So we were surprised by Elder Quentin L. Cook of the Quorum of the 12 yesterday, and he came and gave us our Tuesday night devotional, which was pretty cool. And he gave us some insight as to how they choose where each missionary will serve. And a lot of it he said was based off of the mission president and their wife, which was something I had never really thought of. And that just made me really excited to meet President and Sister Senior in 5 short days!!
I said goodbye to my companion Sister Choi on Monday at 3:30am. Ya...it was a rough wake-up call and a really sad one at that. I had stayed up really late with her to help her pack and weigh her bags...so yup didn't get much sleep, and then once she was gone....it was just really strange and sad. Sister Choi was one of the best missionaries ever, and she truly was an amazing companion for me! She was always so kind and supportive, and she also got my humor, which was a plus. But I know she is probably loving it there in Hong Kong already and livin it up with her new companion. So I'm not too worried about her ;)
Another cool thing we got to do a few times this week was hosting. We hosted the new missionaries last week and then the Senior couples on Monday. It's funny how different those experiences were. The new missionaries are all just super frazzled, and the senior missionaries are just so ready to get out there and serve! I hosted this one couple who was going to Turks...and something in Jamaica, and this is there 6th mission!!!! Crazy right?! I think this is how mom and dad are gonna be :) They said that once they got started with missionary work, they just couldn't stop. They have served a few missions state-side, one in Africa...and I don't remember the rest. But they were all just super cute and so excited to serve the Lord! I hope that I look that excited, cuz I honestly feel like sometimes I just must look really stressed out and overwhelmed....like I am right now when I think about leaving Provo in 5 days to go to THAILAND?!? What the heck!?
Me and Sister Hunsaker. I love her.
Well that's about it for this week! I can't believe this is my last p-day here at the MTC! But I am so grateful for everyone that I've met here, my 3 companions that I was blessed to work with, my teachers, and all of you who have supported me thus far! It's already been quite the journey here, so I can only imagine how Thailand is gonna be....HOT i'm guessing :) But I can't wait to get out their and serve the Lord in what ever calling!
And I recommend you all to read D&C 14. It's a lot like D&C 4, but I think section 14 talks a lot more about our role as members in this last dispensation. Every member a missionary!!!
Next time I write all of you will be in Thailand!!!!
Love always,
Sister Lam
