The last week in the MTC

The best zone ever!

Heading out this coming Monday and couldn't be happier. All of us are so ready to leave. Not really ready to go to a foreign country where we don't understand the language though. But we all just wanna leave this place.

Nothing too exciting this week. The most exciting thing was getting our flight plans. It was like Christmas morning. As soon as one person saw them, everybody rushed to the computers. We fly to Portland, then Amsterdam, then Ukraine! Got an email from the mission and they are pretty excited for us! Can't wait!

We also are leaving the MTC undefeated in soccer. For like 27 weeks now. Eastern Europe be taken dubs out here.

Had our last Skype TRC yesterday and it was super fun! We taught a native Ukrainian named Irop (Ihor). I went really well. He was super funny. Gonna miss Skyping them but hey, now it'll be for real. Super Nervous.

Very small email because once again, nothing to write about.

I will share what we heard last night in our last Tuesday devotional though. President Robert C. Gay, a member of the seventy presidency, spoke to us. One thing he talked about that stood out to me is that faith is a daily decision. We have to decide everyday to choose to be faithful. "Faith has a short shelf life". We also mentioned that we have to "Decide to decide". We need to decide that we will start making decisions in our lives on a daily basis. Chose to show your faith in Christ every. single. day. Choose to follow His example. I know He lives. I know God lives. I love them so very much and look forward to returning to their presence.


I love all of you and thank you for the support!
