Hey All!!
It's my first offical P-day! The MTC is going well so far. I
am companions with Sister Olsen like I was hoping and she has been a real
blessing! We get along really well and we've been teaching an
"investigator" named Robert (he told us he really is just a teacher).
It's been a cool experience to teach him especially in a different language
where my vocab is SO limited! But for being here already a week I can say quite
a bit! It has been a challenge to not be able to say everything that I need to
say exactly but if the spirit is there then I don't need to worry becuase I
know The Spirit will testify to Robert the things I am trying to say. Today
Sis. Olsen and I are going to try and invite him to be baptized! Wish us luck!!
The district is really great! There are 10 of us going to
Indonesia and only two of us sisters. There's an elder from New Zeland,
Australia and one from Ohio. The other 7 of us are from Utah. Haha so funny
story! The Elder from New Zealand's name is Elder Hobbs, like hobbit! AND he
lives like an hour to an hour and a half away from where they filmed some of
the Lord of the Rings movies (how cool?!). So one of the Elders was telling a
story about this kid who had to run a mile for help bare foot and Elder Hobbs
was like "oh that's no big deal" and then his companion goes "Of
course it's no big deal to you, we can't all be hobbits!" HAHA it was
really funny at the time, especially becuase we had been studying all day.
I got to see Elder Browning, Elder Maddox, Elder
Downs and Elder Warner this past week. And actually a lot of other Elders
that I know but those are the two I was most excited to see. Elder Browning was
getting mail while I was checking into the MTC and we shoke hands and were on
our way (I was in a line and it was moving so I couldn't talk for long). Then
Elder Maddox and Elder Downs (an elder who lived accross the hall from me at
USU and basically was in my appartment all the time) live in the same area and
I see them around campus a lot. Then I saw Elder Warner at the tuesday
fireside. It was SO nice to see him!! We talked and each bore our testimony to
each other in our Languages (he's going to Denmark). He's leaving the MTC here
soon! How exciting!!!
So the MTC really is one of the coolest
"institutions" there is! I love learning about the gospel all the
time! Really I do just love studying about it. And Indonesian is SO cool! I
love this language and feel really very blessed to be able to learn it and to
serve there. Besides the hygiene hand (the two foreign Elders just learned
about this...poor Elders) this is the country for me. I am really excited to go
and teach the people in Indonesia and to someday be able to speak this fun and
amazing language!
Becuase I love the language so much I would like to bare you
my testimony in it. It's simple but I believe that by small and simple things,
great things come to pass :)
Here it goes!!
Saya tuah bahwa Yesus Kristus hidup. Dia kasih kita dan mati
bagi kita. Saya tuah bahwa Kitab Mormon benar dan Gereja Yesus Kristus dari
Orang-orang suci Zaman Akhir adalah benar. Saya bersyukur bagi Bapa Surgawi dan
saya keluarga. Dalam nama Yesus Kristus, Amin.
I love you all and thank you for your prayers. I am so
blessed to have such amazing people in my life. Spread the gospel!! Don't be
afraid to open your mouth and show people that you live and love this church.
Keep on keeping on!!
Love,
Sister Sperry :)
