This week was great. We finished TRC's and learned a lot of new things and had so many practices getting us ready to go into the field. Sunday night I had a migraine and myback was hurting.so I rested and took medicine and then our whole room stayed up talking until like 1:30 am. It was like a sleepover and it was so great. Now onto the craziest day of my life:Monday I woke up and had a migraine and just felt icky. I thought it was just from staying up all night and being back up at 6:30 so I was just trying to power through it.so we got breakfast and then went to our classroom, we came back a little while later and my stomach was so sick I just felt like throwing up. Sister Hansen stayed with me and I rested while everyone else went to exercise time. I kept getting sicker and sicker so I decided to go to the doctor to get something for my stomach so I could get on the plane that night feeling better. The doctor ordered 3 different tests(nose swab, blood draw, and urinalysis) the doctor came in a little bit later and said my flu test was negative and he had a meeting so he'd be back around 2 to discuss the test results with me.(it was currently around 12) They took me to lay in a bed and rest until he came back. So obviously if you know me well you're already seeing the mistake in their doing this, because I spent the next 2 hours alone in a room with my thoughts thinking of the absolute worst scenarios, (because why wouldn't he just tell me then if it wasn't bad news?) He finally comes back and tells me I have a UTI. Seriously!? It's not cancer?! Thank the Lord😂 also I had this super irrational fear that he was going to tell me I was pregnant (which I realize is LITERALLY IMPOSSIBLE, I did say irrational😊) then he told me he wanted me to stay at the MTC a few more days and asked me how I felt about that. I of course told him no. And he was hesitant but agreed that I could call him later that night and we could make a decision. Sounds great to me. My companion came and got me and they gave me an antibiotic to start right away and go back to our dorm and rest. I was crazy emotional about the doctor even considering not having me leave that night and I just had a feeling in my heart that for some reason I wasn't going to be leaving at 2:30 in the morning, I got a priesthood blessing from the elders in my district and then went back to my room to take my pills they gave me. I took them and was just sitting in my bed trying to fall asleep and I just started itching all over my body. So my companion made me go back to the doctor, the nurse gave me a benadryl shot and the doctor came in to talk to me about delaying my flight. I agreed to stay a few more days until I'm better.He told me to see my district off at 2:30 but not to get on the bus with them. I slept some more in the clinic and my companion was sent on a field trip down the street to pick up my prescription for the new antibiotic to start on Tuesday and I was told not to take anymore of the other one. I was lying in the clinic til almost 5 and then I had to go talk to someone about my delay and call my mom to let her know what was happening. I moved in with another district(they're the one directly under us) and it was the hardest thing moving my stuff to another room while all of the sisters in my room were packing to leave in just 4 hours. I cried and I cried like I never had in my life. I know and have faith that this delay is all in God's plan for me and that there is a reason it had to happen. But it doesn't make it any easier that I'm still in the MTC and all of my best friends left on the plane this morning to go to Kansas. I hope and pray that they all made it safely. I woke up at 2 and went and said goodbye and it was so hard. My companion was just bawling😭 I went back to my new room and just cried some more until I fell asleep. I don't think I've ever cried this much, but when I woke up today I was exceedingly grateful that I stayed back, because I have literally no energy and am feeling a little miserable. The girls in my new room are adorable and I know that I'll find a reason of why I needed to stay and I'm making more friends. And tonight our devotional speaker is a general authority which I would have missed otherwise so I'm okay. And I'm really grateful for how thorough the doctor was. I couldn't imagine being on an airplane for my first time feeling the way that I do. Please keep me in your prayers, I love you all.

I CANNOT BELIEVE HOW FAST THE TIME IS FLYING BY! I love it here so much and I'm going to miss it but I am SO STOKED to be in Kansas in a week!! I still don't know how to do the pictures, so once again check my blog. This week was filled with so much spirit and growth, I am learning so many great things here in the MTC! I saw Sandy's son Elder Peterson on I think my first or second day at the MTC so that was good to see a familiar face. All of the other girls in my district know lots of people because they're all 2 or 3 years younger than I am. But it's okay, I think it might make things a little harder to know so many people from Pre mission life. Once of the girls in our district sister hansens boyfriend is in the MTC with us right now and that's kind of hard sometimes. My heart experienced some really big changes this week. I was so scared because I was getting feelings of like anxiety this week but I finally realized it wasn't anxiety. It was the holy ghost. I am feeling the spirit of god in ways I cannot even describe and I have been crying a lot of tears of gratitude this past week thinking about how I got to where I am and how many miracles had to occur for me to end up on my mission starting with a huge life changing one this past July. I never would have though I would be where I am now, today, in this moment just a year ago. I miss my sweet babies every single day, but getting pictures definitely helps and I know that this 18 months will bless me and my family so much. So while I am missing things back home I wouldn't trade where I am now for anything in the world. We taught a lot of lessons this week and I am just getting more and more in tune with the spirit which is so awesome. We got our flight information this week and we leave the MTC next "tuesday" at 2:30 IN THE MORNING! I don't know for sure if I will be able to email again before we're in Kansas because our p day is technically on tuesday. So just send lots of emails. I really want to be able to write letters as well so please give me addresses. I was able to get some from memorial ward off of the LDS tools app. but other than that I actually only have my own address, so if I could get more that would be great. The district above us left last night so We're the oldest one! so crazy!
