I don’t have a ton of time to email today because we are
packing and getting ready to leave, but here are the quick updates:
We finished our English teaching certification!! We went to
the BYU ELC and observed and taught classes. It was such an amazing experience!
I loved the people and it was so cool to see how much learning English was
helping these people. They truly had a desire to learn English, and it made
teaching all the better. We had the chance to interview some of the students in
the hallways: one student told me that she is an industrial engineer and she
was learning English so she could have more and better opportunities in her
field (and she wants to get an MBA too), another student told me that he was
learning English because he loves web design but all the coding is in English,
and a third student told me, she hates the barriers that are created from not
knowing English. I had never thought about it this way before... I am breaking
down barriers for these people: with jobs, social groups, entertainment, and so
much more! How amazing is that?! I am so lucky to be teaching English as a part
of my mission!
Two of the sisters in our group have been reassigned to the California
Irvine mission while they wait for visas. It’s a little sad that they won’t be
coming with us right away, but we will see them soon I’m sure.
That's about all. Love you all and hope you are all doing
well! Just want to leave you with a scripture. It's really great and I love it
so much! Mosiah 24:14-16 -read it. This scripture is one of God's promises to
us, that when we have burdens, trials or struggles, the Lord can help ease them
and carry them. If we pray sincerely and with faith, and ask for the strength
needed, the Lord will help us. We need to have faith and trust in the Lord's
timing to receive these promised blessings.
Talk to you next week from Mongolia!!!!
