Easter in the MTC

This week we hit our one month mark at the MTC! It's so crazy to think we've already been here that long. By the end of this month we'll actually be in Hong Kong, that's insane. Our Cantonese is getting better, it's still very bad, but getting less bad. Sometimes our teacher corrects us on some grammar and we all look at her like we have no idea what she's talking about (because we don't) and she goes AYAYAYA.
Both of our pretend investigators are doing good! I love teaching them. It still makes me so sad when they ask why they need Jesus, even though I know they're not real. Why doesn't the whole world understand that they need Jesus? Ugh.
Easter Sunday was amazing. M Russell Ballard came to speak to us.  He was awesome. He told a story about a dream his grandfather had about seeing Jesus. In the dream the man didn't know that the man was Jesus he just knew that He filled him with so much love that he fell to his feet, and it wasn't until he was at his feet that he saw the nail prints and knew the man was Jesus. All day my heart was so full of gratitude for our Savior. At choir on Sunday we practiced the song Praise to the Man, then we sang it at the devotional on Tuesday. Before I left I read that little book about Nancy Tracy and in it she talked about how much she loved Joseph Smith. I thought about her as we sang and it made me happy to know that she was with me. Another thing I've been thinking about this week is my little brothers and how grateful I am for them:) I think my brothers are stupid enough that they laugh at literally everything. They taught me (maybe this is a bad thing actually) that it doesn't matter what the situation is, you can always find a way to laugh at it. Life is so happy and I'm very thankful that those weird boys with huge eyes helped me to see that. When things get stressful here, I remember the teasing and jokes and their hilarious laughter and it helps me every time. Anyways, I'm sorry again that I never really remember anything that happened in the week by PDAY, and that every email is kind of the same. I hope all is well for you, love you! :)
