Tomorrow I leave the MTC! To you it probably feels like sister Jensen just got to the MTC, but to me it has kind of felt like forever..."the days feel like weeks and the weeks feel like days". Yep.
I've been thinking a lot about Mosiah chapter 24. Verse 15 says "the Lord did strengthen them that they could bear up their burdens with ease, and they did submit cheerfully and with patience to all the will of the Lord". My goal? To submit more cheerfully, and to have more patience, even and especially when what I think I want doesn't match with what the Lord wants for me. It will be worth it if I can then "bear my burdens with ease".
Things I've learned:
My Arizonian companion combined with a determination not to call the other elders and sisters "guys" has led to me now calling everyone "yall"...yep
"Be not afraid. Only believe!" Mark 5:36
Show God's love for people, not just your own
(Concerning prayer) When you talk to Him, REALLY talk to Him
"Tho He slay me, yet will I trust Him" Job 13:15
Never underestimate what is possible with the Lord
Enduring to the end=becoming more like Christ
Saying goodbye to my wonderful teachers has been so bittersweet. My MTC teachers have changed my life and I love them so much! I will never forget the lessons I've learned here in beautiful Provo.
Love,
Sister Jensen
PS - Teya was working at the MTC on my P-day!
