First Week in the MTC

October 11, 2022

Well, I survived home MTC! Going back to doing zoom classes for 7 hours a day was definitely not something I was looking forward to, but it wasn't too bad, haha. I actually learned a lot! And my district (the group of missionaries I go to classes with) are all amazing! They are all super nice, and I'm excited to get to see them in person 😊 My companion, Sister Harris is the sweetest person ever! We get along really well, which is a relief. She's going to Canada, so we are going to very opposite climates, haha.

In class we've been learning a lot about teaching, but mostly we've been taught a lot of times that it's ok to not be perfect right now! We are just starting, so not knowing everything is kind of the norm. That's been a good reminder because I'm definitely a perfectionist, so I just try to remember that and not overthink too much :) I'm certainly coming to realize that I can do a lot more than I think I can! When I think things are too overwhelming for me, I still manage to keep going!

At the beginning of the week, we were reading in D&C 4:2, 4 which say, "serve him with all your heart, might, mind and strength... For behold the field is white already to harvest; and lo, he that thrusteth in his sickle with his might, the same layeth up in store that he perisheth not, but bringeth salvation to his soul" So I wrote "no hesitation" on my mirror in big letters to remind myself to jump in with all my might! I had to read it over and over again some days, but life is all about doing a little better every day!

The real terror now is packing. I leave for the Provo MTC tomorrow, so hopefully everything I need will be in my suitcases by then 😆 I just hope everything fits! 

Hopefully I'll have more to talk about next week. I love y'all ❤️ 

Sister Aysha May Entrikin

P.s. this scripture, among others, has been a great comfort this week.

John 14:27 "Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid"
