As expected, Natalie loved the MTC. She has made some choice relationships already, and loves her district. Here's an excerpt from one of her letters:
I am loving it more
each day at the MTC. Through many devotionals and classes, I have learned to
not just pray but have sincere pray with faith. It really works to sit there
and pray for answers. As companions we had a fast starting sunday night going
into monday morning. Some of the teaching that we practice is at the TRC. They
have members, nonmembers, and less active people who are all actors and have
volunteered to let us practice on them. We were given a girl who was known to
be difficult to teach so we thought we would fast together for extra strength
and to know what to say to her. Well we didn't even get in the door. It was a
big lesson though and even though the purpose of the fast did not work, it
helped in a lot of aspects at least for me. I was able to really come closer to
Christ and be humbled. We were able to come back a few days later and we got in
but confused her and not able to commit her to anything. She did help us learn
what we needed to work on though. I think that we learn a lot more when a
teaching practice goes bad. I love it though and appreciate this time we do
have to learn.
