First off - Elder Andersen came to the MTC this last week for our devotional! Right when he entered the room and we all stood, the Spirit poured in and testified that he is a true apostle of God!! It was the most sure thing I've ever felt. Sister and Elder Andersen both gave devotionals that were spiritually lead and so moving! They spoke on repentance and stressed how important it is to be repenting daily.
The main theme of the week, and the MTC, seems to always be obedience - 'obedience brings blessings and exact obedience brings miracles'. I know as we put all of our faith in Heavenly Father, our obedience is blessed so much!
Sister Rasmussen and I taught many people this week and they are the greatest moments as we become friends with all those we teach! I can see myself improving so much in all aspects and my weaknesses are becoming so much stronger. I love this work and the Spirit that this Gospel brings!
The Elders in our district almost burned their room down with waterproof matches, luckily nothing happened haha. I have made so many crazy memories here with the people I love, from always quoting Robin Williams and The Emperor's New Groove, to getting excited when we see babies and food haha. I have grown so close to my district and I can't wait for our road trip when we're all home. They are the strongest and most genuine people I've ever met.
For our last Sunday here we all sang Nearer My God To Thee in English and in Tongan, and it was the most amazing Spirit as we sang our testimonies in another language! I love the MTC with all my heart and all the amazing teachers and people here! There is no place I'd rather be, and I'm so excited to head to Wisconsin tomorrow!
I hope you all have a great week, ask me anything you'd like:)
Love, Sister Davis
- quote of the week is a French poem about Christ that Holland shared in a devotional a while ago:
' "Come to the edge" He said,
"We can't, we're afraid!" they responded.
"Come to the edge" He said,
" We can't, we will fall!" they responded."Come to the edge" He said,
And so they came.
And He pushed them.
And they flew.'
