hi hi hi,
one of the coolest things i learned this week was during my study. i focused a lot on the atonement and the resurrection of Jesus Christ (because easter), and learned some amazing things. but one thing i noticed that i havent ever before is what christ focused on after his resurrection-when he visited his apostles. in the short amount of time he spent with them, he emphasized sharing the gospel to every people. "teach all nations" "preach the gospel to every creature" "repentence and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations" and my fav: "feed my sheep". That is his commission to his disciples, after all that happened, in spite of anything else he could share. and the cool thing is that we dont have to serve missions to do that-we can do so much wherever we are, doing whatever we are doing!
its been another INCREDIBLE week here at the mtc. actually-probably the best one so far. because GUESS WHAT?!?! we're actually the coolest zone here, and this week we proved it:) dallin h oaks came to the devo on easter morning-which of course was incredible (more on that later), and THEN HE CAME TO OUR SACRAMENT MEETING. OUR sacrament meeting-out of everyone in the whole mtc. it was the craziest cause theres like 20 of us missionaries, and then the branch presidency, and then the Oaks!! so amazing. they didnt address us, but they sat with us, and listened with us, it was (slightly nerve-wracking, but mostly) so cool!!! after, he shook all of our hands. i have never seen anyone so full of light. then he took a couple minutes to talk about how mission calls are assigned, and what a testimony builder it was to be reminded that they truly are from God!! it was cool+reassuring to hear that they do not take any calls lightly, esp the ones that are sent to southeast asia. so basically, love love love the Oaks. They are the cutest!!
the worst part of the week: realized that im already sick of all the clothes i have lolz. LUCKILY Im HEADED TO CAMBODIA IN 11 DAYS (so thats the craziest thing i think ive ever heard), and can get more clothes there (#missionblessings #senioritisisreal)

The language is super hard hahaha but wow the fact that i know anything at all testifies that Christ is real, and is aware of his children, and he truly blesses us with the gift of tongues. I have been able to study more and learn more this week than i have any of the other weeks, and i know that as we show God something is important to us by giving all of our effort, he will bless us with the ability to learn/be able to do it.
Have a great week!! Praise God because he is so good:) love you all:)
