Hey Fam!
First off thank you to all of you who have written me or
sent me packages. I really appreciate it! the MTC is going by very fast and I
hardly ever have time to write anyone back for all that I am receiving but I
will write as soon as I have time!
Every day is an amazing experience here. I learn so much and
have been writing down as much as I can so I can remember later. We had
our in-field training yesterday and it was cool cuz some of the teachers of my
classes were the guys from "the District". One thing I learned
is the importance of preparing the member before you go to a lesson with an
investigator. Pres. Kimball said, "No mission can reach its full
potential without member help." The work is progressing extremely
fast but we need to make sure we involve the members properly.
I love this one by Joseph Smith,"Doubt and Faith can
not exist in the same mind at the same time." Enough said.
We had a pretty good devotional on Tuesday by Elder Lawrence
E. Corbridge who was just released as the area authority for Chile! I wonder if
Jaromy ever met him... but it was great. He made the connection with the gospel
using symbolism which was awesome because it made a logical connection to the
gospel in premise conclusion form. He talked about using the premise
A-Destination/doctrine (why?), B-Route/principles (How?) leading to
C-Conclusion/application (What?). It was really good.
Also thank you Heather for sending me the story from
Merek. it was such a great story of what kind of missionaries we need to be
and how we need to love one another. I read in to my district as an
example of how we should all strive to be and it was moving. Thanks
Also I head to Montana on Tuesday, the 2nd! so the next time
I e-mail I will be out in the field ;) so mom I will be calling from the
airport sometime tuesday morning :) also I have not taken many pictures
but the sisters have and they are gonna send them to you!
gotta
go talk to you all soon!
Love
ya,
Elder
