I have so many things to say, my thoughts are all over the place, so bear with me. Being here in the MTC is wonderful, I have grown so much in such a short amount of time, I know that it's only because of my Savior. I have truly felt my Heavenly Father's love being poured out on me as I have gone through adjusting. Being able to see God's love for others has helped me to know His love for me.
For the first 5 days I had a companion from New Mexico, Sister Wheeler is 21. On the first Sunday Branch President Oswald felt that we needed to switch companions. My new companion, Sister Chapa, is from Payson, she's 19, and she's an angel. I can testify to you, God loves you and he answers prayers--often through other people.
My district is made up of 4 elders and 4 sisters: Elder Wes Glissmeyer from Kaysville, Elder Duncan Jolley from Las Vegas, Elder Kevin Ralphs from California, and Elder Scott Jackson from Idaho. Sister Leslie Shaw from California, Sister Wheeler from New Mexico, Sister Chapa and me. :) We all get along splendidly. We have two teachers, Brother Morriss and Brother White. (Brother Tyler White actually lived down the street from me on Condo Row! We were in the same stake over the summer, and I never even knew it!)
I have learned so much from being here, and I am truly excited to help others come unto Christ. I will be leaving for Ohio this Wednesday at 5:30 am (early, I know!) I am excited for a change of scene! :)
Remember what tender mercies, miracles, and answers to prayer you've had in the past. God loves you and is watching over you. Sister Wheeler shared an analogy with me that I really love: Heavenly Father is our Father, and as a father, He aches when you struggle and don't come to Him. He wants to help you, and He will. Just trust in Him.
Love from the MTC,
Sister Sarah Jane Lewis
