Today we were able to meet with our Branch President and he decided that
he wanted to give us just a few minutes to write home! I just wanted to
let you guys know that I am loving the MTC! It was really hard to have
to leave you guys
on Wednesday,
but right as I walked into the building the spirit was able to come
over me and I was able to be more excited rather then nervous, it also
helped that I had a million and one missionaries saying hi to me and
welcome to the MTC (Thanks to my little dork dot)! My companion is
Sister Sorensen, she is from Pocatello Idaho! She is awesome and I am so
glad I have her to learn from and be able to lean on as I have been
here! Even though it is also really weird to have a companion, sometimes
I forget and just start walking. It is also really different to be
called Sister Harrison all the time, I honestly don't even really know
my companion's first name... awkward! My district is awesome as well,
the Elders are headed to Fresno California while all of us Sisters are
headed to Eugene together, I honestly already have such a great love for
them, they are already some of my closest friends. Since we have been
here we have been able to focus a lot on our purpose as missionaries
which is "Invite others to come unto Christ by helping them receive the
restored gospel, through faith in Jesus Christ and his atonement,
repentance, baptism, receiving the gift of the Holy Ghost and Enduring
to the End." I love this statement and it has been able to give me so
much strength since I have been here. Sister Rose gave me a cool quote
on Sunday
after my farewell and she said, "You may be leaving your family, but
you are also leading them." I love this and I hope in some ways that I
am able to lead you in one way or another. At the MTC we sit in classes
ALL the time, everyone keeps telling me to just make it to
Sunday!
Our classroom is of course on the 5th floor of the building so you know
we are toning our legs as well as learning how to listen and teach more
with the spirit. When we met with the Branch President today I was
given an assignment as an online coordinator! I am really excited for
this assignment and to learn from it as I continue my time at the MTC, I
am also the Senior Companion in my companionship! I am teaching my
first investigator
tomorrow
and I am so excited but so nervous! Luckily I have Sister Sorensen to
lean on when I need help. Well time is running out but I just wanted to
let you know that I love you and I will be writing home again
on Tuesday!!! I love you guys so much!
Love,
Sister Harrison
