Hello from Provo!






This week has been so much better than last week. I've grown so much since the beginning of the month and I can tell that I’m making progress.  I still can’t do direct objects and the house of Être.  Passé compose is very difficult as well. We got more missionaries this week but no new Soeurs.  It’s crazy. There is like 25 Soeurs and 80 something or more Elders in our zone. But it’s all good because usually it’s more girls than boys, so I’m not complaining. I’ve gotten to know the missionaries in my zone so well.  They all have a place in my heart.  It’s going to be so sad to say goodbye in a couple weeks. There are 4 Soeurs that are not in our zone that speak French already but are taking English who will only be here for 3 weeks and will leave with us when we do.

Thank you for the package! A ton of people loved the cookies and I really love the lamb I sleep with it every night now.

         On Monday, Pioneer Day, we had Family Home Evening with just a couple other districts, the ones that came in with us on the 5th. So my comp and I scrounged up some treats from other sharing bins from other Soeurs and my comps mother gave her a package of American decorations for the Holiday. Then we went to the 6th floor of the new building to look out over the valley to watch fireworks and eat our treats. Afterwards we sat in a circle and whoever wanted to bare their testimony (in English!) could.  That was how we spent Pioneer Day. Of course I bore mine, because I had such a strong feeling to do so. Those who know that feeling know what I’m talking about. I cried and it was awesome. I didn’t know what I was going to say, but the Spirit took over. I loved hearing the other Elders cry too.  Sounds weird, but its nice seeing them so in tune with the spirit and acting a little bit more mature. One Elder is always so in tune with the Spirit he cries every time he bares his testimony and when we went to the temple he cried in the celestial room. I just love that he feels so strongly the spirit of this gospel. I never realized how great Pioneer Day was until now.  Before I was just thinking it’s a cool day Utah celebrate because of the pioneers. But what did the pioneers do?? They walked thousands of miles because of their testimony of this gospel. LIVE LIKE PIONEERS.

           I finally was able to go to the temple this morning because it’s been closed. It was very beautiful and special to go with my whole zone. We woke up at 5 to meet at 6:15 we finished around 9:45 and then we went to the basement to help with the laundry as part of our service. Afterwards we went to eat in the cafeteria there and stood in line for 1 hour before we finally got our breakfast.  By the time I got my food they only had scraps because breakfast ended at 1030. Super sad.  But I was able to eat and experience a session in the temple.

         So as you heard our vocal group was chosen to perform in the Senior Missionaries Assembly.  Again, we performed a Childs Prayer and it went super well.  I think I loved it more than I would have if we had sung at the regular devotional. The senior missionaries cried, lip sang along with us and were rocking in their seats as we sang. The spirit was very sweet and it was an amazing experience.

       This week we listened to a recorded talk by Elder Bednar on Teaching by the Spirit. I LOVED IT. Some things I got from it were:

*Is it me or is it the Holy Ghost?

* "QUIT WORRYING ABOUT IT, stop analyzing it."

* You do it even if you don’t know why.

* Keep your covenants and commandments and you will feel the spirit.

* "Its press forward, not sit still."

* "Be a good boy, and be a good girl and dontwait for some miraculous spiritual experience. You will feel the power of the spirit when doing what you’re supposed to."

* "QUIT WORRYING ABOUT IT"

I just love Elder Bednar. He teaches with such authority and power from the spirit. I could watch him all day surprisingly.

           So Tuesday and Wednesday morning were the days we woke up at 5:50. Tuesday to do a yoga class and Wednesday was cardio.  Tuesday was good. Wednesday was more difficult.  If it has to do with cardio it’s always a no. I hate the feeling but most the time I do it anyways because It’s good for your body, you know the struggle I’m sure.  Anyway, we woke up to do the cardio class and I was not in a good mood.  Again I was doing it for my comp who loves to exercise. The instructor kept yelling at us to keep pushing and keep the knees up and don’t stop, keep going.  In my head I was thinking of something rather unpleasant to do to her. IF she yelled at me to run one more time and to sprint ladders I was going to do something I’d regret. JK!  But I wasn’t very happy. I don’t feel like sprinting at 6 in the morning. But every time I looked over at my comp she always had the biggest smile on her face. That made it a little bit more worthwhile.  Afterwards my comp stopped me in the halls in our residence, and told me how grateful she was to have a companion like me. She was so happy that I was willing to do these exercises for her and that I am so easy going to do whatever. That made my mood increase from sad to pretty much happy.  Just a little more sleep and I would’ve felt perfect. I know that doing something for others even if you don’t like it makes their day so much better.  Again it’s not about you; it’s about the people around you.  Look for a chance to serve someone even if you really hate the thing you’re doing because I know you’ll learn so much from the experience and grow that much more too.  I know that the Lord was helping me to be more Christ like.  I also know that if we don’t work out my comp hates life. I found out the hard way.  So it’s best that I keep her happy.  Plus I like seeing her happy and full of the spirit.

           Another funny thing that my comp and I have going is every time I insult myself she hits me and every time she complains I hit her. I get hit more than I hit her.  One time she said she didn’t really like the sweats she was wearing because it made her butt look weird.   I didn’t think so, so I just said, "No you look great, but as for me I just accept the fact that I’m ugly either way."  I couldn’t resist.  Right after I said that I started running.  She chased me down 4 flights of stairs all the way to the gym before I stopped and let her hit me. It was funny.  We had a good laugh.

         Speaking of staying happy and controlling your anger, my comp shared with me during personal study something she found in the student manual for the new testament that that I thought I’d share with you:

“A cunning part of [Satan’s] strategy is to dissociate anger from agency, making us believe that we are victims of an emotion that we cannot control. … The Lord expects us to make the choice not to become angry. … When the Lord eliminates the phrase ‘without a cause,’ He leaves us without an excuse. …

“Anger is a yielding to Satan’s influence by surrendering our self-control. It is the thought-sin that leads to hostile feelings or behavior. … Understanding the connection between agency and anger is the first step in eliminating it from our lives” (“Agency and Anger,” Ensign, May 1998, 80–81).

President Thomas S. Monson reminded us that we can choose not to become angry:

“To be angry is to yield to the influence of Satan. No one can make us angry. It is our choice. If we desire to have a proper spirit with us at all times, we must choose to refrain from becoming angry. I testify that such is possible. …

“… We are all susceptible to those feelings which, if left unchecked, can lead to anger. We experience displeasure or irritation or antagonism, and if we so choose, we lose our temper and become angry with others. Ironically, those others are often members of our own families—the people we really love the most. …

“May we make a conscious decision, each time such a decision must be made, to refrain from anger” (“School Thy Feelings, O My Brother,” Ensign or Liahona, Nov. 2009, 68–69).

        I just loved that. Hope you think it’s just as interesting as I do.  I challenge you all to try and be patient, and understanding as you go about this next up coming week with anything you are about to do. I know it’s hard, but here a little there a little.

       I saw Braden on Thursday at lunch. He saw me and we chatted for a little bit. I really needed to see his face.  I’m not really homesick at all. I mean I think of you guys from time to time but I know I’m doing the Lord’s work so I’m good.  I’m kept pretty busy so I don’t think too much of outside things but I needed to see a little bit of home. I prayed to be able to see Braden.  My prayer was answered when we were put in each other’s path. He teared up when he talked about when Zac bore his testimony at his setting apart. I loved seeing him and I know we’ll have more time to see each other.

        REBECCA! Thank you so much for writing me a dear Elder. I really loved hearing from you and how your life is going. It made my day. Hope everything is going well for you and please keep in mind that if you need to ask me anything I’m always willing to do my best to answer your questions. Thank you again for writing me!!

         I just want to say, mother I love you and thank you for all that you do for me. I’m not sad that you haven’t been writing me I totally understand.  You’re all busy with the move and such. You are in my prayers and I hope everything works out fabulously. I’m glad you’re all safe and doing well. I always think of you guys as well and I love hearing the stories.  Again that picture of Maddie made me laugh out loud. I love her and I can totally picture her whimpering as she’s trapped in the hamper.

      

          Is it weird that I'm not afraid to leave the MTC?  I'm actually very excited.  Excited to leave everything and move on to something new.  The others are nervous and little excited.  Am I missing something? I know it's going to be very difficult, but I know that with the Lord on my side I can do anything; at least that's how I feel.

I love it here and every time I say my prayers I thank the Lord for this opportunity to be here as a missionary and then for my family’s safety. I love everything!  I’m so blessed.  LOVE YOU ALL so much.

Love Always,

Soeur Hunt

It's been a crazy week


  I’m going to agree that it’s been a crazy week.  So many things to do, so many lessons to plan. My companion and I have to write 2 more 20 minute lessons for our (amis) investigators" as well as a 45 minute lesson about the apostasy and Restoration. We'll be focusing mostly on Lessons from Liberty Jail, by Elder Jeffery R. Holland. IF you have not read it, you're missing out. It's amazing. In it he says, "Remember that God has not forgotten you and that the Savior has been where you have been, allowing Him to provide for your deliverance and your comfort."  There are so many things to learn from our trials and of our Lords love for us.  Even in times of trouble. If you have the time, please go read it.

          Another thing I learned was from Sunday night.  I was watching a talk given by Elder Bednar on the, Character of Christ. It. Is. Amazing!  It really changes your perspective on how you go about life. Try and look it up on YouTube, BYU Idaho. He gave it when he was in the MTC, and they don’t record those for the public like all the rest but try. I really felt the spirit. I want to become more like Christ.  He says, “Get over yourself!  It's not about you”! I just love the way he gave his talk with such authority and devotion.  He also said, "A testimony isn’t enough. You HAVE to be converted." Conversion is turning away from the natural man. Focus on others, even in your most trying times. THATS the Character of Christ. Please try and see if you can watch it. You’ll love it immensely. It will change your perspective. I'm trying, here a little, there a little to be a little better to become like Christ. "Our prayers are heard. And when we weep He and the angels of heaven weep with us." He knows how we feel, and He is always by our side.  When you get the chance, READ/watch them both, please.

           So my district and I were asked to host during the MTC tour on Tuesday. I loved it so much! It was so fun. I mean I was put right next to a room where a few Elders were testifying because that was their job and showing a 3 minute video as part of the tour. My Companion and I were situated right outside the room. Sometimes it would get backed up as the video was going with another group waiting but that gave us time to chat with the visitors. I loved chatting to people, other than missionaries. We had some great conversations and I was able to answer some of their questions. There was a little 7 year old girl that came in who is in some language emersion school speaking French. Holy Cow! I was being shown up by a 7 year old. I had no idea what she was saying. She was talking so fast. Eventually her mom came over and told her to talk slower because, "This missionary doesn’t understand the language very well..." Yeah.  It was embarrassing but I still loved it. I did have some other cool conversations. There were these cute little girls, 12, 9, and 7. They all were blond and stunning bright blue eyes. I asked them their names, and asked them if they wanted to go on a mission and where they wanted to serve. They did and all said they wanted to go to Hawaii :) They were so cute and I loved getting to know people.   Later on my companion and I wanted to try out the testifying room because we wanted to bear a 60 second testimony. One companion bares her testimony in English while the other gets the video ready.  Soeur Bennett, bore hers and my job was to thank them and ask them to head out the back to continue on the rest of the tour. When I thank them for coming asked them to head out the back they just stared at me. It was kind of awkward because it looked like they didn’t understand what I had just asked them to dot. I know they understood me because they spoke English with me previously outside the room.  Finally, one woman spoke up and said," Wait, aren’t you going to bare your testimony in French?" I thought she was kidding.  I chuckled but they kept looking at me. So I said with another chuckle, "Sure if you want me to”.  They gave me a very serious look and said, "Yes we do."  No pressure, but good thing no one in this group spoke French.  As I was bearing my testimony I was immediately overcome by the spirit. The people in front of me were members, converts, inactive and so forth. So I was really testifying to these people who I learned to love in just a few short minutes outside the video room. I was bearing my testimony in French when I started to get chocked up. The spirit was very much in the room.  When I finished I realized I had forgotten there were people sitting in front of me since I started testimony. The woman who asked me to bear my testimony wiped away tears.  I know she felt the same thing I did.

              Fun fact! My residence is R9 which is the only new residence at the MTC, so blessed am I.  Right now it’s being shown for tours. So now I always have to come in through the back doors. My residence is the 4th floor from where everyone walks through on the main level.  So when you come through the tour you can just think that I lived 4 floors up from where you are walking!  During the next 5 days during the tour and because they’re doing some repairs in our classroom we’ve moved to the 1st floor.  I’m going to miss the view from our classroom but I’m glad it’s only for 5 days

            Things have been getting tougher. I've been more stressed out and I've had some frustrating moments, but I know I’m learning from them. I feel as though I’m learning very slow and everyone else is picking it up very fast. The thing with the French language is that the sentences are mixed up. No big deal I'm used to it.

In English we do: Subject + Verb +Indirect Object (I love you)

In French they do: Subject +Indirect Object +Verb (I you love) or (je vous aime)

          Yeah, I don’t know, they have too many rules, but I’m learning it very slowly. We're also learning about direct objects and pronouns.  It’s super confusing.

           I know I’m not the only one getting stressed. Last Saturday an Elder had a panic attack and had to have a blessing.  Later that day in class we had an object lesson and we had to run outside. Then we ran up 4 flights of stairs, and when I say "we" I mean they... Yeah I already climb the stairs to the 4th floor for exercise  every time I go to class I’m not going to run up them in a skirt.

          Sorry I forgot to tell you. My companion and I and the other two sister missionaries and four other Elders tried out to be in a devotional where all missionaries go to listen to a general authority  by singing Childs Prayer.  It’s hard to make it in.  I don’t think we’ll make it but it would be a really great experience. It was pretty fun trying out.

        I hope things cool down; my brain can't handle too much more :)  It's tough, very tough. I know I'm here for a reason, I know I'm here to invite and help others come unto the Lord I just need to keep in mind my Why. It's not about me; it's about the Lord and my amis. I pray for peace, I pray for guidance, I pray for patience and understanding as I go about things. Thank you for all your help in everything.  I'm glad I'm here and learning a ton.


Love you Tons! Love you all! Love you Maddie!

Love Soeur Hunt


P.S. I think I actaully leave the 14th of August not the 15th. Thats what I heard.

This week was FABULOUS!


There is so much for me to say!  I only have an hour to email and you think that’s enough, but until you're actually typing or writing down your experiences you realize how much actually happens in a day. Sometimes you think well, nothing really happened today but as a matter of fact, there is always something to record and remember, even the littlest of things.

This week was FABULOUS. I haven’t had a hard time at all adjusting to mission life. I don’t even think about not having my phone. Seriously, this is not hard for me to adapt to.  It's another adventure that I can’t wait to experience more of.  I learn so much all the time. The devotionals are amazing. Just last Tuesday we had Bruce C. Hafen, a General Authority, come and speak with us. He spoke on how, faith is not blind. It was very good.  I learned that we just need to forget that what we think is best for us and let our loving Father take over. He knows what’s best.

Just the other day my companion and I were teaching an investigator (just an actor), Jean-Baptiste, and no it’s not John the Baptist, that’s just a common French name.  Anyways, we were teaching him about the atonement and repentance as well as the doctrine of Christ, which is baptism by emersion, repentance and receiving the gift of the Holy Ghost by the laying on of hands.  Anyways, we were going to ask him to get baptized, since it was about our 4th lesson. Right before I entered the room that he was waiting in I said a prayer to myself asking that I might be led by the spirit. I mean I had bullet points on what I wanted to translate from English to French, even though I knew it wouldn't sound good. I asked Heavenly father to help me know what to say and be comforted and also be able to get by and have Jean know enough of what I was saying to understand. As soon as I was bearing my testimony in French I felt the spirit so strong.  In previous lessons it never turned out like this. In fact, in was pretty terrible. I mean I didn't know how to teach in French. But this lesson was so much more, so much more powerful and the spirit was definitely in the room. I bore my testimony and was getting choked up I almost started crying. This was also right after Jean, the ami (investigator/actor) said he wanted to get baptized. So I was thrilled. My testimony in French went something like this, "I know that God lives. The Spirit is true. Baptism important for eternal life. Church true. In the name of Jésus-Christ. Amen." I knew we all felt the Spirit. It was so special. Then the investigator/actor turned out to be my teacher the next day and then all spiritual feelings were replaced with embarrassment.   He’s so nice. He never told us that we were terrible or that we needed to improve in anything. He said he loves missionaries and that we were not exactly teaching Jean Baptiste but more him. We strengthened him and his love for our Father.

Mom, everything you do for me is amazing.  I loved what you wrote in my family journal, I love that, because it’s probably true and I'm going to really work on it. I want to love the country, love the work, and love the people. So thank you.

Mason (Stuart) I cried a little when I read your letter to me. I miss you and I can’t wait to see you again. I cried at the part that said, "My advice is don't freak out about the spiders, I know you can handle it... I'm proud of you..."  Yeah I know weird spot to cry, but I'll miss you saying that to me. I'm almost getting teary eyed writing this to you. Anyways... thanks for the advice LOL. Oh and I prayed for you and your driving test. Hope it went well.

Bryce, thank you for your words, I loved them and can’t wait for my own experiences. Do you remember Soeur Larsen? She went to Lyon and remembers you. She’s my SYL (Speak Your Language) teacher.

Kenzie, I love what you said, "...use every second possible to do the Lord’s work. You can’t get any of the time back and it will go so fast, make sure that each moment you are focused on the Lord’s work... Have no regrets when looking back..." I love that, because I don't want any regrets by the end of my mission thinking what I could’ve done better.

My comp and I spend every second we can studying the language, waiting in lines and whenever else.  I also really found my love for reading the scriptures and now I can’t seem to put them down. I love it! So thank you.

I have more to say and I'll make sure to write more about each person and what impact they had on me from each of their journal letters. I promise. I'm just limited on time right now.

Story time! this might be rated PG 13 LOL. So apparently part of Germany is in our mission boundaries so Berlin won’t let us into their country, just in case we go into Germany, without checking to see if we have parasites first. So the medical office here took our blood samples and then... ok... and then, *gags*,we all had to poop in a cup (feel free to skip any of this next part) and take a 1/2 inch piece off and put it into a little jar and mix it up so there are no... chunks... Good thing I didn't have to poop on demand because I wouldn’t have been able to. Oh and medical closed at 7pm and I was in class which meant I had to do my business and sleep with it by my pillow and bring it with me to breakfast because I had breakfast before medical opened and I needed to eat and wouldn’t have time to go to my room to get it or I’d be late .... yeah... how do you even handle a situation like that?! Geezz!!
I did get the packages. Thank you! I just LOVED the cricket sucker you two gave me... It tasted sooooooo yummy.... yeah no that’s gross. I didn’t expect that. I gave it to another roomy and she flipped out because she hates bugs... so you both caused a great deal of entertainment this past week. Send me another one! I'll put it in the sharing bin and see what happens LOL...
I love the dearelder letters, I love hearing from you all. Tell people they can write me anytime. I love mail!!  Tell Ashely to write me!! I need to talk to her LOL.

My companion’s food is way healthier than mine because she goes to the diet room where people go to get their food who have certain food allergies. See the photo comparison. My food is at the top of the photo. Yeah and that's the best choice I could find. No joke, no fruits or anything healthy. Sugar cereal and donuts and muffins. For an organization that stresses healthiness, they don't do a very good job at it LOL.  I'm eating as best as I can. I have a salad for lunch and dinner every day and soup and lots of fruit. OH well I'm grateful I don't have to cook. Bless their hands and hard work.  I’m running a mile a day with lots of arm and core workouts. It’s brutal, but I like it. 

I love my companion and wouldn't ask for anyone else. We went to bed at 10 the other night because we were very tired. We made had a deal that if we didn’t turn lights out at 10 I’d have to run a mile without stopping... I was in bed by 9:50. If she didn't then I told her she had to say all the prayers in French for all the meals, because I'm bad at it, (and I learn from her doing it). Oh we also say the same things in unison a lot. It's freaking the Elders out. For example:

Elder: "what language are you Sisters learning?"

us: *in unison* "French"

Elder: "Cool, where are you going?"

us: *in unison* "Paris"

Elder: "wow, you work together pretty well huh..?"

Another day in classroom, the teacher asked us what "besoin" meant and together in unison we both said, "NEED!" We laughed and gave each other knuckles. It's quite funny.

The languages in my building are cool. I'm on the fourth floor and we take the stairs all the time. It’s painful but effective. The 6th floor I think are the Asian languages so I see Walker Gentry a lot. Its' great.

There are a lot of Elders that are way cute in our zone. We got way lucky... Don’t worry everyone! I'm focused and I’m not going to elope!

We had the sacrament on Sunday in French.  I definitely forgot that was going to be a thing and I was really confused. It was really neat to hear the sacrament prayer in French.  I LOVE singing in French from the hymn book, It’s so pretty and it gets me thinking that I’ll be speaking and singing fluently like that shortly.

On Sunday we watched the New Testament.  You guys should watch it if you haven’t yet. Anyway it’s the closest thing to a chick flick you’ll get on the mission.  Jacob flirts with this girl and everyone watching is laughing. I turn around to see this Elder hitting himself in the face and rocking back and forth muttering to himself. It was very funny, but after a while it got annoying. I get it; you all miss dating. But pull it together I'm trying to learn about Jesus. Elders are the best and I love missionaries. ;)
Glad Stocks farewell went well. Love that kid!



Another thing that happened was a sister missionary in another group had extra In-and-Out fries and asked if we wanted them. We did!  It was yummy. Their mission President here surprised them with In-and-Out and they had extra. It was a nice surprise and treat for the end of our day yesterday. Oh and I just taught my companion to do laundry. She's never done it before. Glad I could help.

Love you all and I love hearing what you are doing. Glad the house is going well. Dad I'll write you in a little bit, I have some things I need to ask you.  Love you and be safe, I'm praying for you!  

Love Always,
Soeur Hunt



P. S. People can write me whenever I love getting mail!

Bonjour! (First p-day email)


       BONJOUR!
 
The MTC is pretty great. There is so much to do all the time and I feel like I've been here for 4 days already! My residence is in the newer buildings so I feel special! I walked into my class room, (which is in the new building) first thing I did when I got here, and my host had told me to prepare myself because my teacher was going to be speaking all in French. Apparently I didn’t do a great job at preparing myself because I was still very stunned. I just nod and say, "Oui, ca-va..." Assuming he is asking me if I understand. But, it's so cool learning the language. I enjoy it so much. I actually can understand most of what he is saying, but there are a few phrases here and there I need to learn.
        My companion is Soeur Bennett and she is so awesome. I love her and I couldn't have been paired with anyone more perfect for me. She is a health FINATIC. She has told me, "You can consider me a hippie." She eats a lot of organic foods. She LOVES working out doing a ton of exercises. I guess for me, its good and bad. On one hand I get to work out and stay fit and on the other I might die because I'M SO OUT OF SHAPE.  She has studied French before and knows about as much as me. She is only a couple weeks older than I am.  She loves the French language and always wants to practice it, which, is good with me!
        I opened the present you guys gave me, the journal, and I started crying. Thank you so much, I had no idea you were doing that for me. It meant so much and I'm savoring it all. Father, I really liked what you said. It really got me thinking.  I'll keep pondering on that. Mother thank you so much for putting that journal together. I LOVE IT. And Jeff... yours just made me smile and shake my head... but thank you.
       These pictures are of me and my companion and some Sisters and Elders that are going to Paris as well and some of our classroom! Some are going to Canada, actually a lot are, but it's all cool.  It's funny because a lot of the Elders really don't know any French and it's funny to watch, but I help as best I can with translating for them.
        I'll send you the email and you just send it to whoever wants it. I'm pretty sure we were already planning that, but my brain is scrambled and I can’t really remember. Speaking of brain being scrambled, boy have I felt overwhelmed, SO many things to do and so little time. I am nonstop working and preparing for lessons and preparing to teach investigators and sitting in classrooms for 3 hours learning nothing but French. I got a headache from that... We have a ton of teachers teaching us the gospel and how to prepare. I really do love it, I just need to remember that the Lord is looking out for me and that it’s normal to feel this way.
    How's the family and Maddie and the house going? When do you start moving?  I love you all so much and I hope you are all doing fabulous. I guess now you can tell that Friday's are my P-Days! Oh and I signed up for choir! Hehe, Anyways stay safe
LOVE ALWAYS
Soeur Hunt

"I'm OK" first letter from the MTC



Hello,


This is my first email from here at the MTC! I just got to my room and was introduced to my teachers. They only speak French. WOW. yeah... I'm OK I just finished my panic attack and now I'm breathing well.  Just kidding, :)  I'm actually doing pretty well. I love it so far. OH! and guess what? My companion is Sister Kathrine Bennett. Talk later with more details;)


Love,
Soeur Sarah Hunt
