Ellie Serving in Ventura: {Letter #2} Esta bien en Dios!!

"It is good in God!"

Every day me and my companions think of a word and a phrase of the day. One of the days Hermana Dick suggested the phrase "esta bien en Dios!" and it has stuck. It feels so fitting for the MTC. There is a lot of chaos and it can be overwhelming at times, but it is good in God, and there is peace in God!!

This week went by fast but here are some highlights:

Today we went to the temple which is always so lovely !

We start Spanish immersion tomorrow so all our classes will be only Spanish now 🫣

Hermana Clegg did our nails 💅

Hermana Dick and I sang in the choir for Tuesday devotional and we ended up on the big screens the entire time. It was so hard not to look or laugh, because we could see when we ended up on screen. After the musical number we got recognized as the Hermanas in the choir 3 separate times

We got to do service and I got to wear jeans!!!!

I'm meeting so many new people and it is so fun!

My companions and district are seriously incredible. So many different personalities but everyone brings such a fun dynamic to the group.

My teachers are amazing as well. Their names are Hermana Nase, Hermana Mcmurray and Hermana Baugh.

Our nicknames for them are:

Hermana mcflurry

Hermana nasequick (like the chocolate milk)

Hermana baja blast

This week an elder in my district said, "God has a lot to say,"

I love love that. I realized I'm always talking to God but I'm not always the best at listening. He has a lot to say to us when we're open to listen! Because he loves us !

I love you all! Have a lovely week!! Send updates I love to hear from you 🫶🫶

Te amo,

Hermana Goold
