Visitors Center MTC Training

 Hey 👋



This last 2 weeks have been wild and frankly I'm not feeling much like writing an email but I'll do my best.

I started VC training on Monday, and I love it! For those of you wondering what there is possibly to learn about, well, lets just say we talk a lot about temple doctrine, giving tours, and a lot of specifics about how to reply to rude/anti people hahaha. Very thrilling

I also gave my first "tour", and it went shockingly well!! The person was asking me all these hard questions about Temples and church history and I was definitely sweating a lot but somehow I answered them all correctly and calmly so woooot!!

My district all left at the beginning of the week and it's a little sad being left behind with no one to eat meals with haha. Some of them became almost like family. Saying goodbye to my best SISTERS IN ZION!! Sisters Ball and Webster was an early morning depresso espresso, but I'm excited for them to share their amazing testimonies:) but I do miss 4 Square and my personal trainer😭

Go check out Facebook for singing videos there should be a new one coming soon.....and it's a don't wanna miss cause Elder Blodgett is a piano legend. 

The scripture that's been keeping me going the last while is Ether 12:6. Particularly at the end where it says; "wherefore, dispute not because ye see not, for ye receive no witness until after the trial of your faith".

Going through a hard time can be rough, especially when we can't see the reason for the trial or wonder why God would keep putting us through certain situations. However, if we have faith, and exercise that faith, he will strengthen us and help us. He is always a part of our lives, sending blessings or people our way. And I promise he loves you so much. 

God's hand is always there, in the bad times and in the good times. Sometimes it's just harder to see in the moment. I encourage you all to think back on a time in your life, and look for his hand in your life at that time. I promise you'll find it!!!

Hopefully I entertained you all enough!
Have a good week (s) everyone and thanks for all the prayers, I definitely feel them:) feel free to reach out! I'd love to hear from any of you! I would also love free advice from anyone. Like seriously. You will be written in my journal.

Love,
Sister Evans

  Heyyy guys!  Still here in bezerekely just trudging, this week we finally found the great and spacious building! So many interesting things happen every single day  I've seen wayyy to many naked people, and heard wayyy to many gun shots. Oh and last night I got chased by a homeless man!  - my eyes are constantly   and now Halloween is already in full swing here on frat row so some prayers would be nice hahaha  But!! I've really gained a testimony of how much the temple is a refuge!! Hahaha but seriously, it's a relief to able to go to the temple and be at the VC and feel that spirit that is really hard to feel in Berkeley.  My favorite thing from this week was yesterday, we brought our friend ivin up to the temple to teach him about what happens inside! Ivin is on date, but because of some probation stuff, he originally had to wait. But because of some policy changes... he can get baptized asap now!! Ivin is a huge family guy, so when I showed h...

  Heyy! This week was wild, but a lot of fun! I just love doing this everyday more and more. Twas a bit of a melancholy week cause tuesday morning we got some really sad and sudden news. Sister Montgomery has to go home early to receive surgery for some complications that happened from her wisdom teeth a few years ago, and she leaves pretty early tomorrow morning so today is our last day together   not how we expected this transfer to end, we're all pretty sad cause we've gotten so close and we didn't expect to have to say goodbye so soon!! But I'm so grateful I got to meet her because she has been such an example to me and I look up to her so much!!! Which also means I have to drive now which also means I will have to parallel park which I FAILED on my driver's test and am only extremely nervous about.... hahahaha  The visitors center has been really really great!! Because its been so busy, we created this system for the vc to combat all the crowds and languages an...

Take me to Tonga

Hey heyy Oh my goodness!! What a week!! I think I've decided it's time for me to learn Tongan. Or Chinese. I've done a lot of interacting with both cultures this week maybe both!!  So, Tuesday morning we dropped off sister Montgomery at the airport, just me and sister Christopherson now. Idk if I've mentioned this before, but me and sister christopherson took over the social media page for the VC. So go check it out. Our skills are improving slowly but surely . We also were over a "sharing testimonies through music" event this week!! At the VC. So we've been crazy busy, but it's so fun!! So!! Have you ever seen the other side of heaven?? Well the real Elder Groberg came to our event!! What??? I was stressed. But it was really special because we asked him if he would share his testimony at the end of our event, and it was incredible. After he shared his testimony, some of the Tongan Elders got up and sang the First Noel and bore their testimonies as wel...
