MTC Week 5

Dear Family,

This has been another lovely week at the MTC! I can't believe time is going this fast. It makes me crazy to think about it. Our Phii Thais left for Thailand yesterday! We will be joining them in just 4 short weeks. AHHHHHHH!!!!!!!! I'm feeling good though.

I finally got to see Elder Sahagun again! We ran into each other a couple times actually. I saw him this morning at breakfast and he said, "Hey, so do you wanna take some of my stuff and send it to me? My laundry bag doesn't fit and I don't know what to do with it." Me-"Did you try folding it up and putting it in your bag?" Him-"No. It's full of dirty clothes." Oh dear. I told him to fold them haha it sounds like they won't have time to do laundry before they leave. Hopefully he figures that out. I probably won't see him again before he leaves. So sad! He came to my classroom yesterday and gave me the Girl Scout cookies (THANK YOU!!!) and I gave him a huge hug and almost lost it. He's going to be such a good missionary!

I wish you all could just read my journal or something, that would be so much easier! I don't even know how to explain all the amazing things I am learning here. I read this AMAZING talk by Brad Wilcox called His Grace is Sufficient. LOOK IT UP! (byu speeches.byu.edu) It changed my life and my understanding of the word grace. I have felt my Savior's love so much this week and my testimony of the Atonement has grown so much. His grace is not the finishing touch; it is the Finisher's touch. Ah, I just loved that so much and I can't say it any better, so just go read it. I love being a missionary!!!!! AH! Experiencing the spirit teaching others through you is just incredible.

The language is so beautiful. We have made some hilarious mistakes. Yesterday during our lesson, Sister Mullen was intending to commit our investigator to continue reading the Book of Mormon, but instead asked her if she would commit to reading it for the rest of her life! Our investigator just looked at us for a second, "...for the rest of my life? YES!" It was so funny! Especially since our investigators are our teachers! At least it was an eternal commitment for something great! Read the Book of Mormon for the rest of your life!

I love you all, have a wonderful week! The church is SO TRUE!!

Love,

Sister Sahagun
