Sister McKay Dickson: Week 2- I love Home MTC!

Hello family and friends! :)

I miss you all so much! I cannot believe it’s already another P-day. Home MTC has been flying by and it has been the best experience ever!! I learn so much every day and it just makes me more excited to get out into the field!

Things to Know:

Tomorrow at 10:30 Utah time I will be giving my farewell talk! Here is the link for anyone that would like to watch over zoom

Anyway, I had tons of awesome classes this week that helped me learn how to become a better teacher and missionary! My comp and I had some awesome TRC’s (where members portray people interested in the missionary lessons) over zoom. We were able to have 3 lessons and teach Cydney more about the nature of God and she said she felt so loved in our meetings! I had some fun things too! I went to dinner last p-day for my friend Tristan’s birthday, and I went to lunch with my pal Kennedi Hancey so we could catch up before we both leave on our missions! I also went to Jane’s bridal shower (my soon to be sister-in-law), and today for p-day I met my companion in person for lunch! It was so fun to finally meet her! Sister Bird makes me laugh SO hard you guys. I’m gonna be sad when we can’t be companions in Spokane, because we work so great together I also got to do baptisms with my family today as well! It was so cool getting to go to the temple as a missionary.

Story of the Week:

Last p-day I saw my future mission presidents at Walmart! I’m so excited to see them in Spokane in July! They make me so excited to get to serve with them in Spokane. We also had a district devotional this week on Tuesday and heard some awesome things about missionary work (no surprises there) and had a pajama watch party over zoom haha! We had some good laughs after the devotional was over, and I’m just so grateful for a district that helps me learn so much and have fun while doing it! :)

Thought:

My spiritual thought for this week is on prayer. Prayer is such a great way to communicate to God and feel His love. And He wants to guide us and answer our prayers so badly! He is just waiting for us to ask Him. If you are ever wanting to feel closer to Him or get some guidance, all you have to do is get on your knees! My teacher Sister Paul challenged us to pray aloud at least once this week and let me just say it was an awesome experience! I invite you all to try it and see how much love you feel from God after!

And keep in mind: 3 Nephi 18:20 - “And whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in my name, which is right, believing that ye shall receive, behold it shall be given unto you”.

I hope you all had a great week, and have a great one this week too. And send me an email because I would love to hear from you!

Love,

Sister Dickson
