It's been good here at the MTC, but I've also struggled a bit. I feel like my testimony is very weak, and it has really bothered me. Last night I asked Elder Waiwaiole and Elder Kesler to give me a blessing of comfort, and I felt that comfort today. Even though I'm struggling with my testimony, and I have a big journey ahead of me, I feel that if I go forward, trusting, and having faith in God and my Savior, that I will be blessed, and receive what I need. Well, today was a good p-day (my last one at the MTC!(. It is always good getting an email from home. I get to call home on Wednesday when we are at the airport, and then again just 4 days later on Mother's Day! It will be good. Today in class we practiced door approaches for the first time and it really opened my eyes! It is scary - even when it's fake! I can't imagine what it is going to be like in real life! But I will learn and grow and learn to be the missionary the Lord wants me to be. Tomorrow is the last day in the MTC!
