Muchas gracias for the package!!!! It was really nice because it was my first one!!! The galletas (cookies) are DELICIOUS!!!!!! I LOVE THEM!!! THe falda (skirt) is muy bonita, pero it is too big. I might take it to alterations but I do not know if they will have it done in time. If I gain a ton of weight it will fit, so ask me next year if it fits :) It is SUPER CUTE though and I really appreciate you sewing it for me. People really do compliment me on the things you sewed me. They are mi favoritas ropas!!! I do not think your faith is weak, but the Lord doesn't deliver us from our trials all the time. We watched the mormon message Mountains to Climb yesterday, and you simply have a mountain to climb. Keep pushing on!!! Peter 1:7 is one of my absolute favorite scriptures, and I hope it helps. You will receive blessings from this, I KNOW IT!!!! On Sunday I because the new coordinating sister along with another hermana in my distrito. I had been praying for ways to serve those around me better and the Lord answered!!!! This week I also prayed to know the vision that the Lord has for me during my mission. The only answer I got was LOVE. I am going to learn to love people more than I can imagine now. The Lord has begun teaching me now!!! Even just these past 3 or 4 days my capacity to love has increased. One companionship is having some hard times, and I only wanted to help them. I have not prayed so hard for someone else in a long time!!!! I truly love all these hermanas that I am privileged to serve! I LOVE THEM and am so agradecido (grateful) for the opportunity to serve them. Our zone gets a new district today, so I get to take them on a tour tomorrow and I am super excited!!! OH SOMETHING I FORGOT LAST WEEK. MY DISTRICT GOES TO CHOIR EACH WEEK AND LAST WEEK THEY FILMED US SINGING. IN BETWEEN SESSION (I DO NOT KNOW WHICH SESSIONS) THEY WILL DO A SPECIAL ON THE MTC AND SHOW US SINGING. PLEASE WATCH!!! I AM IN THE BOTTOM LEFT OF THE CHOIR WEARING THE BLUE SWEATER WITH A YELLOW SHIRT. HOPE YOU CAN SEE ME!!! This week we are having a sacrament meeting with the WHOLE MTC!!!!! Easter is fantastic, and I have the opportunity to sing in the choir again. The choir director here teaches us so much more than just how to sing. I have learned how to truly worship while I sing and the significance of singing. I LOVE IT!!! My district is also singing in our zone meeting/fast and testimony meeting. I am playing the flute, so please pray that I can play. I decided I wanted to overcome my fear of playing in front of people while I am here. Cool thing of the week: My amiga, sister andrea cutler, her report date got moved up so she is at the mtc already. I wanted to see her SOOO bad, but for two days couldn't find her anywhere. I prayed that I would be able to see her on Sunday and I KNEW the Lord was going to answer my prayer. I just knew!!! My district came back early from our temple walk to have a little "picnic" and so the MTC was pretty empty. Only two sisters were walking in front of us. One of them kind of looked like Sister Cutler, so my companion called out her name and it was!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It was so fantastic to see her!!!!!!! This week my testimony of prayer was strengthened SOOO MUCH!!!! I AM SO PRIVILEGED TO DO THE LORD'S WORK!!! i love you all SOO MUCH!!!!
