Holy EMOTIONS!!!!!!! This week has been an amazing emotional roller coaster. It started off with saying goodbye to my family last Wednesday to getting SMACKED in the face by the spirit every day since! I have already learned and grown SO much. I want to write about EVERY LITTLE CLASS I get to attend, but here is what I got out of this week: I AM A CHILD OF GOD!
My cute companions and I took a walk to the temple.:)
Right after my parents dropped me off at the MTC, I got so EMOTIONAL and started to cry. (I know, I would never do that.) But as my host was taking me to my room, she told me to look at the number on my envelope to see what building I was in. I told her what it was and couldn't believe my eyes when below the number was listed: "COMPANION: EVELYN MATUTE" and "COMPANION: HAILIE SUZANNE NYGREN"
WHAT?!?!!! Hailie Nygren was my roommate from my last semester at BYU-Idaho!!!! I couldn't believe it. I stopped in the middle of the hall and jaw-dropped forever until my host asked me what was wrong. I said, "NOTHING! My old roommate is one of my companions!!" The amazing thing is that my availability was actually set for August 15. When I met with my stake president to turn my papers in, I felt like I needed to extend my date and changed it to September 20. I got my call and was to report to the MTC on October 4. Hailie, my old roommate and now COMPANION, was to report to the MTC on October 25. They called her about 3 weeks ago and told her she was to report to the MTC on October 4. Coincidence??? I think NOT!!
Hermana Nygren and Hermana Matute!
Not only that, my own COUSIN is in my ZONE!! Such a blessing!! We eat together for every meal, go to the gym together, go to sacrament together, and we basically see each other 24/7. It is the BEST! And he wasn't even supposed to be here either! He was supposed to be at the Guatemala MTC but had issues with his Visa. They sent him here instead and we are now in the same zone. :,) Tender mercy!!
ELDER HAYES!!!!
I know that God is our loving Heavenly Father and that he has a plan for EACH of us! He knows us, He loves us, and we are His children. It was His plan for me to come to the MTC at this EXACT time to be with some of the people I love most. No wonder we start learning from the time we are in primary "I am a child of God!" It is one of the many beautiful truths of the gospel.
Love you all SO much and hope you have a great week!

Our building we have classes in! We are so lucky to be in the new buildings.
