Can't believe how fast time flies when you're having fun !! this has been the last week of my district being together which is so heartbreaking but I am very happy for them too because each of them will be amazing missionaries !! I have come to love them SO MUCH in the last 3 weeks ! Friendships based around Christ are such a big big blessing. PS to follow up with my last weeks email, I've been reassigned finally !! I will be leaving August 3 to the California Anaheim Mission !! I am way more prepared for Canada weather, so now I have to go shopping again for California's weather (sorry mom and dad🤣) But other than that, it has been the usual routine everyday of studying and classes, not getting too wild over here haha!
To keep this somewhat short I wont bore you with the details of my everyday life!! However maybe bring some things to light that have helped me. Ive found in workshops and classes that many missionaries are struggling with reassignments including myself. The let down of knowing you cant go to where you're called is a lot more difficult than I thought it'd be. As I've prayed about it and sought for an understanding, the Lord has shown me that it doesn't matter where I go for my mission because I am only called to spread the work of God. My calling wasn't to boast in where I am going but rather serve the Lord. No matter the location the message remains the same. Missions have been emphasized more on where we are going rather than what we are called to do and our purpose. I feel like Heavenly Father is reminding us to remember our true purpose as missionaries!! Another thing that I've thought about is the phrase "full experience of the MTC". I know people feel sorry for me since they think Im not getting the full experience of the MTC by doing it online. When I hear this phrase I get super confused because I'm not exactly sure what they mean and so I just wanted to say to everyone not to worry lol!! I am definitely getting the full experience through online MTC. The purpose of the MTC is to create "an atmosphere of love, trust, confidence, and respect" and more importantly "help missionaries draw nearer to God". I can certainly testify that my home has created the same atmosphere the MTC would provide and it has most definitely helped me draw nearer to God. The spirit is just as strong through technology and I am SO grateful for this. Id absolutely love to meet my district in person of course, but because we cant it has brought us even closer! COVID isn't the most ideal situation, but Ive learned that as hard as it can be to accept God's will, He knows whats best for each of us individually. And because of that Im just gonna go with it !!! <33 My testimony has grown so much in the last 3 weeks but I know it can and it will increase in the next 18 months as well. I cant express how excited I am to follow my purpose as a missionary and get to work!!
Hope you all have an amazing week, love yall !!
