Hey everyone!! One week down in the MTC only 2 more to go! I
really can't believe I survived this first week. This week has felt like it has
been forever long! Honestly nothing exciting has really happened. Some
days seem to go by so fast and others seem to go by so slow. Each day there are
so many classes and meetings. Today is such a relief to be able to just take a
break from all that stuff. Wednesday was for sure a shocker. But now that
things have settled down I am feeling a lot better about this place. It's a
little overwhelming learning all the new things but hopefully by week 3 I'll be
able to feel more confident. I honestly cannot wait to get to
Pennsylvania! Everyone in my district is honestly the best. The Elders are so
fun but still spiritually strong. I get along with all of the sisters and we
spend so much time together talking. I love my companion, she is the sweetest
person ever! Her name is Sister Reynolds and neither of us are any good at
making decisions. So I'll just say that it takes a while for us to get
anywhere. Sunday was honestly probably my favorite day so far. We
watched a devotional by Elder Bednar. He talked about the character of Christ
and turning outwards when we would normally turn inwards. It really gave me a
new perspective and I really want to become better. Sister Reynolds and I
taught our first person yesterday and let's just say it was a good learning
experience. We have another lesson tomorrow so let's hope that it goes a lot
better. From this short week being here I have seen so much growth in myself. I
have felt my confidence grow and my testimony has been strengthened so much. I
have loved being able to read the Book of Mormon. It has given me so much
strength while I have been here. This week I have for sure relied a lot on the
scripture 1 Nephi 4:6. I have really relied on the spirit so much this week. I
had an experience when we were teaching that I honestly didn't know what to
say. I just opened my mouth and all of a sudden I knew exactly what to say and
the spirit filled my mouth. I can testify that the spirit guides you in all things.
I know that as we strive to have the spirit in our lives, we will be able to be
led and continue on the path to eternal life.
I love you all!
Sister Larsen
