Hey y'all!
What an amazing week I've had at the MTC. The spirit is so strong and I can see myself growing daily, which I'm so grateful for because in due time, my growth will be able to help bring others back to Christ. I love this gospel and I love what I'm doing. There are lots and lots of hard times, but I know this is where I'm supposed to be. So here we go!
First off, we had a devotional Sunday night, and we watched an amazing talk by Elder David A. Bednar, and once we were done, the lights came on and our MTC president wasn't in the room. He then proceeded to walk into the gym WITH David A Bednar and his wife following. It was unreal. I was in the presence of an actual apostle of God. We had a Q and A session with him for about an hour, and then he walked out and got into his car. No one was allowed to shake his hand (obviously) but it was so insane. But then, as I was walking back, I saw him get into his car, and me and my companions I was with ran over and as he was driving away, we got to shake his hand. I was able to shake the hand of an apostle. It was one of the best experiences I've had. I looked at him and he looked at me when I shook his hand and I felt the spirit. It was amazing.
The next thing was that yesterday, we as elders gave 3 out of the 4 girls in our district a blessing and we were all able to participate in all of them. The spirit was so so strong and I was moved by the experience. I was so happy to be a part of that amazing experience. I have an amazing district and we have grown so close over the last week and a half.
Elder Cook and I have been having some awesome lessons. We committed an investigator to be baptized last week. What an amazing experience it was. I am loving the mission and love interacting with new people. I am ready to get out and serve and be around new people.
The spirit is unbelievably strong. I feel it so much during the day and it really helps strengthen me and helps me to learn and grow and focus. I love this church and I love this gospel.
I have gone to the temple twice now to do endowments, and doing the ordinance is such a wonderful experience. I love the chance I have to do that in the temple and I am so grateful for the happiness I feel when participating.
God is real, and He is great. God loves each and every one of you. There's no place I'd rather be. I'm focused on the Lord's work and it's helping me grow and learn so much. The church is true. I am so excited to get out in the mission field and interact with real people and meet new members and find investigators. I know there will be hard times, but I also know that when these trials happen, I can turn to Christ and He will give me the strength to help others come unto Christ. I love you all, thank you for your thoughts and prayers, they go a long way and I definitely feel them in times of need. Till next time!
