Week 1
Hello
all!
For those of you who
don't know, I'll be at the MTC (Missionary Training Center) for six weeks
before I go to Italy. Here I am learning Italian and how to teach.
It's been a whirlwind of
a week but my new favorite phrase is "C'e la fate!" which means
"You can do it!" This week has been filled with many new challenges
and also many new exciting things. I'm learning so much, but sometimes it is really
difficult! But this phrase has helped me keep a good perspective and remember
that I really can do this!
I know, however, that we
cannot do it alone. During one of our meetings this week we watched this video
clip. If you have second, I hope you'll take some time to watch it.
I love this quote from
Elder David A. Bednar. He said, "We mistakenly believe that we must
make the journey from good to better and become a saint all by ourselves,
through sheer grit, willpower, and discipline. But the Gospel of the Savior is
not simply about avoiding bad in our lives, it is essentially about doing and
becoming good. And the Atonement provides help for us to overcome and avoid
bad, and to do and become good."
I know that with the
help of Jesus Christ and his Atonement, we can have our burdens lifted, we can
be comforted when we are discouraged, and we can become who he wants us to
be.
I know that this is
true, and knowing this has helped me so much this week!
I love you all and hope
you are doing well. :)
Ciao,
Sorella Kaitlin
