When
they say make it to Sunday they truly mean it. Saturday was probably the
longest and hardest day of my life. I didn’t think it was ever going to end.
But, don’t worry y’all.. it did! After I took the Sacrament on Sunday, I felt
so much better! And the devotional was good. What was even better was watching
Elder Ballards talk, “Character of Christ.” IT was amazing! It totally helped
and opened up my mind!
I
love my companion! I am so lucky I got her! The Lord knows what He is doing. We are both learning to NOT
doubt. We are both learning to be brave and bold together. So glad to have a
companion with me!
My companion got sick… so, we went
to the doctors on Monday. She just has a "virus". But, she’s
been coughing like crazy. He gave her some cough syrup. So, that is when
we made our escape from the MTC! We had to go to the student health center to
get her medicine. We left the MTC unattened! Haha, it was so easy. No one even
questioned us. We could have totally ran away and no one would have known.
Tuesday
we had an amazing devo! It kept me captivated and taught me that if we do what
we are asked we will receive blessing, but if we don’t, then those promises
will be taken away.
Wednesday
was just a day in the classrooms.
Thursday we had in field training. It
helped us to prepare to enter the field on Monday!! IT was soooo long though!
Like 6 hours, but helpful! I can’t wait to get to Toronto
I
love you all! Thank you for all your letters and prayers, they truly help!!
Love,
Sister Gillins

The MTC is pushing me to do hard
things! ….. and things I am not totally comfortable with. But, I am so grateful
for that. I know all of this will make me a better missionary. I am also so
grateful to have Brother Richardson as a teacher. He has helped Sister Bottcher
and I. He pushes us, … but he know it is
for the best and talks to us to make sure we are okay. We have worked on being
brave and bold. It has been hard for us, but we have both been doing so good. I
know that my Heavenly Father can make my weakness become strong and I have
definitely seen that while I have been in the MTC. I know the Lord would not
give me anything I could not handle.
How wonderful!! Fun times, I remember so well. You look great and I'm so happy for you and your fun district.
