Mustache Week...I wore that to scare the new sisters.  It is a Sister Training Leader's tradition.
 
 
Ni Hao Mama!

Hey, it's the last P-Day!

Guess what Guess what? I got my flight plans! I leave next Monday at 3:30 am. Guess who is going with me??? Sister Williamson, we both have the same time same flights and we are freaking excited! This is Brianna's first time flying a plane so I am so lucky to be able to do it with her. Our flight leaves at 7:30 am then we arrive to Detroit Metro, MI at 12:57. Then leave Detroit Metro, MI at 1:50 and arrive in New York Laguardia, NY at 3:33 pm. I can't believe this is happening. I am soooo excited. 
 
So another exciting news. Since I am leaving early in the morning, I am sure Wendy doesn't want to get up that early, I asked Permission from the MTC district to Skype with you and they accepted.  Because I am Deaf and can't hear on the phone, they have special exemptions for people like me. So I can Skype with you on Sunday Night. I am free between 5:30-7 so let me know when it's the best time to Skype with you. Send me all the information I need to know to contact you and the time and anything else you could think of. I am SOOO excited to see my hot mama. I only have 20 minutes with you on Skype just so you know but 20 minutes will be so worth it.
 
Me with two of the new sisters

I am starting to pack, I will be sending a box or two back to you this week since my suitcases have to be 50 pounds. I am so happy and I can't believe it's happening for real. I really can't wait. No I did not find my gray skirt :(. My back and neck has been hurting lately but I think it's because I sit all day in class and breakfast, lunch, and dinner. I think I'll be better in New York since I'll be walking a lot. Yeah, please send the vitamins. I think it could help me.

New Sisters and me
 
This past week has been one of the hardest weeks I had to face.  All of the wonderful sisters are leaving.  Yesterday was hard because while Sister Strong was being interviewed by Brother Hardy (1st Counselor) President Teng came into the room knowing that I wasn't being interviewed. He talked to me as a father would talk to a daughter. He knows my struggles and gave me advice. He said the struggles were beyond the line. Then he looked into my eyes and talked about some personal struggles he knows I am going through.   President Teng cried with me and said, "The Lord is in Charge. I don't know God's plan, but no matter what happens, you'll be ok." I prayed for comfort and peace overwhelmed me and I could feel God's love so strongly. I know that when we face trials we will be okay because we are not alone. A scripture just immediately popped into my head after I prayed and it was as if the Lord was talking to me, "I will not leave you comfortless; I will come to you." (John 14:18) Now looking back to this MTC, I saw so many miracles and how the Lord has not left me for one day, one hour, one minute, and even one second. He has always been with me. He has answered every prayer through feelings of peace and guiding me where I needed to be. Through scriptures, through nature, through others. The gospel is very powerful and it does heal the questioning soul. The Lord loves all of us. I smile everyday because of the Lord's love for me and for all of us.


Sister Jenkins and me
We are unique!


So yesterday Jean A. Steveson came and spoke to us in R.S. and guess what happened? She asked for volunteers to bear their testimony about the Savior's love. I raised my hand and I was the only one raising my hand. When I stood up, my mind went blank. I was like, "What the heck did I do?" Then all of the sudden I bore my testimony how I know that the Savior is going to heal my ears. I know that with our faith and desire He will help us. I went on talking about how I know that the Savior will be able to help us overcome our trials, will heal our souls, will comfort us when we turn to Him. I sat down. Lots of people found me out of nowhere and thanked me. I know that was the Spirit helping me. Looking around me, the miracle is so simple and small, but can mean something big. We just have to look closer and we will find it. I love this gospel so much. I love the Savior so much! This week I have found the Savior's love for me and I will continue to improve everyday!




So all the sisters that were going to be reassigned got their calls last Thursday. Sister Akita left for Odgen on Friday morning. Sister Sorenson left this morning to Tacoma, Washington. Sister Morris and Sister Price left this morning to St. George. They should be there now preaching the gospel. I really hope you can stalk them haha. They should be there for 6 weeks before leaving for Taiwan if their visas show up. Sister Wright and Sister Griffin are leaving tomorrow to SLC South. My two angels that really helped me are Sister Price and Sister Griffin. Before they left, we did a Tight Pant song with our Skinny jeans on and leggings. I will send the video to you when I figure it out. I miss Sister Price so much but I know she'll do great in St. George and Taiwan. I am really really going to miss Sister Griffin. She and I got soooo close with each other. Those two girls have left so we will see what happens.  They are legendary in my heart. Sister Griffin wanted to say that she loves you.

I finally left the MTC for a day and in the car for the first time in 8 weeks!!!!

I love you mom, I will write you a handwritten letter soon. I can't wait to see your face on Sunday night! It'll be super awesome!!! I am sooooooo freaking excited! You have no idea. So I can't find my cord to my camera that charges. :(   So I hope I can find a charger to my camera in New York in a store. New York has everything hehe. 


Love,
You're my best friend! I hope you know that! Love you all the way from the MTC and back
