What a week this has been!! I'm still loving it here at the MTC!!! First off, I officially leave the MTC on October 5!!! I'm so excited to go out into the field! I am going to miss the MTC a lot though!! But I am so excited to go to Missouri!! It's going to be so sad saying good bye to all of my new friends that has become basically my family away from home!! The elders have literally become like my brothers and the sisters obviously have become like my sisters!! I am going to miss them so much!! We have great times together!!!
The ice cream is still amazing!!! I love it so much!! It makes my day every Sunday and every Wednesday!! It is the best ice cream I have ever eaten! Maybe that's because the food here isn't amazing so when we get ice cream its like a huge blessing!!
So one of my teachers, Brother Elg invited us to do something one day in class and it was absolutely amazing!! He invited us to study about the atonement!! It was so beautiful! He gave us 10 minutes of class and it was by far one of my favorite days! I would invite you to do it as well! Write down your feelings about it! It WILL change your life!! That same day Sister Swallow invited us to go downstairs BY OURSELVES!! That never happens! We ALWAYS have to be with our companions! So we went into individual rooms (we still had to be right next to each other) and we just prayed! She gave us 15 minutes to gain our personal revelation! It was something that i will never forget! The spirit was so strong! I came out crying! And something that was crazy, is that when we in the rooms, the hall is usually super busy, well that 15 minutes we were in our rooms praying.. NO BODY came down that hall!! It was so cool!! AMAZING!!
One day I was having a harder day, and during class Sister Swallow came up to me and my companions and was like how did you feel your discussion went with Debi? I was scared out of my mind, we kind of just answered, we thought it went okay. We didn't talk about the things we wanted to, but it went okay! Anyways then we went on to tell us that she was able to watch our discussion live!! WHAT?!?!? Anyways, I was still scared and she looked at me and she was like don't be scared!! There is no reason to be, it was and amazing lesson! If I could I would use that one as an example on what it should look like! So that really helped boost my confidence, and helped me on a rough day!
So onto our investigators! Lucie COMMITTED TO BAPTISM!! It was the most amazing feeling EVER!!! The spirit was so strong!! With those investigators, we don't know if they are members, inactive, or nonmembers. We are pretty sure that Lucie is a nonmember! So that was just super amazing!! Also Debi committed as well!! It was amazing! Times like those remind me why I am here and it makes it so worth it!
You're probably wondering how I almost died!! Well one day we were getting ready for class to start (we were early, that was a miracle) anyways so I was talking to sister Roundy and we started dying of laughter! Well as i was standing up, i was like oh i need a tissue, well my nose started bleeding. Yes I am going to start talking about blood so if you don't want to read it just skip it! ;) Anyways so i ran to the bathroom with my sweet companions running after me. It was the worst bloody nose I've ever had in my life! It was constant for 10 straight minutes!! I was so sick after that and I really thought I was going to die!!! That's my story on how I almost died! Sorry if I let anyone down!
Sister Swallow has the same water bottle as I do!! She named her's though so it's super funny. Her water bottles name is Heidi! So obviously i had to name mine to! Mine is named Drodee!! A sister in my district also named hers its Drodo! Yeah so that's the picture! I love Sister Swallow! She is just amazing and one of my favorite people ever! I am really going to miss her!!
Yeah we went to the urgent care on Sunday....
haha Don't worry it wasn't for me! It was for my companion sister Soutas, she wasn't good at all and some weird things were going on, so we went. Come to find out she is okay! But she is getting better now! I felt like Repunzel getting out of her tower when we left the MTC grounds!! It was an adventure!
We got to watch 17 Miracles on Sunday!! That was super cool!!! I love that!!
I am officially known as Sister Pineapple! But I love it!
I'm so grateful for all you do for me!! Thank you for your support!!! I love you all!! Have a great week!! I'LL BE IN MISSOURI NEXT WEEK!!!!!
Love always,
Sister Clark
