Hello!!!
I just wanted to let you know i got your package in the mail today and i also recieved your dear Elder letters both the setting apart (which was actually really helpful) and the other ones that you wrote yesterday!! i really enjoyed getting those!!! I seriously cannot wait to talk to all of you tomorrow!! I only will be able to talk for maybe 15 minutes or less but its better than nothing!!!
I took a whole bunch of pictures just for you hopefully there is enough!!! Also i absolutely love my camera!! There are so many amazing features its ridiculous!!
I was able to go to the Provo temple today which was spectacular and even better than the time before!!! I love the temple so much!!!
Sister Tingson and i have grown so close it is crazy!! She calls me her little sister even though she is smaller than me, but she is 21 so it makes sense!! Sometimes we don't go to bed ontime (almost every night) and just talk. We have had a few picnics in our room where we get so hungry because dinner is at 4:30 (its hard to get use to since we eat dinner at 8 or later at home) we go to the vending machines and grab like 2 things then eat it on the floor of our room and talk!! We are alike in so many ways but also have different weaknesses and strengths that compliment and work together perfectly!!! Anyway i love her so much and am sad we won't be companions for too much longer! But we are both hoping we will be companions in the future!!
My companion and I were able to teach our TRC only twice on Wednesday and Friday but we were suppose to teach her on Monday and Saturday but she was sick and then had an Army thing on Saturday! Her name is Gabby! She is a pure catholic and won't touch or read from the Book of Mormon which is the most powerful conversion tool we as missionaries have. It was a struggle. Thankfully Sister Tingson and i were able to help Elder Ortiz and Elder Lee with their TRC which was harder than ours. His name is Christian. He said that our theology is right and likes that about our chuch and has even read the book of mormon but he doesnt believe Heavenly Father is loving. So Sister Tingson and i were able to soften his heart a little by showing sincerty and love for him. We both cried me a little bit but my companion i am pretty sure almost had a melt down!! She is so sensitive its so cute and sincere but also really inspiring. He said yes to saying a prayer at the end which was amazing!!!
Being Sister Training Leader has actually been a lot of fun!! They are all doing amazing and are all wonderful!! The other sisters in the zone are going to frigid Nebraska to the Visitors center!! Funny story we were all getting ready for bed and i had just gotten in my PJ's when the girls knocked on the door and said they locked themselves out so at 10 oclock at night i was running to the information desk in my PJs trying to go grab them a spare key!! It was quite the adventure! The presidency told me that they picked me because i am the most outgoing!! i laughed to myself for a minute because i know that i am the most awkward and shyest person ever. That is when i realized that once i got this badge i wasn't that person anymore i became the person i need to be, a representative of Jesus Christ for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints!! I am a completely different person now! I randomly talk to people in line in the cafeteria or sit next to lonely people and talk to them! i have started to become the person Heavenly Father needs me to be to help those people he has prepared for me to teach in Canada! I am so grateful for the opportunity to become more like my Savior!!
I am so excited for Kaitlyn!! That is so exciting! I know that this is definetly the path her Father in Heaven wants her to take! I really hope she can make some amazing friends and hopefully (cross your fingers) meet an amazing guy that will treat her the way she deserves!
I can't wait to see some pictures of the yard it sounds like you have done a lot too it! Hopefully it doenst look too ghetto! And if it does then just think about how amazing it will look when it is done!
I am sorry you cried when you went down into my room! But that just shows me how much you love and miss me so thank you!! I just wanted to let you know that i miss and love you too and i would not be where i am in right now if it werent for you being the best mother in the whole wide world!!
Thank you for the cookies and shirt! The cookies are delicious and i do have to say they almost taste better than mine. I was nice to get something from home i really I really needed it!! I just shared the cookies with my district, zone and all the people in the laundry room writing their families and even a few workers. I hope it gave them a little piece of comfort in the form of a cookie! Haha!!
I am so grateful to be here in the MTC and have the opportunity to go to Canada and invite others to come unto Christ by recieving the gospel and taking that first step towards our loving and amazing Heavenly Father.
I miss all of you so much and can't wait to talk to you tomorrow!!!
Love,
Sister Heaton
