I'm PREGNANT!...Kinda

I started up my first week of at home MTC! To sum it up in two words I would say exhausting, but also amazing! This has been a tiring week, getting up early, going to bed early, while also struggling to fall asleep has been challenging. But, everyday, I feel like the spirit is giving me energy to get through my days. I have learned so much this week. I have also learned that I have a 5th wisdom tooth and I didn't even know that was possible lol. I got my wisdom teeth out two weeks ago but I started to have soreness again. I got a panorama of my mouth and they say I have a baby wisdom tooth stuck way up in my gums. This was nerve racking because I found out the day before I'm supposed to leave that I might need to get surgery! Thankfully, I do not have to get it out and this will not keep me from leaving on my mission at the scheduled time. I see this as a huge blessing. My MTC district is awesome and sent me a video while I was missing class to get checked out showing their support and love.
  

Just from this first week, I can say I have never felt the spirit so strong and so consistently than in any other time of my life. I know that the Lord is blessing me through the MTC experience and knows my fears. For example, I found out really quickly that I was not good at all at teaching on the spot. I could not role play for more than 30 seconds before I had to restart because I would mess up. I went to bed that night feeling very defeated and I had expressed this to God. The very next day I was able to teach a lesson and testify of Christ for 5 minutes straight or as long as they would require me to for the sake of the lesson. I know that God has helped me to gain this skill and that the spirit is putting words and thoughts into my mind when I teach.


From this week, I can know that I have a testimony of this Gospel and that Jesus is my savior. I can also know that Joseph Smith was a true prophet and that the Book of Mormon is true. I am so grateful for this home MTC experience and I am so ready to go out and be a missionary in person to the people of Sacramento!


Sincerely,
Elder Rosenlund


In this video, my MTC teacher and all the people in my district sent me a video wishing me luck and telling me they are thinking of me. W district for sure! For some reason they thought I was getting my wisdom tooth removed. I still haven't told them I did not have to, hopefully they read this, if not I will tell them later I guess and extra prayers from them wont hurt :)

Shellom y'all, This has propbably been the most busy and chaiotic week of my mission yet. Between training a new elder, managing 20+ people being taught, 40+ potentials who could be taught, two wards I'm brand new to, high maintainance barely active members, and much more, I have been swamped with things to do. It has been insane! My very first day of the transfer in the Ashton park ward, a person they were teaching called and says she wants to be baptized! LETS GO THAT IS HYPE...however, this has caused so many problems. She has lots of questions and does not want to follow the commandments in the word of wisdom so we cant really baptized her yet. Since then, she has been looking into much anti about our church and wont stop sending it to us. It has been crazy!  Something funny, we went to a mental hospital to visit an inactive member. It was his birthday. He is also skitzafrenic or however you spell it. He asked how our sunday was, we told him that we had 6 hours of church be...

Go Chiefs!!!!

Well....This was a good week! The chiefs won the super bowl! I was super sad that I could not watch the game, but I am so happy either way. Everyone around me is 49ers fans so I'm the only one happy in my area. This week was not just happy feeling though, it was full of all sorts of feelings. I had to say good bye to all of my District and friends in the MTC. Super sad to say good bye but in the end, we are all where we are supposed to be.  When I arrived in Sacramento California, I was immedietly greated by my mission president and the zone leaders! They are all super awesome and Sacramento is amazing. But I do not get to experience it. I currently am typing in a cabbin. Me and my companion, Elder Bartholomew who is awesome!, got thrown into a area where they have not had missionaries in years! Its called George Town and its way up in the mountains. The members here are so excited that we are here and I have not had to worry about making dinner a single night. I live in the middle...
