MTC
I love being in the MTC. It is so wonderful to be somewhree where you are constantly surrounded with others that desire the same things that I do. We constancely can feel the the Holy Ghost guiding us in our studies to prepare us to teach our investagators.
Since my assigned companion didnt make it into the MTC. (no idea why wish they would tell me) I am in a trio of sisters. Sister Lee is from Henderson NV and Sister Calder is from Saratoga Springs, UT. They are both amazing and each have a powerful testimony that have strengthened mine. It feels as though we have been together forever. The love you feel so quickly for your companions is amazing. Our district and zone for right now has 7 missionarys, the three sister which all report to the florida tampa mission and the 4 elders (Raia, Edwards, Morse, and Busch) who are serving in the south dakota mission.
We have already recieved our travel plans for our flight to the mission field. We leave on monday the 15th for the mission home where we will stay the night then tuesday we will get our new assignment and zone. We "GET" to leave the MTC at 4 am in the morning to go to the airport. We fly into Alanta then on to tampa will land in tampa around 4 pm.
Some of you know that I lost my nametag before I even got to my room, well it was found and I have a name again :) I am starting to get used to Sister Sliger, but it still seems surreal to me. I never thought that the MTC would be so much fun. We spend our day learning about the gospel and laughing. My favorite quote so far as been,
That Obediance brings blessings and Exact Obediance brings miricles.
We have strived as a companionship to live for miricles. I loved watching conference in the MTC, it was funny to listen and hear an awesome quote and see all the head bow down to write it down at the same time. It was like having two days off in the mtc and we are feeling stressed as we only have 4 days of classes left here :{. I have been memorizing the 4th section of the doctrine of covenants and serving with all my heart, might, mind, and strength.
Some quotes I lvoed from conference
first that there are now 65,634 full time missionarys, and 20000 with calls and another 6000 in the process. Wow it is amazing and the Field is White and being harvested.
President Packer
We have no greater friend, fall and kneel before his wounded feet.
Stay in condition to respond to inspiration, each can know what they need to know.

Where ere you are, act well thy part
Elder Craig A Cardon
The savior forgives sins here on earth not just on the judgement day
Elder Richard G Scott
Satan will explit our weakness stay on the lords side and you will will every time
Elder Stanley G Ellis
We are not spiritual orphans, We are NOT Alone.. dont have to be lost.. We have been shone the way.
The church is true it is guided by apostles and prophets to direct us and help us stay on the path to fulfill our fathers work and return to live with him in glory again. He restored his gospel and the book of mormon was translated by the power of the holy Ghost to guide us through our lives. Live like a disiple of christ, our examples matter.
Love you all and miss you
Sister Sliger
