Thank you all so much for your letters, and packages! You are the best! I have so much supoort and feel so blessed, Merci Merci Merci!!! I am so sorry I have to miss the Benefit Breakfast on Saturday! Ah, that spread in the newpaper was amazing! All the girls in my room read it and their hearts were touched, so beautiful. My thoughts and love will be at that breakfast!

It has been another wild week here at the MTC, busy busy busy! I am working my butt off and praying for miracles:) As you know today is my Pday. Today we get up do laundry, and go to the temple and take care of any business! We just got back from the temple and it was amazing. I did sealings for the first time. I was the daughter for a bunch of sealings and the spirit was so strong. Memories of the day Sadie, Chase, Bridger and Bronx were sealed came flooding back into my mind and I was tearing up pretty good. What a beautiful day that was! Wow so amazing. And today I was just reminded of the great blessing a temple sealing brings to families. Go back to the temple and do sealings.

I will give you a little run down of some awesome stuff this past week. Last Tuesday night we had Elder Scott come and speak to us for our devotional (every tuesday someone comes and speaks, I wonder who tongiht will be, it is always a surprise). He talked on prayer and it was so powerful. One of my facorite quotes was " to achieve a goal never before attained, one must do things never before done", I love that and I think it applies to us all! He also spoke of how answers to our prayers rarely come when we expect them too, but when we find quite moments and put in effort to recieve them they come. I love this. Just think of the first vision, go and look at JSH 1:15 "After I had retired to the place where I had "previously" designed to go..." Joesph Smith didn't just spit out a prayer to Heavnely Father, he created an environment for revelation. He put forth the effort. Back to the talk. Elder Scott ended and we sang out closing hymn, just as the Sister was walking to the Pulpit to give the closing Prayer Elder Scott seriously jumped from his chair and beat her to the Pulpit. He threw His arms on the sides and said I feel a strong feeling that I need to get up here and tell you something. He said for all of those learing a language, I desire to give an Apostolic Blessing to you form the Lord. He said, the Lord won't just help you learn your language, but he will help you and wants you to Master it. Wow it was powerful, it was simple and short, but it was from the Lord and it touched all of our hearts. The lord will help me Master French, which right now seems daunting, but He will, I know he will as I Put for the effort on my part!

Here at the MTC we have two teachers, one in the morning and one in the evening! One Is Soeur Sandoval, she is sweet and so darling!! SHe is a great teacher and pushed us to be better, I love her! Our second teacher is Frere Nelson, he taught us for the last time yesterday, so we will get a new teacher tomorrow. He is awesome, such a great teacher! He gave a few words of advice before he left yesterday. He tols us to pray as if everything depends on the Lord, But work as if everything depends on us. What a good way to look at this life? He then told us that after all we can do, if we are truly faithful and odedient to pray for miracles. Now this kind of made me feel uncomfortable, but why? I had to think about it for awhile and this is how I feel. Our God is the same God yesterday, today and forever. He is a God of miracles. If we have faith in Him enough then asking for miracles is something we are entitled to do. If we have faith we are not asking for miracles as a sign to see if God is there, beacause we know He is, we just recognize our weaknesses after all we can do. So my invitaion to all of you is to be 100% faithful, rely on the Lord, and Pray for miracles, always with the understanding that all things are in the Lords hands and HE knows us better than we know ourselves.

The MTC is wonderful and everything is going great! It has been 3 weeks, but feels like 3 days sometimes? 3 More weeks and I am in France... so crazy, but I am excited!! Just a little funny note, we play beach volleyball for our exercise time and it is wonderful haha! SO funny! Poor Soeur Buonanotte sprained her wrist while playing this week and afterwards said, "This must be s sign form God that I need to start running" Haha she is amazing. All the girls in my district are amazing!! I love them all so much!

Fmaily I love you and miss you! Thank you so much for your suopport, I truly have been blessed!
