Hey Familia,
Como esta? Gracias for the packages that were sent this week, I really appreciate it.
On Friday, for P-Day we get up about the same time or earlier to score some washers/dryers because it gets pretty full. Even at 5:30!! We do laundry mainly and then we can do whatever we want for our personal time; write letters, take a nap, or go work out. Even if it is our P-Day we still have 50 minutes to work out. There really isn't anything else I'm craving. I'm just a little tired of eating processed food that is made for a lot of people. Sometimes you can even tell it's fake food. If it's like that, the otras hermanas and I won't even eat what they have.
I am so glad that we got the big canvas bag, IDK how I would carry all I need to w/o it. I enjoyed General Conference a lot! We sat in a big auditorium to watch it and loved it even if I fell asleep a few times :) Living the missionary life!! I loved Sister Dalton's talk and the one about marriage because you can apply those principles that we were taught to any aspect of your life. During the Priesthood session, the Sister missionaries went to an overflow room to watch the YW Broadcast, which was really good but we are in RS, I mean come on MTC, jk! I loved it!! I was so sad to see that Sister Dalton was released!
All of my outfits are great, I have worn every single thing that we bought so far and have even had to recycled some outfits. I needed to have two skirts taken to alterations because the slit in the back didn't cover the back of my knee all the way, so I haven't worn those skirts yet, but I will. I don't feel like I took too many clothes yet. Some of my outfits that are my favorite, are just a plain white t-shirt and a cardigan or one of the shirts from the missionary mall with a cardigan, I just match a skirt with it. I haven't tried curling my hair yet so I will try to do it sometime.
On P-Day, we do get to go to the temple for three hours. I love it! We don't really get to go outside very much because we are inside learning and developing our skills to be great missionaries.
This week's devotional was Gerald N. Lund which I know will kinda make mom jealous because he wrote The Work and the Glory books. He spoke on personal revelation; on what it is and isn't. I thought it was interesting, the way he talked on this subject. You can get personal revelation not only from God which is the right revelation but also from Satan. We need to always have the spirit with us to receive the correct revelation.
Yesterday, we got chastised by our teachers by not pulling our weight and some of the people in my class just fool around and talk when we should be studying. He showed us some things and it changed my perspective a lot. I am not here to make friends. It would be nice but I'm not here to make friends. I am here to serve the Lord. It is his time that was wasted not ours. I am dealing with people's salvation in my hands and that a big enough burden to bear as a missionary. This is the Lord place and we can do what we will with it but I do not want to be accountable to God for not giving my best 110% and for losing one of his precious children because I couldn't learn what I needed to learn.
I really love y'all and the support you have given me. I just wish I could give y'all big hugs and such.
Love ya and miss ya lots,
Hermana Fitzpatrick
