My Dear Lovelies, I got my marching orders on Friday! Okay, so they're really 'flying orders', but I like the sound of marching orders better. As it turns out, I am flying out Tuesday morning, so I get to enjoy a P-day as my last full day here at the MTC. According to the flight path, I'm actually going to Malawi first, which makes me wonder if I'll land and they'll tell me to learn Chichewa... But I'm eager to go either way! I've been learning and growing so much this past week! On Tuesday, we had almost a whole day about strengthening our faith, and I certainly felt my testimony strengthen! Our Tuesday night devotional was by a man who has actually been to Jo-berg several times, and he talked about exact obedience. The temple dedication was awesome! Sister H., who is a convert to the church of nearly four years, had never been to one before, and she was wide-eyed like a child almost the whole time. We all really enjoyed the broadcast (we went to the 3:00 session). One of the things we love to do as a district is to take the ten minute walk up to the temple! Our P-day session, unfortunately, starts before breakfast and ends right after. It's a little frustrating, especially because there's something about the temple that makes us all hungry... I'm glad I get to go one more time before I leave! I actually checked on LDS.org, and the only temple in the south-east region of Africa is in Jo-berg. I'm certainly praying for a favorable temple announcement! I love you all, and I'm having too much of a blast to miss you just yet! (just kidding!) Love, Sister Adams
