We got our flight plans last Friday!!!! AH!!! Its real! I'm leaving for Japan! Me and my roommate were singing the lyrics from Frozen (For the first time in forever) like ALL day.
´´ There will be actual real live people!
It will be totally strange!
Wow am I so ready for this change
Cuz for the first time in forever there~ll be music there~ll be light
for the first time in forever, Ill be dancing through the night!
I don't know if I'm elated or gassy but I'm somewhere in that zone!
Cuz for the first time in forever, I wont be alone´´
The whole MTC must have heard us sing it at least once in the past 7 days. Haha! Gosh this week has been awesome. I'm learning so many awesome things that I know I need to learn before I got to Nihon. This week my Sensei is having us all talk about acts of Charity we've seen throughout the day. Its really amazing how much you actually see when you are looking for it. I notice acts of Charity all the time. Especially from my district and my companion. My companion is always helping me out like if I feel sick or discouraged, shes always the perfect person to talk to. And this elder in my district named Elder Schmiel, goodness he is so sweet. So foreigners at the MTC get free luggage if they need it. And I realized I needed a small carry on, but since I'm American I wouldn't be about to get one. And since he didn't need one and was from Brazil he went and got me one. It was like thee nicest thing! Charity is the pure love of Christ. Once you see it, you want to just find more and more opportunities to serve. I love it!
Ha so my last lesson with our fake investigator was interesting yesterday. So we told him we were being transferred and that this was our last lesson. He only had 10 minutes for the lesson and I knew we couldn't fit in our whole lesson so I just took the opportunity and bore a last testimony to him. It wasn't anything profound. It was just in my horrible, simple Japanese, but when I bore my testimony, I started to cry. I'm not a crier! But when I bore my testimony that this church was true, that Joseph Smith was a prophet and that Christ is our Savior, I knew I wasn't lying. The spirit was so eminent.
Elder Christopherson of the 12 Apostles came! He was great! He talked about how its better to be trusted than to be loved. He asked us if God can trust us. I want God to be able to trust me. Ill prove to him everyday that I'm a trustworthy daughter. He can count on me ;)
Ill be in JAPAN by my next post!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D Scary! But I know this church is true. I'm on my mission because I know this gospel is worth looking fear in the face. It is true. It is worth it and I am so blessed to be a missionary at this time. Christ is our Savior. I know that much and that's as much as I need. IN the name of Jesus Christ Amen
