IT’SSSS P-DDDAAAYYYYY!!

Just so you know, my P-day here in the MTC is on Mondays but I leave NEXT MONDAY! 
On Monday, Feb 9, at 7:10 am, a plane will take me from Salt Lake City to Atlanta, Georgia! And then from Atlanta to Jackson!  I have to be at the travel office of the MTC by 3:20am on Monday morning.

My companion is also going to Jackson (where her dad served his mission!).  She is ALSO 6 FEET 1 INCHES tall, which is great. We have our groove together teaching (she does the transitions from topic to topic and I provide the info). 

I thought the MTC would be about learning how to teach. IT'S NOT. It's about learning how to figure out through the Spirit what investigators need. I know how to teach but I didn't know how to do that.  So, I'm learning how to teach better (or rather INVITE; nothing in the purpose says anything about teaching).

I've heard a lot of people say that they've never felt the Spirit so strongly as at the MTC. I have definitely felt the Spirit this strongly elsewhere in my life, but probably not nearly as consistently. We pray a lot and it's great. I feel like I'm getting better at learning how to follow the Spirit. AND I'VE ONLY BEEN HERE 4 DAYS!  I feel like I've been here forever. 

Our branch presidency talked to us yesterday about how to rate things:

                Good: is it wrong?

                Better: is it right?

                Best: is it valiant?

I've been trying to follow this.  Someone told us that, "Obedience brings blessings and exact obedience brings miracles." I want those miracles so I've been working on exact obedience. 

I am enjoying myself and trying to take advantage of my time in the MTC!  But I will be excited to leave.

Love, 

Sister Nash
