Hey Everyone!
The time is upon us! I can't believe we are actually heading out this week. I have loved the MTC but I am really excited to get out of here and get to work. Since being here, I feel like I have grown so much. I never want to change who I am, but I feel like God has allowed me to see potential in myself I have never seen before. He guides me in everything that I do. Really quick, I have a funny story to tell you guys. When we were teaching over Skype yesterday, I tried to tell this woman that I was SUPER excited to go to Armenia. Something was definitely up because after my comment, she didn't stop laughing for the rest of the lesson. I asked my teacher about the word afterwards and he told me that I used the word for "sexually excited" haha! That poor Armenian grandma... I'm still shook about it.
"But they fought for their lives, and for their wives, and for their children; therefore they exerted themselves and like dragons did they fight." (Mosiah 20:11)
This scripture gets me pumped so it has been my motto throughout the MTC. I don't have a wife or any kids yet, but it makes me think about all the people that I love. It makes me think about you back home, as well as the people of Armenia. Everyday is a fight to be the absolute best missionary that I can be. I know that I wouldn't be where I am right now if it wasn't for all of you. Thinking of the people that mean the most to me is what pushes me everyday to be my best. Even on my hardest days, I feel so blessed to be able to serve!
I think about all of the people out there that need to hear about the church. One of the most important things the gospel gives you is resiliency. I think that resiliency comes from perspective. Eternal perspective is what we need in this life to be happy. It gives us hope. It gives us comfort. I don't know how people can live without it, because life can be so dang hard. Everyone will go through trials that will completely stop them in their tracks and they won't know if they can carry on anymore. I know if you have the truth this church gives us, that you can get through anything. People think the gospel is complicated but it really is so simple. I can't wait to get out into the world now and share that with the people of Armenia. I know it is going to be a test, but God will strengthen me and I will continue to keep you in my heart always!
