Happy Thanksgiving Family !!!! 11-26-09

How is every one doing? I hope your all having a good week. Thanksgiving here is really odd. Normally we have a P-day to wash our things but this week we get two apostles instead lol. I think its a good swap! So Just be glad I'm not there I'm just about out of clean cloths so I would stink any way :) My week has been good my comps aren't sick any more so that a blessing! Life at the mtc is fun. We have a lot of fun but we work so hard at the same time. I had no idea I could get so much done with my day by 8:30, I cram so much I Love it! the language is coming along nicely. We teach in Armenian and I was telling the "investigator" what foods I like and dislike. So I toled them I love Veggies he started laughing so hard... my comp started to talk and pointed to me and said you mixed up the words for Vegies with the word for Wine! lol so I had to hurry and correct myself and let them known I did not like wine but it was really funny. Earlier she had meant to say God gave J.S. mormons book and said God gave J.S. Mormon's flu.. lol I love Armenian it's so much fun I really see the gift of tounges in my life I have no idea how it comes but it does I work hard and God does the rest. LOVE Him!!!!
on Tuseday Elder Oaks came to talk to us. He talked that we all need to become not just achieve. We need to have a vision of who we are and what we are called to do. Plus get something to happen within ourselves (a mighty change of heart) mainly that we put ourselves aside and do the Lords will. We do a Review on firesides and Elder Frost one of our Elders who is going Greece, he's Danish he said "Don't just have Christs name on our hearts" pointing to his name tag. "but have it written on our hearts so that when people see us they know that this is the true church." How true that is they told us here that 1 in every 10 people that join the church knew in the first min that the church was true just because of how that missionaries look... How cool is that it also lets me know that the way we present ourselves is so important!!! Not just for the missionaries with the tag but all the members as well.
Holland talked to us today. He has a wonderful spirit about him he had all of us write down questions a week or two ago and he answered some of them today it was really cool just some of the things that were on people's minds. He focused on families and how wonderful there are and told us that we need to be homesick so that we will get a taste of the love Heavenly father has for us and how great the joy will be when we go back to live with him. It put it in a new light for me. I know that Heavenly Father loves us and Wants to see us again, I feel it with all my heart. they say you never stop being converted and thats so true I now know enough to know that I don't know much about the true love of God. I feel him so close, some times at night as I'm going to sleep I can feel his love for me so real I swear I would reach out and grab it. There is no doubt in my mind that this is the one and only true church and that God is running it him self.
thanks for all you do for me and I hope that this Thanksgiving is good to you. I feel truly blessed to be here during the holidays it really does have a special spirit to it. Love you forever have a good one -Sister Ferguson :)
