First week as a missionary!!

 Hi everybody!

(insert from mom: Jayda started home MTC on November 1, 2021 and will go to the Provo MTC on November 10, 2021)

I just want to start off by saying, I have such great teachers! Everyday has been jam packed with so much gospel learning, and every night, my head hits the pillow and I’m instantly out! To say the least, they have done a good job at keeping me busy. The first few days, I was having a hard time juggling everything we had to do each day, but I think I’ve finally gotten into the missionary groove Plus, I have the best district ever, and they help me look forward to my classes each day. Seriously though, they are the best and we all like each other so much that we take lots of pictures together and we like each others’ Facebook Posts! I can’t wait to meet all of them in person at the MTC in a few days!

I especially love my amazing companion Sister Barlow!! <3  She lives really close by so we were actually able to go to the temple together! Sister Barlow shares such great insights in class and in companion study, and I just have to say, I am so grateful she is my companion!  We have been able to teach a few trial lessons together. The first one was a little rocky haha, but we know we can only get better from there. Already, we are improving and understanding how to better teach people about the gospel. 

I would like to end with a scripture. 

D&C 88:119-

“Organize yourselves; prepare every needful thing; and establish a house, even a house of PRAYER, a house of FASTING, a house of FAITH, a house of LEARNING, a house of GLORY, a house of ORDER, a house of GOD.”

Being at home for most of the day, I realize the importance of living in a home where God can dwell. Have you established a house where God can dwell? If not, what is lacking, and how can it be improved?
