Well everybody my time at the MTC is pretty much over! We have less days left than we have had weeks here and it's getting super real! The excitement in the zone about getting to our fields of labor is through the roof! We're going to be sad to say goodbye to everyone but it is crazy that this moment is here and this time next week I'll be doing the real thing somewhere out in Ukraine!  Now to this week! We've been having a great week we are putting in lots of hard work trying to make this last week the best we can and it has been super amazing so far! We've had a strong spirit with us and our Russian has been coming along really well also!! On friday we got our flight plans and I will be leaving the MTC on monday to go to PARIS and then from Paris we fly to Ukraine! We lucked out with our flight plans others in our zone have to leave pretty early but we'll each lunch here at the MTC or (the last supper) and then from there we'll all head out to the

Another amazing week!! It's crazy to me that my time here at the MTC is almost up! I only have one more P-day where I'll right you and then my weekly email after that will be from Ukraine! Many different things and experiences in the past week have been getting me excited to get to Ukraine and begin to serve the people there and share the message of the gospel with them! I love to serve and I love this work and I love the people of Ukraine. A few things that happened from this week! The Russian is coming along really well I feel like there is a break through everyday when I sit back and realize how far I've come it really is super amazing! I know it is only through the hand of the Lord and the gift of tongues that I have been able to learn as much as I have! I just am so excited about the language I love to speak it and study it and talk about it with others haha! I wish everyone knew a little Russian because then a lot more things I find funny and exciting about it wou

Another week down here at the MTC and it's crazy to think that I'll only have two more p-days here in the MTC and then I will be off to Ukraine joining all my fellow missionaries!! I'm really excited about getting there and beginning to invite the Ukrainians to come unto Christ! I have been blessed to have been raised in the gospel and always have it be a part of my life and I'm beyond grateful for the opportunity I have to bring that to others and gather scattered Israel! A little update on myself and how I'm doing it has been a really amazing week for me I'm finding out a lot about how I can be and instrument in the Lord's hands and what recognizing the spirit and following promptings that I receive really means. As I've worked and got better at it I really feel myself building that connection with the spirit and growing closer to the Savior and it gets me so happy and excited! I find great joy in serving others and always had, I'm happy to have

Another week is down at the MTC and this has been an exciting one! There is a lot of anticipation building for conference and everyone is getting really excited! I have never been so pumped about getting to hear from our leaders of the church and I'm so ready to hear from them and also learn for them! It's so important that we prepare ourselves for conference in a way that we can maximize what we learn from our leaders. When I say this I mean preparing ourselves spiritual to receive revelation for ourselves, coming with questions that we want answered, and being prepared to pay attention and listen to the messages that will be given! I would encourage everyone to get ready and be excited for conference! I know that if we will do this we can have an amazing experience! A little bit about my week now... We've been practicing every morning for choir so we wake up early before everyone else at 5:45 and get ready quietly and go over to what we call the
