Slaying the Day as a California Bae: Tuesday, February 17, 2026: The One Where She Leaves the MTC

Hello everyone!

This week went by so fast! Tomorrow morning I'm headed to Ventura, finally!

I have loved being at the MTC, my district is just the best and I'm really sad to be saying good bye to them. There were 14 of us, 7 companionships, 4 sets of sisters and 3 sets of elders. Each companionship is headed to a different mission, quite literally all over the world. From South Africa to New Zealand and all the way up to Alaska. These missionaries are near and dear to my heart, good luck out there everyone!

Learning to teach the gospel has been a roller-coaster. Highs and lows, and definitely some loop d loops. I've come so far from where I started and my knowledge and understanding of the gospel has been such a blessing to my growing testimony.

Today was filled with packing, and yes I did get all my stuff to fit and it's right in the weight limit. Lol.

We had a devotional, a departure devotional if you will. And the closing song was We’ll Bring the World His Truth (Army of Helaman), they projected the words on the screen so we could all sing together. The best part was they changed the chorus and it touched my heart. It went like this

We are as the army of Helaman.

We have been taught in our youth.

And we are now the Lord’s missionaries

We'll bring the world his truth.

Singing this song was so powerful being surrounded by so many men and women with one singular purpose, all of us preparing to go far and wide. Wow.

I miss you all and can't wait for the day we can be together again. Never forget Jesus loves you.
