Leaving the MTC! Inbox Lila Shumway Hey everyone, what's up! To all of my friends who are preparing to serve missions, get hyped for the MTC because it's a blast! (Even though the food at the cafeteria is literally the exact same food they serve at the BYU Cannon Center so I was sick of it a loooong time ago). My district is the best district around, I seriously could not ask for a better district. We've played a lot of volleyball, speed, and around the world haha. We've had so many hours of classes and devotionals. And one thing my district really liked to do together was to go to a random classroom with a piano and Elder Lemon would freestyle on the piano while Elder Hone and a few other elders would freestyle rap, it was super hype! My district has really become a family and it has been so hard to say goodbye. Half of our district left this morning and the rest of us leave tomorrow morning:((( Sister Anderson (my comp) and I were called to be Sister Training Leaders! So we were basically in charge of all the sisters in the branch and welcoming them in. Also, Sister Anderson is just the best! Would you believe me if I told you I was the taller one in the companionship? well it's true. But seriously, it is such a miracle how companions are paired together. Sister Anderson and I get along so well and we helped each other through a lot this week. I also saw so many friends from home while I was here. Elder Daniel Wellock, Elder Stu Wellock, Elder Rogers, Elder Mcbratney, and Elder Blonde. I encourage you to read Jacob 5! I know it's the longest chapter in the Book of Mormon, but I read it this week and noticed some super cool symbolism! Like how the servants in the vineyard asked for more time with the trees that were not producing good fruit, these servants represent past prophets in past dispensations. But the LAST servant asked for more workers to help the LAST trees and the trees ended up thriving! Just like how modern prophets (especially President Nelson) have called for more missionaries to gather Israel in these LAST days! Anyways, I thought that was amazing and the whole chapter really conveys God's love for His children so you guys should totally read it if you haven't read it in a while! I leave for Kansas tomorrow so wish me luck! Love you all! Love, Sister Lila Shumway
