week 2

This week really was a roller coaster, on Tuesday during class our teachers started teaching us only in japanese and it was too much for my brain and I had a full mental breakdown in class. I felt really bad for my teachers but literally the next day Japanese actually started to make sense. So my brain needed it. We got to teach in the TRC this week, I was so proud of how our lessons went! We did so good and the spirit was strong the whole time! :) we also had to teach a Japanese lesson before we even taught an English one. I couldn't even believe it. We learn so much every single day it so crazy. I say it all the time but it's just so true! We found out the Japanese missionaries already out in my mission were getting evacuated in the middle of class on Friday and we all started immediately crying haha it was sad, but it's ok. We are all here to learn about how to grow faith and that's what this is going to help us do! The first picture is us getting ice cream with the korean missionaries, bc now none of us know where we are going to do at the end of our 10 weeks. I LOVE THE MTC!!! My district is the best! Hopefully I get to stay!

Week 1

These past couple of days have been SOO CRAZY, I have learned so many new things, apart from the japanese, in just 2 and a half days here. I AM LOVING IT THO. I love being surrounded by so many missionaries at any given moment. Especially when half of them are my friends! I have seen so many of my friends it's so fun! I see elder Palmer all the time! 

  Taylor shimai is my companion and she is so cool! We are also both going to the Tokyo south mission, We get along super well, she is from Las vegas! We are in an apartment with Clark shimai from California and Hernandez shimai from the Philippines! Friday was the first time Hernandez shimai had ever seen snow! 

My district all gets along so well they are such lovely people!

 yesterday we had a really cool workshop about the gift of tongues, it was cool to see so many people who are also learning crazy languages, the people who offered to give a opening and closing prayer could already do it in their mission language. The workshop talked about how we will be able to learn as much as I can in the next 10 weeks if I give my 100% everyday even if my 100% isn't as good as it was the day before, as long as it is my all, Christ will get me where I need to be. 

 My district and I learned all the essentials in japanese so we SYL ( speak your language ) everywhere here. When it snowed we would just kept saying how pretty it was in japanese for like 20 minutes. 雪はきれいです

 My teacher also pointed out a cool thing yesterday, she told us that the only reason that all of us are here learning japanese is because christ needs us to bring the people of Japan the gospel. And if we focus on that we will learn quick! 

There are so many rumors about what the church is going to do with us because of Corona. There are rumors we are going to be just sent out early but we will see. I have only heard that from the Spanish missionaries. 

It's been a short week full of changes and learning!

Saying Goodbye

I actually thought I was smiling in this picture 

Temple Square

The day before Isabelle left she was feeling a little anxious and we didn't know what to do.  After a little prayer we decided to go to temple square.  What an inspired answer.  We had the best day at the visitors center, the church history museum, the conference center and the tabernacle.  We got to chat with all the sister missionaries at each place and they were all so happy and excited for her.  They gave her lots of great advice and made her feel so much peace.  It was a special day with just the three of us.

cutest senior missionary that isn't so camera savy, we asked him to take our picture and ended up with 20 pictures that all look exactly like this
