This week was so spiritual uplifting but my district also made it a lot of fun!!! I got into Omaha a couple of hours ago so if this email is rushed sorry. One of the best parts this week was seeing my buddy elder croft everywhere. I'm excited to get out into the field and save some souls. The mtc was good but the food could have been better. 

Monday: Monday was really fun because we went to the temple. It was super cool because I've never been to the provo temple and I love how every temple is different but all of them still are so pretty. Monday was also our p day so we played like 2 hours of sand volleyball and then did some laundry. 
 
Tuesday: after breakfast some elders (may or may not include myself) fell asleep after breakfast and the other elders decided that they were not gonna be christ like and didn't wake us up for class.  By the time one of us woke up and realized class was like 2 minutes away so we hustled to class but we were still late amd because we were late sister niu made us do wall sits for all of opening exercises. To make things even worse elder Compton decided he was gonna ask for every blessing ever and said the longest prayer of my professional church career. Then during our missionary moment elder biesinger who was doing wall sits decided to chime in on the lesson and made our wall sits even longer. Overall it was like a 5 minute wall sit. My legs felt pumped after it!! Also that day a general authority came and spoke about obedience. It was so cool to hear his talk because the spirit was so strong in the room. 

Wednesday: today was sister nius last day. Which was kinda bitter sweet because I was sad she was leaving but also grateful for all the things she has taught me about missionary work and the gospel. One of the activities she had us do was write in each other's journal what some of our spiritual gifts are which really made me put things into perspective. It made me realize that I'm a little hard on myself sometimes when I bare my testimony. 

Thursday: our sub didn't show up for an hour so they assigned us one on the fly. He was super funny and taught us lots. Then in our night class we dove into the laws and ordinances of the gospel which was super dope. I also lost my card for a fat second but good Old elder fox came in clutch and found it for me. 

Friday: elder biesinger and I had a helping others appointment which is basically like a fake lesson and they give you a score. We crushed the lesson and the guy gave us really good scores. When we told our district at dinner how good our scores were elder Carver stood up and started clapping which made the whole cafeteria give us a standing ovation. So basically elder biesinger and I are pros at teaching fake lessons to fake people haha. 

Saturday: today we also had a sub for our morning class and our sub was legit the coolest guy ever. He had these really funny sayings like "no chance". He also loves albino squirrels and the red wooded wood pecker. Shout out to elder biesingers quote of the day " God loves you so he gave you albino squirrels". There also a rule about no exercising the day before you leave so I decided to be obedient and not go workout which was kinda tough but rules are rules. Instead of working out some of the elders and I had to do laundry to get ready for transfer day. Then we had our last night class with sister Anderson and it was very good. We combined with another district and did some fake lessons. Then during the last 30 mins we all shared our testimony and it was very very spiritual. So spiritual that some of the elders cried. (Definitely not me)

Sunday: usually Sundays are very busy for missionaries but I still love them because I feel the spirit the most on them. We also had three devotionals and during the last one president porter played with army men and elder carver and I threw shade on each other. It was still a good day but also sad cause we all said goodbye to each other 

Hope you all have a great week. I would love to hear from you all and catch up on what is going on in the world. 
Love you all!!
