on stress management. Sometimes it's hard to stay positive & clear when you're feeling overwhelmed. I have been trying to find a way to minimize the negative effects of having a large work load. This week I made a promise to myself that I would say one gratitude prayer every single day. IT HAS BEEN A GAME CHANGER. Every day, whenever I feel like I need it, I say a quick prayer where all I do is tell God what I'm grateful for. It is such a simple thing but it has made an enormous difference to my week. It's so cool how the more gratitude you express, the more God blesses you in return. I hope everyone will try it out this week!
