HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!
Things are so crazy at the MTC right
now. Today is supposed to be our Pday, but since it's Thanksgiving and
there is a special program, we don't get to have a p-day... except for 2
hours this morning for everybody to do their laundry in the same
laundry room... SO, everybody in the MTC who has a Thursday p-day was
doing laundry at the same time in the same laundry room this morning.
It was nuts. Also, since a general authority is speaking to us in a
couple hours, people have been lined up outside since 6:30am this
morning waiting to get a good seat. It doesn't even start til 10!! So
crazy! Half the MTC is already in line...
Anyway, this week we learned about gifts of the Holy Ghost
(spiritual gifts). We can find what those gifts are in D&C 42.
It's interesting to recognize which gifts are yours and to think about
how you are using them to benefit others. I encourage you to read
through D&C 42 and think of which spiritual gifts you have been
given and how you are using them to benefit others, because after all,
we're only given them to benefit God's children!
I saw Elder Jacob Moss yesterday! He has to be here for 12 weeks, I
can't even imagine how awful that would be. I'm here for 9 weeks and
I'm already anxious to get out of here! I love the MTC but it's time
that I get out of here and go teach the people in California. I've got
cabin fever!
Did Alicia Campbell ever get those cards I left for her and her mother? I left it by the fabric we used for my skirts?
I'm excited to see the bonus room when I get back! It sounds like you're doing some fun things to it! :)
Thank you for sending me Tim's address! I've put his letter in the mail. Has Julio gotten back to you? Is
Jake home for Thanksgiving? It brought a huge smile to my face to see
what he posted about me on FB, thank you :). I love getting mail from
my family and friends!
Are you going black friday shopping tomorrow? What are Torie and Jesse asking for for Christmas this year? haha
Last
night our zone had a "pre-thanksgiving kickoff party" with all of the
food packages our zone received. There was SO MUCH FOOD! After class
we all just went outside in the courtyard and ate tons of food and sang
goofy songs and just had an awesome time until it was time for bed. Our
zone really is the best! We're all united and have a great time
together.
Thank you so much for all of your encouraging and loving words!
It's so nice to hear words of encouragement that keep me going
throughout the day or help me end my day on a good note.
On
this Thanksgiving day (and everyday), I am so thankful for my family,
friends, the Gospel, our doggies, missionary work, scriptures, food,
shelter, warmth, health, clothes, shoes, to live in this country, my
companion, my district, my zone, my teachers, letters, email, internet,
toothpaste, beds, pillows, blankets, hairbrushes, soap, medicine, music,
and so so many other blessings in my life that I could go on for
hours!! I have been blessed with so much in my life and I am grateful
for this day that we have to reflect on all of them. However, it is
important to make everyday a thanksgiving, and always remember and give
thanks for all of the blessings we have been given, and we must remember
from whom all great things come, which is our Heavenly Father. One of
the speakers the other day mentioned that thanksgiving is equivelent to
worshipping. When you give thanks to the Lord, you are worshipping
Him. Don't you just feel so much happier when you're grateful? I do.
Gracias por tu pensimientos and oraciones. Estoy muy agradecida
por todo el ayuda y amor de mis amigos y mi familia. Estoy muy agradecia
por la oportunidad servir un mision y ser misionara por Dios. Oro cada
dia para ustedes y siempre pienso sobre ustedes. Espera que ustedes
tendran un buen tiempo a la casa de abuelo y abuela! Por favor diga
ellos "hola y te amo" por yo! Que tenga un buen dia y dia de gracias! Te amo mucho.
con amor,
Hermana Inman
p.s. lo siento por mi pobre espanol, estoy tratando a hablar mejor, pero, yo soy gringa.
