MTC

Hello all!!!!!  I only have about 15 minutes so i will see how fast I can type this out!

I have been LOVING the MTC!!!!  It is so great! I have learned so much, and my testimony has been strengthened greatly. I'm so pumped to fly into Denver next monday and just spread the gospel!!!!!  WEEEE!!!! 

I had a funny experience. So on dearelder.com if you have messages from more than one person they just print it out on the same page. so i got a great letter from mama sheri, and on the back was a little note. It said a little message about how great the MTC was for them, but one thing they learned too late was to REALLY listen.... That was exactly what I needed to hear at that time, but for the life of me I couldn't find who had written it. So i was just thinking, how nice that the Spirit has caught on board with the whole technology thing, and is sending me messages on dearelder.com.... hahaha. kidding I saw it was from someone anonymous from logan... so I'm still way confused to who it was, but whoever... thank you! you answered a prayer from this girl. Thanks!

Seriously thank you for those who are thinking of me and praying for me. I know the best people in the world. cream of the crop.

My thought of the week comes from  a really hard experience I have been having the past few days.  while, yes, I am LOVING the MTC, this still is so hard.  God is trying to turn me into who He wants and needs me to be for Him and for the people of Denver, but that is not always a comfortable experience.  So here, we have been learning the importance of following the Spirit as we study, and plan lessons, and teach.  Because just me, Makinzie Hunter, I'm just a 20 year old from utah. But with the Lord, I can be someone who says exactly what someone needs to hear.  So yeah, the Spirit is so essential.  and as I have been studying for one of my progressing investigators (a teacher playing the part of someone she converted on her mish) I feel like I have been hitting a brick wall.  It comes time to study, and....... yeah. I don't know where to turn. I have been feeling so frustrated with myself.  But negative thoughts don't come from the Lord so I need to stop being so hard on myself.  but seriously I have been praying harder than I have in quite some time.  I know that God is listening and that He cares, but I think he is letting me struggle and REALLY want the Spirit so that I can become the missionary He wants me to be.  It's hard!!!  I think that I'm learning again that there is no growth in the comfort zone, and it's definitely not comfortable in the growth zone. But God knows the man/woman that we can become.  I know we don't realize our potential.  So if we sincerely turn our hearts over to God, and relying on the Savior's Atonement to TRANSFORM us, we Can become that person.  but at first... it might not be comfortable!!!!  

wow. I have to get off! I love you all and I will be talking to you soon!

Onward Christian soldiers!!!!
