WEEK 1

Gotten Tag!

 

Wow this week has been crazy! The MTC is really diffrent then I thought it would be for sure!!! The food is great, my comp is Sister Jessie Linford, we meet awhile back and had lunch after finding eachother on Facebook of all places. She is an amazing person, so strong in the gospel and is really great at dealing with all my crazy desires to go and climb trees and hang upside down on the pull up bar (pictures to follow). The language program is inspired. I have all ready taught two lessons in German, the first one we won't talk about however the second on was amazing! The spirit was there, communication was up with both Ben our investigator understand our broken German and Linford and I being able to understand most of what he said IF he talked extremly slowly and used simple words...but its only been less then 5 days and for that time I would say that even that was a miracle. It has been diffrent then I even thought it would be, harder in some areas that I did not expect and easier in some that for sure the spirit is helping me with.

You know I have a new found love for Sister missionaries. Despite being a sister missionary I think I came in here believing that I would be surrounded by all these 'sweet spirits'. However I have meet some amazing sisters that have taken some really hard roads to get here in the MTC and they are better people because of it. I am SO thankful for the atonement of Jesus Christ, it has gotten me and many others here to the MTC. During this week I have learned even more so that it is not just the mistakes that it makes up for, but that it comforts during the hard times. It gives hope during the dark days. When you are not so sure about the path that you are headed down, it continues to offer strength. I LOVE MY SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST! I am so thankful to be here going through these good/hard experinces. It has already given my a new insight on the atonement and on how much my Savior does love me and everyone else. For goodness sakes He asks those in the prime of their lives who have been blessed with the gospel to go forth with His love to teach those who are lost, to teach those people that our Savior Jesus Christ, the king of kings, the Alpha and Omaga, Him who has created EVERYTHING, LOVES them. Ya'll its all about the love. 'For God so loved (you and all those around you so much) that He gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have even lasting life'.

You guys thank you so much for all the support. I know that this is truly what the Lord is wanting from me. It is not easy, and it is something that I might not have choosen, however I have felt the spirit conform many times that I need to learn things, and this is the way He would like me to learn them.

All my love,

Sister Kimberly Bohne (Pronounced Bow-na in German)
