Last Sunday I had the opportunity to watch an exclusive MTC talk by Elder Bednar titled "The Character of Christ". He stated that even in our worst times, we have to turn outward instead of inward. That is the true character of Christ. Christ, in his worst times, never pitied himself but instead, would turn outward and focus care of. After having fasted for 40 days and after having an encounter with the Devil, he sent angels to strengthen his apostle John who was in prison, rather than focusing on himself. I really needed to hear this, on others. When Christ was hanging on the cross, his main concern was to make sure His mother would be taken especially because I had pitied myself for the first few days in the MTC! My goal is to develop the character of Christ on my mission. Even though I will never be perfect in this life, I know that through Christ's atonement I can become the best I can be.
Sooo I've ran out of time, but I will write another post soon with more info on what's happened in the mtc :) I leave to Colorado on Monday morning!!!!
Love, Sister Flores
