Week Five

Em is halfway through her time in the MTC.  She wrote and said she starting getting night terrors and although she doesn't remember anything it apparently scares her poor roommates pretty bad!  Sleeping must have been overall  rough this particular week.  Emily said the fire alarm went off in the middle of the night one night and everyone had to evacuate.  If you know Emily you know she is NOT a morning person and HATES to be woken up.  She even admitted in this weeks email that she was beyond grumpy sitting in the parking lot in the middle of the night wondering which sister burnt popcorn.  She said the police and fire department all came just to learn that it was a malfunction.  Also this week, Emily said her Espanol was coming along but 'slowly.'  She said she might be slow at Spanish but she has a very strong desire to teach and bring people to Christ and work hard.  She added her teachers are wonderful and that her goal everyday is just to progress a little more than the day before.  She said that she knows no matter how difficult the task the Lord asks us to accomplish it is possible if we trust and have faith that the Lord can help us.  It does no good to be negative and discouraged or stress if anything it just puts you back a few steps.  This week Emily's 'trio' really tried to listen more to each other as a companionship when they taught so they taught the lesson and for the first time it clicked, all three of them worked together in unity Emily said the spirit was so strong!  This week the Provo Temple was closed and they allowed the missionaries to clean it.  Emily said the sisters cleaned all the chandlers and that it was too cool.  Emily ended her letter by saying one of her teachers told her she'd the ideal missionary and we know it!
