It's my last day in the MTC!! I can't believe it! I have loved my experience here but I am excited to go to Canada!! I leave tomorrow at 6:25 AM and arrive in Canada at noon or something. I'm so excited!! I am a little sad to be leaving my companion, but I have a feeling we'll be companions again :)
I've
had so many great experiences this week I don't even know where to
begin! One thing I've learned is the importance of saying "I know that
Christ lives" or "I know Joseph Smith is a true prophet of God" versus
"In our church we believe..." Our beliefs are not just something we
believe but something we know to be true. I'm not just a member of this
church because it seemed like it would be fun or anything like that. I'm
a member of this church because I know that it is true. I know that
because of this gospel I have experienced so much joy and happiness. I
want to help others know they can experience this joy and happiness for
themselves.
It's been so awesome to see the
people I've met here leave and prepare to leave myself. I know there
will be challenges I face but with Christ I will be able to overcome
them.
I have grown so close to the sisters I'm serving with and I love them so much! We have so much fun together!
We
had the opportunity to go to the temple today! It was so wonderful and
peaceful. I'm so grateful I was able to go before I leave!
One
thing I love about my companion is that she loves art! Sometimes we
draw pictures for each other and then color them. It is so much fun!
It's
amazing how Heavenly Father will always answer your prayers! Earlier
this week I was worried about something. And then in class we were doing
role plays and I was the investigator while these two really good
elders were teaching me a lesson on the law of fast. Their lesson was
really good and it reminded me that I had fasted for my worry a while
ago and that I had no need to worry. Heavenly Father is aware of us and
will provide us a way to accomplish the things He has commanded.
Well,
I've had a marvelous experience at the MTC and I'm so grateful for the
time I've spent here. I can't wait to see what the future holds either!
Love, Sister Bloomfield
