I'm loving the MTC. The elders and sisters in my district are amazing! They are so good at keeping the subject on track, but they don't mind a little bit of a tangent here and there. Everyone just works together so well and I feel so blessed to have all of them in my district. My companion is Sister Bone, she is from Palmyra, New York. We work together really well! She has a really refreshing point of view and it is extremely similar to mind, which is somewhat/REALLY hard to find here. Today with one of our "investigators," he said that we did the best in sticking to the doctrine and welcoming the Spirit; however, we had a prompting to invite him to get baptized and neither one of us did it! I will say that we felt a little bummed we didn't follow it, but mainly we just laughed at ourselves.
One of my teachers was a young ambassador!! Whahhhaaaaaaattttt? Anyway, I walked in and I recognized that he was brother of one of my counselors from my first year. That was so awesome to find out, and to be able to talk to him about singing real quick. He's just like Brother Briggs, he compliments everyone and what they say and acts like what everyone says is inspiration, yet it doesn't feel phony so it's awesome.
It truly is awesome being able to talk about the gospel everyday here. It's like "finally, let's talk about something that actually applies to our lives!" You know what I mean?
Mom: My blanket from Target is AMAZING! It's not quite like my comforter, but the knitting is so comfy and I'm so glad that I picked that one out because it's heaven. My hamper on the other hand is a completely different story.... We should have gone with the bag. But that's okay, I'll deal with that in Georgia. Also, guess who I saw today?! I saw Preston! Oh my goodness. I had no idea he was here in the MTC the same time as me! And he didn't know I was serving a mission! Ha! Go figure. Anyway, we luckily saw each other at breakfast and we're hoping to see each other again when we have cameras so we can take a picture together. It was really awesome seeing a familiar face. He says hi to the family.
Dad: I'm not one for waterworks either, so I completely understand where you are coming from.
The days are long, but I love it! There's just so much to do and learn and I love the people in my district, which makes it so much easiy I'll send you pictures next week, I don't have that many right now and we're taking some on Sunday at the temple and you can see all who is in my district.
Out of time, gotta go!
Much love,
Sister Jocelyn
