one week left . . .

Here is an excerpt from Liz's email that we received today! It's hard to believe she has only one week left at the MTC!

"life is so good! it's like a crazy life, seems like i've lived a lifetime crammed into 2 weeks! but i'm learning a lot! we've taught quite a bit and sis ireland and i have learned to be united as we teach. all the feedback we've gotten has been very positive! our teacher said the only thing she had as advice was that we were teaching awesomely and that we just need to stay humble and recognize that it's the spirit and not us! boy do i know it. there was one lesson i felt like i wasn't teaching well at all, but the teacher we were teaching said it was one of the most spiritual lessons he's heard in a LONG time, and he gets taught by missionaries all day every day! that's when i knew it was the spirit :) so yeah, there's some emotional rollercoaster-ness . . . going from feeling just excited, to very inadequate, to feeling like i'm doing great, to being humbled and relying on the Lord. but all i know is i've gone to bed really happy every night!! i know i'm supposed to be here and i'm getting REALLY excited to go git 'er done in seattle :) i got letters from some sisters from my mission and they got me excited! there's 8 sisters there now out of 160 missionaries!"
