Last email in the MTC!!

 Hey everyone!!!


I hope you are all doing so good! This week has been so good but i cant write everything sorry. Also don't worry I wrote this before 6 im just gonna send it later because i have to get to class. I have had a busy day talking to my family literally all day it was amazing I love and miss you guys🥲 


So everyday this week just got better and better as I got used to the schedule and all the people. I LOVE my district!!! We have so much fun together, we are literally always laughing. 


Classes have been so good! I love my teacher, his name is brother Jarman!! For the last hour of our 3 hour classes, he always let's us just ask him all the tough questions we have about doctrine or literally anything and he just knows everything!!! He is so smart and seriously I want to be like him. 


We went to the temple twice and it was amazing!! The mount timpanogus temple is HUGE! I like the Calgary temple better not gonna lie. But the celestial room was absolutely ginormous.


I literally love the gym it brings me so much joy. We played volleyball as a district today which was so fun and I played an hour of basketball with a bunch of people who were actually really good so it was so lit!


My favorite part of this week was this one class we had with my second teacher brother Nhiev. He had us all read Mosiah chapter 14 and between each verse we would pause and think about what was being said. And the whole chapter is about Jesus Christ's Atonement. So the spirit was so strong. And after reading the chapter our teacher said "Do you get the point". And it really hit me. Jesus is why I'm here. He didn't just suffer and die for me alone, but for every single person on this earth. And I have the privilege of helping others come to know this truth!


Mosiah 14:5

"5 But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities; the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed."


We can be healed, strengthened, and changed because of Jesus. And he did it because he loves us so much! I love him and I love you all so so much!!


Also this is my last email in the MTC, next time you here from me I will be in Toronto!!!


And I will be making a Google photos album soon haha Ive just been busy.


Love,

Sister Dean

I could cry it brings me so much joy, we went on a run yesterday morning and I seriously have never felt more happy in my life, I could have ran for the whole day.  Alright, so we have 3 friends on date! Joel, Nick, and Tristan! I met Joel last transfer with Sister Bingham in a library, we met Nick last week and put him on date our first lesson, hes so awesome. Tristan I met at Kipling station. I hope they all keep progressing and be baptized in the next couple weeks!  Something that has been super cool is that right now we are teaching so many people from different christian backgrounds! We have a few catholic friends, orthodox, and some very devout non-denom...

 Hello again, I feel like im emailing you guys everyday, P-day just keeps coming up faster and faster. But it's good im excited to update y'all on everything.  This week was so good we now have 4 friends on date! They are all amazing and have strengthened my testimony of this gospel so so much. I'm so excited for them! Monday to Tuesday I exchanged with our STLs. I was with Sister Johnson!! I love her she's awesome and such a diligent missionary I learned so much from her. We taught one of our friends about the 10 commandments and when we said thou shall not Kill, he said we shouldn't kill with knife, but in Nigeria, we kill with gun... Yeah that was crazy so we had to make sure he knew any killing is against the commandments🤣 then we had FHE and we played telestrations! It was fun but it's definitely more fun with my family. And yesterday we got WingStop! Idk if you guys have ever tried it... but it is literally the best chicken tenders ive ever had. I got the...

Farewell and Setting Apart

 Shelby was so nervous to give her talk, but she did amazing! Her testimony is powerful. She talked of building a relationship with Jesus Christ. Her testimony of serving in the temple was sincere and strong. It was an amazing talk, as if she has already gone and served! The Dean girls; Mom, Emily, Ellee, Hailey and Aubrey sang the song Because, by Shawna Edwards. It was a beautiful song that added the spirit to the meeting. Finally, President Lootens spoke, and he told of how much he loves Shelby and the Dean family. It was a nice tribute. We had an open house here at our home, where wonderful friends and family came: The Lee's, Grandma and Grandpa Martin, Jordan, The Hubbards, The Walkers,  The Waltons, The Rodriguezs, The Ackroyds, Sebastian Badara, Karam, and Sarah Pender. We ate Ham sliders and 6 different salads and desserts. After the opening house, we made our way to the stake center where Shelbys was set apart as a missionary for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-d...
