Do you want to build a snowmaaaaannnn?? ❄️

Hei alle sammen!

I have now completed my first two weeks of MTC and it's been quite the ride so let's get going!

My first week was online and that was just 6+ hours of zoom calls everyday, but now I'm at the provo mtc and am having a blast! My comp is awesome! We have had lots of fun getting to know each other and have had lots and lots of laughs. It's been so fun getting to know my district! We've been able to really help each other out with adjusting to missionary life and so that's been such a blessing.

So I would like to share a quote each week on one of the main things I learned, and this week's is:

"The joy we feel has little to do with the circumstances of our lives and everything to do with the focus of our lives." - President Russell M. Nelson 

To be honest, the beginning of the week was kind of overwhelming and there have been times where I got really worried about lessons, the language, etc. But there was one night where I prayed to Heavenly Father to just give me peace and guidance. Then that was when I woke up the next morning and realized I hadn't even been there a week and still had time to get the hang of things 😂. But in a discussion I had with my district I remembered that joy is not the same as happiness and that we can have joy even in the hardest of times as long as we look to and focus on Christ. When it rains on us (or snows in this case, refer to pictures:) we are going to get drenched no matter what so it's our choice whether or not to sulk and be sad or dance and have joy and remember that flowers can't grow without the rain. 

I know that Jesus Christ loves us and is very mindful of us and I know that if we focus on Him we can find joy in any situation.

Kia haha! Just keep swimming!
