Today is the day! - Provo MTC

WEEKLY UPDATE

Que pasa amigos :))

    Hey heyyy! I hope everyone had a wonderful week!! My week has been crazyyy! I finished up home/online MTC and then flew out to Utah Monday morning. I LOVE flying but I didn’t love waking up at 4am to catch that flight haha! My parents flew out with me and we have been able to spend some time with my brother and my sister-in-law who live out here!! It’s been so good for me to be around them the past couple days. We ate mega delicious food (I have had so much ice cream it's bad lol) and we hiked Y mountain which is so fun, 10/10 would recommend. I love my family so much! I am so grateful that we are able to be with our families for eternity!
Guys today is my first day in person at the Provo MTC!! I will go there in just a couple hours and I am sooo excited to finally meet my companion and district in person! Honestly I am also super nervous haha, it is a totally new environment that I don’t know a lot about! If you know me you know I really dislike feeling like I don’t know things. I wanna be the best and smartest and most prepared all the time but that’s just not always possible haha. I will definitely have to work on learning humility and patience lol but how awesome is it that I get to spend the next 18 months of my life learning, studying, and following the best teacher - Jesus Christ.

    I guess I lied last week because I really don’t have any super fun or exciting things to share with you all today haha!! Please please email me anytime I love to hear thoughts/updates/anything! If I didn’t respond to you last week I am so sorry it's been crazy on my end but I promise I will be in touch soon! Also anyone who missed last week I will forward my first email, you didn't miss much haha :)

    You guys are awesome, how lucky am I to have such supportive friends and family!! I’m probablyyy gonna end every single one of my emails with a spiritual thought haha.

SPIRITUAL THOUGHT
    I wanted to talk about gratitude !! 1 Thessalonians 5:8 - “In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.” I think it is so important to find things to be thankful for. God loves each of us and is aware of our needs! I know that simply having a positive attitude will not fix a difficult situation but it can certainly make a difference. I have given myself a challenge to find something special to be grateful for each day. I want to invite each of you to join in on this challenge!! Sometimes during hard times it can be a struggle to feel like God even cares about you but I promise He does. I promise that if you take time to look for His hand in your life, you will see it! In the hardest times you can pray to feel His love. He will be there! Always! Find ways to be grateful and look for God in your life this week :) You guys are awesome!! I love you all and I will talk to you next week!!
