Week 6!!!

Well, it turns out I do get a mini P-Day today that I can email a bit. I don't have a lot of time so I will be brief.
 

I really have LOVED my time here in the MTC. The first few days here were rough. Not going to lie. I would sit and wonder why on Earth I am here and how I'm ever going to get through it. Now, come time to leave, hermano Rhoton, my teacher, asked us what, if anything, we would change about the MTC. In all honesty, I would not change a thing. This has probably been the most beneficial time of my life. I look back, and I don't even know where the time went! It was such a good time!!
 

So, fun story. I just learned literally 30 seconds ago. Elder Williams, and Elder Stallings met each other in a restaurant before the MTC. They talk a bit and they both decided that they would see each other in the MTC kinda jokingly. Then after that they met up here and were companions! Cool eh?
 

Well, I gotta go. I need to finish my last preparations to ship out tomorrow morning!!! I leave in 10 hours!!
 

I appreciate all your guys' support to me and my family as I have served and continue to do serve. I can feel all your prayers offered in my behalf!!

 

 

Before I quit, I'd like to share a scripture. 1 Corinthians 14:2 reads "For he that speaketh in an unknown tongue speaketh not unto men, but unto God: for no man understandeth him; howbeit in the spirit he speaketh mysteries" I just kinda stumbled upon this one today in my study right before I left as I was praying for an understanding of the Spanish that I may hear my investigators and they may hear me. This scripture kinda hit me hard. To me it is saying if I just open up and speak, then I will be taken care of. My mouth will be filled with the things I need to say. I learned that I don't need to speak perfect Spanish, but if I try, God will hear me and the Spirit will teach to my investigators what they need to know. Besides, the Spirit is the real teacher anyways. Doctors don't do the healing, they just set up the atmosphere for the healing to take place. Likewise, I don't do the teaching. I just set up the atmosphere for the Spirit to come and touch the lives of others and teach them the truthfulness of our message.
 

I love you all with all my heart! As always, I look forward to hearing from you!

 

 

Love
