Be Prepared, I'll be coming home 'different'.....

We just received another letter from Sister Sloan today. She seems to be really enjoying her time at the MTC. Here is a little piece of her letter:

"So, so much is happening here and the time is counting down!!! So, guess what? Elder Holland spoke to us last night. His talk was great! One thing I learned is that it's ok to say the word 'stupid' at the pulpit as he said it at least 10 times. But, the one thing that he really spoke about was that none of us should go home the same person we are when we came out into the field. So, be prepared...when I get home I'm going to be different! Oh, I also convinced my companion to join the choir because I wanted to be on the big screen. Some of the Elders in my district knew I was super excited about it and so they were counting how many times I appeared on the screen and they said they saw me 6 times. Yes!!! haha. It was a good hymn "Come Thou Fount" but with a slightly different arrangement. I 'faked' singing half of it 'cause the notes were so high, but it was fun anyways.' This past week I have been trying to teach my district O Canada. Some of them are doing really well and will randomly start singing it during class. The words are right but the tune is off. Last Sunday, I gave a talk. I didn't really prepare very well. It was on faith in Jesus Christ so I told a story and then tried to relate it to faith. It was pretty interesting. People told me that it was really good but I can't figure out if it's just because it was super bad and they felt sorry for me or if it really was good. Haha. Anyways, I LOVE YOU ALL. Thanks for the letters. I love getting them. Oh, please tell the Wotherspoons that the chocolate was amazing!! Thank them so much. I already finished it.
LOVE YOU!!!! Sister Sloan"
