Elder Jenkins: Week 6

Hello everyone! How's life!

This week went by pretty fast! (although I really can't tell one day from another lol) But I'm still learning so much! Hopefully all your lives are more exciting than mine right now hahaha! Don't worry I'm still doing well, I just CAN'T WAIT TO GET TO TAHITI

This week was tough (like every week) and I'm trying to perfect French cause this is our last week of French! We start Tahitian on Monday. Nuts. It's weird to think that we'd be hopping on a plane this week if we didn't have to learn a second language. But, I'm sure it's gonna be worth it!

One day this week it smelled like smoke everywhere and it was so weird. Anyone know why? Speaking of, Elder Todd put some sort of Chinese cup of noodles in the microwave, and turns out the lid had tin foil in it. So the residence smelled like smoke all that night as well. At least we didn't burn anything down!

So some Elders and Sisters got chosen to be in the MTC Choir to sing in General Conference! Unfortunately I was not one of them hahaha! But it's aright, just look out for those good lookin Elders and Sisters with the prophets! Choir is still so fun, and we all have story time while we are waiting for it to start.

Probably the best part about this week is that IT RAINED YESTERDAY!

I love the rain. Super stoked for rainy season in Tahiti.

Sorry this is short but really not much happens anymore haha!

Spiritual thought!!- While teaching, I've seen how it's difficult for people to keep commandments. Especially new and "more difficult" ones like tithing, the law of chastity, word of wisdom, etc. But what I've also realized while studying, is that harder commandments bring stronger blessings. The Lord knows each of us individually and he knows what is hard for us. If we show increased faith and obey all the commandments (even the hard ones) he will bless us tenfold. And He will always be there to help us in our times of need. You just have to keep your eye out for miracles, cause they happen every day. *definition of a miracle by my teacher- "when we see God's hand in our life" So really everything God does is a miracle. And he helps us a lot.
