Última Semana :(
Hello hello everyone! Welcome back ive missed you guys! I have a week left in the MTC which is LOCO! I get my travel plans sometime soon! Its weird that i wont be with sister anderson or my elders in the mission! Missionary life is a rollercoaster of emotions literally every minute. Some days are so so great and other days I'm like woah this is tough! And of course every time I get down Heavenly Father is like come on girl you're being silly and spiritually blasts me. In the face. With a firehose.
I'm gonna miss the mtc and all it's weird smells and wonderful people. Seriously this campus is filled with angels. I've made a lot of great friends!
We started SYL and can only speak our language all the time. No english! Its so hard and my district isnt the best at it but some of them are doing so well! I am not. My spanish is still not great but oh well.
Also thank you to everyone who's written to me! It means the world and I love hearing from you!
Spiritual Thoughts and quotes!
- Tuesday devotionals are my favorite! This week we got to hear from Elder Nattress and his wife! A big part of what they talked about is in Mark 5:36. At the end they gave us a card with part of the scripture on it. "Be not afraid, only believe" So I wrote on the back of the card "Fear not. Behold the power behind you is greater than the things that lie ahead." i feel like as the end of my time at the MTC gets closer i get more anxious. Theres a lot of unknowns and itll be scary to figure things out. But when you think about the fact that God is behind you with everything you do it honestly seems silly to worry and fear.
- we had a really really awesome lesson in Hermano Wrides class per usual. Dont get me wrong i love spanish and all but sometimes its harder to feel the intensity of the spirit when right now I'm just trying to decipher even half of what is said. So In the morning during breakfast i jokingly told my district "i just need ONE hermano wride class in English for my sanity." We usually start class with him telling us about his day because it keeps us entertained and from going crazy. But this time he seemed to be a bit down. After a bit of coaxing to get him to tell us if he was okay and what was wrong so we could help him, he expressed a lot of frustrations about how difficult life can be. Anyways it ended up turning into a crazy powerful lesson and he said “I wish I could tell you that he’s there with the confidence that I’d seen him, but I haven’t. i havent seen him in the way i see you guys right now. But I’ve seen his shadow everywhere. I’ve never heard his voice, but I’ve felt it.” it was just crazy that it was exactly what i needed that day and also that it started with us trying to help him and turned into him helping us. Im gonna miss hermano wride, his classes, and his testimony enormously and hope everything good in life heads his way.
We watched this amazing video in class about the Book of Mormon and now ive watched it about 10 times since and it goes along with this paragraph in a book im reading
"In Judea, Shepherds were the first to know about the birth of the Savior. Not the rich, not the famous. Not the great to whom the world paid homage. Just simple shepherds period in America. The restoration followed a similar pattern."
-"Just make sure you touched every heart that you could"
-"Its not going to get any easier after our missions. We need prayer and Heavenly Fathers help as much then as we do now."
Its so weird to think this is my last week at the MTC. I didnt realize Week 1 how much i am going to miss this place. Its also weird I'm not going to be spending 24/7 with District 26-K. To my district: I dont think words adequately do justice to how much I love you guys. I know I say it every week but they've truly helped me grow in so many ways. I've laughed the hardest and felt the spirit the strongest with these people. Elders thank you for being my new brothers. Thank you for taking care of us hermanas and being the best young men. Hermana anderson you've set the bar for companions way too high. We still have a week together and im already sad about saying goodbye. Ive loved our time together and will treasure it forever. Ill miss you all dearly and never forget how special you all are. In the words of hermana anderson "I'll see you all at the 2025 Montrose sweet corn festival ;)"
All my love
Hermana Buhrley
