Hey everyone! The MTC is awesome. My district and companion are awesome. My companion is Elder Decker and he is from New Mexico. He is awesome, half of my district is going to Melbourne, and the other half is going to Auckland New Zealand including my companion. Today is my P-Day, which is Thursday. Hope everything is going great at home. The food is pretty good. I leave November 26th. We already have a legit nonmember investigator in the TRC! Classes are amazing and our teachers are fantastic. I am feeling the spirit every day. I miss you all they only give me thirty minutes of computer time per P-day so if you want to email me do it by dearelder.com. That way I can read what you want to say and I can just reply in those 30 minutes. I appreciate all of your letters. I am having a blast at here, and learning so much. My district cracks me up there really is never a dull moment and we are pretty much always doing something. How are all you? How are the kids doing? We do a lot of role-playing with our teachers acting like investigators. Even though it isn't real thing, you can definitely feel the spirit as we testify of the truthfulness of the gospel. One of our investigators named Eric has been very interesting to teach. He is a nonmember (for real) and has a lot of issues with the authority of God. It is really hard sometimes and Elder Decker gets really frustrated with it. But he realizes it is all worth it. We got to hear from Elder Foster in the seventy, which was AMAZING! He taught us about the Law of Consecration and showed a very powerful video about John Tanner and his great devotion and faith to the Lord. Sundays are awesome here. We get to go to the Provo Temple today! We will probably be going to an endowment session. The mountains out here are beautiful. I really am going to be going from Utah Snow to Australian Summer. Thank you for advising me to pack warm when I was here! Don't really have too much time to upload photo so I will try to do that out in the field. I love the Lord, and I know that he answers our prayers. Yesterday as we studied the Book of Mormon as a district, we received revelation for our investigator. This happened to two of the companionships in the district. It was so powerful to see how the Book of Mormon is the word of God and that if we treasure up its teaching we can become the best people, we have potential to become. I have already found that the more you throw yourself into serving the Lord like this, the more your truly are blessed. The first few days were very humbling but the Lord has assured me that I can do this with His help. Although I still have a lot to learn, I can't wait to get out in the field. Love you all lots!Tuesday, November 20, 2012
