So this is my first of many weekly emails ...hopefully. I'll send one out as much as I can! My grammar and spelling aren't going to be very good so like just ignore it...
Anyway, today is my third day in the MTC (Missionary Training
Center), I've been loving it so far! The food is great. My teachers are fun and
relatable. AND my district and companion are awesome! I enjoyed the
introductory devotionals. On Wednesday we watched a pre-recorded talk by Elder
Bednar (One of the 12 Apostles). It was actually super funny, he compared the
natural man to the cookie monster in that natural men want things done right
now. Instead, we should take time to ponder and pray and study what may help us.
Elder Bednar has one of the best cookie monster impression I've heard.
My companion is really cool, his name is Elder Helgessen,
he's from Alaska and he serving in the Roseville California mission, which is
about 40 minutes from where I'm from!! Yesterday we also had our first district
council and Elder Helgessen was assigned to be district leader which is
awesome! It also means that him and I have more meetings to go to... I'm
excited anyway!
As a district we decided that we want to play volleyball
every day for our daily exercise. We've played the last 2 days and I've really
enjoyed it. I think I was the best one from our district... just kidding,
there's a reason I didn't play in high school!
We were also able to go to the temple today as a district!
The Provo temple is really pretty and I'm sad that it's going to be
completely torn next month.
I would just like share one of my scriptures and testify of
the greatness of Jesus Christ and that we can turn toward him regardless of
what is going on and that he loves and cares for us no matter what!
He is the light and the life of the world; yea, a light that
is endless, that can never be darkened; yea, and also a life which is endless,
that there can be no more death"
Mosiah 16:9
Thank y'all
