Hermana Stanger's last letter from the MTC! She leaves to Mexico on Monday!!
Hello! Thursday we got to teach a REAL investigator. IT.WAS.AMAZING. It started off a little rough because it was in Spanish, obviously. The poor girl couldn't explain to us very well because we weren't understanding. So, she decided to just talk in English. Then our lesson started going well. We were about to wrap it up when I had this major prompting to talk about mom and my testimony of the plan of salvation. I cried, she cried, the spirit was soooo strong. (Her dad is really close to dying we found out) We then asked if she would pray. She didn't know how and asked if one of the other sisters would do it. While she was praying, I again was prompted to ask her to pray after we ended. She said she would!! It was one of thee most heartfelt prayers I have every heard. It was absoultely amazing. She was crying and so were we. It was amazing. I didnt want to leave.
The next day I flew to Las Vegas to get my visa! I got up at 3:30 am. A very unholy time of the day if you ask me. We then rode out to the airport and sat, forever waiting for our plane to come at 8:30. Then we flew to Vegas! And then we went and listened to this really grumpy old man talk about random things for a few hours. My favorite quote of his, "Sometimes old people forget how to swallow, so they die." What a cheery man. :) Then we went to the Mexican Consulate. It took about 20 minutes to get our visa. So, around 1:30 or so, we were taken back to the airport. Our flight was scheduled for 6:30 Vegas time. 5 hours in the Vegas airport with 10 other missionaries.It was a party. we made it back to the Mtc around10:30. I was soooooo tired. But it was actually a pretty fun trip.
My birthday was pretty much a normal day. I got sang to twice. That was fun. I got 1 birthday card ON my birthday and it was full of my favorite magical object; GLITTER!!! :D It was a good day. :)
This is the true church. I am so grateful for the gospel in my life. I love the Lord and I love doing his work! Love you all!!
