Hello family!
All is well here at the MTC! T-14 days and counting! We get our travel plans on Thursday. I am so excited and nervous but oh so ready to go help the people of Taiwan.
I went to the doctor Monday because my ankle is still hurting and bending it certain ways killed. He had me get x rays. Nothing is broken or fractured. I just sprained my ankle. I will be fine for Taiwan.
No I did not get the flu! However one day for my district there was only 4 there out of 8! Our district got hit the hardest out of our whole zone. It was really sad. However, I think we have weathered the storm and now everyone is starting to feel better. Just in time to go to Taiwan.
I just got back from the temple. Me, Sisters Anderson, Adams, Steed, Thomson, and Merrill all did an endowment session together with our family names. It was an amazing experience to be with all of them with our family names!
It's been an uneventful week with all of us being sick. New Year’s night many spent the night sipping lemonade as our mission presidency joked. However, I just went to bed at 10 30. What a surprise.
Saturday at the TRC I had a tender mercy. Elder Heaton and Kime a couple weeks ago taught Chad Faulkner at the MTC. They told me he made the connection. I was sad I did not get to see him but hoped I would get the chance. This past week has been rough. by Saturday I just wanted to lay down and quit. We knocked on the door at TRC the door opens and there is Chad Faulkner. It was nice to just see a familiar face. I was so grateful that God was looking out for me.
So here is my spirtitual thought for you all
What would Jesus feel?
As missionaries there will be times our investigators don't follow through on their commitments. I might just shrug it off but this is eternal life on the line. I should feel what Jesus feels when they do this. That is sad and disappointed.
In all areas of life we can apply this. We need to feel what Jesus feels for the people that surround us. If they are doing good things we should feel happy but if not we should be sad.
One last thing!
Happiness is a choice so choose it! I have really come to learn that on my mission. I WILL not let others determine my happiness because it is in my power!
I love you all!
Sister Latimer
