OH BOYYY!!! THE MTC IS SOON TO BE IN THE PAST FOR ME!!!! I leave Monday morning at 10:15 to head to Sacramento and all I can say is I am very excited. The MTC has taught me so much. I love my District and my Zone. Oh yeah I am District Leader for the last week I am here, so that is dope.
We taught our friend Nate last week. We don't call them investigators anymore. We refer them as our friends. Nate was a great guy. We taught him and everything was going really well. We taught him about the Holy Ghost and we taught him about Jesus Christ. He grew so much during the time we taught him and we ended up getting a baptismal date set for him. I am really excited for him!
This week we are teaching a girl named Jocelyn and she is improving very well. I can really see her faith growing. We set a baptismal date for her too!. She is so cool! She has a really strong in spirit and loves her life. I wish we could stick around for them but that's alright.
I have changed so much since I've been in the MTC and I am so ready to teach the people of Sacramento.
Now to my subject of my email...
On Sunday we had a devotional, and the manager of every MTC throughout the world came and spoke and showed us pictures of every MTC. IT WAS SO COOL!!!! He showed pictures of missionaries before they started their mission and then the after they returned home. It was so crazy to see how much they changed just by the pictures. Brother Mills, the guy speaking, shared a story about this one elder from the Philippines. He was 7'8" and when he entered the MTC he couldn't fit on the beds. The MTC President offered to connect two beds together, but the missionary said, "President don't worry about doing that. I will sleep on the floor." The MTC President was surprised and responded saying its not a big deal we can do it. The missionary once again responded and said, "That's okay president, I don't remember the last time I had a bed." The missionary had huge feet (he had size 23) and wore these sandals that were worn down. The president offered to order shoes the missionary so he can be comfortable while walking around, but the missionary said, "It's okay president. I can't remember the last time I had shoes."
The moral of the story is that he was grateful what he had. There are times in our life where we are not grateful for what we have. There are times where also judge those who don't have much. Anyway, that devotional was so good It made me feel ready to leave!
I love you all!!!! Thanks for the support just want to leave with my testimony..
I know this gospel is sooooooo true. The power of prayer is so real. I have witnessed first hand here and all I can say is the Holy Ghost works in beautiful ways. I love our Savior Jesus Christ and his atoning sacrifice He did for all of us. Because of Him, we are all able to live with Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ again. I know missionary work helps change lives. I know it guides people to enduring to the end. I am grateful for Joseph Smith for what he went through so we could have this gospel. I love my family so much and the love and support they give to me. I know this to be true and I say these in the name of Jesus Christ, amen.
