Family and Friends!

Happy birthday Makayla!!!  Lindsey you graduate this week! So crazy!!!

This week in the MTC has been crazy to say the least! On TuesdaY, 8 elders and I left at 3 AM to catch a flight to San Fransico to visit the French Consulate to finish up our visa paperwork! We then went down to Pier 39 and walked around and had some lunch. Then it was back to the MTC. What a turn around! It also made me realize that now I am a representative of the Savior. People knew exactly who I was and who I represented right away.  This was truly such a humbling experience.  It was just more motivation to work even harder. I was talking to an elder in my zone about how much of a workload you really have in the MTC. He told me that when he gets tired or wants to mess around he tells himself, "how am I supposed to expect the Lord to answer my prayers when I haven't given it everything I've got." Immediately I changed my mindset on studying.

I also have come to grow closer to Elder Beane. He has been through so much in his life and it really made me grateful for the life I have. It made me see God's hand in my life and I am eternally grateful for all that I have been blessed with.

Last night was our Sunday devotional. The Speaker said he had a funny talked planned and while he was sitting on the stand getting ready to speak he was prompted to have us watch Sister Monson's funeral, (we were watching it right after). The Spirit was so strong! He felt prompted in the middle of his talk that we should sing "Come, Come Ye Saints." Elder UrSua and I started bawling. The Spirit was so strong and to think he based his whole talk off of promptings he was receiving blew my mind! Also Elder UrSua and I have decided  we are pretty much the same person. We both have similar childhoods and trials and our life. I know for sure he will be a life time friend! 

Thanks you for all the letters and packages! It's weird how excited I get over receiving a letter in the mail!

I love you all and pray for all you every night. I know without a doubt that I'm supposed to be on a mission right now and I know that the Lord will provide a way for me to do his work.

Lots of Love ,

Elder Sughroue
