Last Week in the MTC

Well the last 3 weeks, the one thing they have in common is tiredness and the spirit. My last week at the MTC was great, for some reason I thought I will never leave the MTC.   All my roommates left and I was the only one left. I always thought about the people that had to be there for 9 weeks so it made me feel grateful. The food was very fatening it was definitely one of those things I was not going to miss. But the people I am definitely going to miss.  It is amazing how you can build strong relationships with people in just a short time. My last week companion was Sister K and she was from France and finally my opportunity to speak French. All my classes were in english and until Sister K finally helped me practice my french it was a lot of fun and a lot of learning. I went to temple Square my last week and it felt so strange because I have been in the same place for a while, it was good to go get some fresh air. I did a day with the sisters at Salt Lake and it was worthwhile. I learned a lot from that experience and it is amazing how many people come from all over the world to Utah. To conclude I would say the MTC was pretty interesting and tiring although you could feel the spirit and learn a lot. I was grateful for all those people I met at the MTC and the spirit that I felt and it was great while it lasted. Pictures from my last week at the MTC ​

Week 2 - Praying and be a good boy, be a good girl!

Image
Every morning begins with a prayer, every lesson, meal, role play, in general everything begins and ends with a prayer here. I guess that is part of the reason why you can feel the spirit strongly here at the MTC. My roommates are all from around the world. There is Sister P from Ukraine, she is very stylish and likes working out with me at 6am. My companion Sister J is from the Marshall Islands, she is so funny and she is the most interesting person I have ever met. The other girl in the room is Sister Y and she's from Yap which is found next to Guam, which is next to Marshall Island which is next to Hawaii.  She is very sweet and she is always smiling. In my district we have a Sister called Sister K and she's from india she cracks me up and she always tells us jokes. What I love about the MTC so far is that you meet a lot of people from all over the world and everyone has one goal.  Which is invite others to come unto Christ by helping them receive the restore...

First week in the Field!

Image
Best of both worlds.  First week out in the field. Well my companion is Sister S she is from a small town called Burns Oregon.  She's very cute and kind, she is the best trainer I could possibly ask for. It has been great with lots of sunshine. The sun is too much for me it gets to like 100 and something degrees and I feel like I am in an oven. The area where I am proselyting is called Santa Clara Heights and it is beautiful and the houses looks like it is from the movies. We are in charge of the Whole stake so it is kind of hard to go to all the sacrament meetings and we also get to do the visitor center half of the day so we only get to knock on door for  a couple of hours. Well we get the best of both world in a sense that people come to us in the visitor center and we go look for people also. It has been hard so far but Heavenly Father has been providing for us.  I had to bear my testimony so many times and attend a lot of sacrament meeting and meeting ...

Baptisms by Dad

Image
Wow, How time flies, Tranfers are today and my companion  and I are staying together. Its been six weeks already that we have been together, wow went too fast. Sister D is an awesome missionary and it is a lot of fun training. The part I enjoy the most about training is doing 12 weeks again [ training program for new missionaries I think ], there is so much to learn. The week has been Glorious, it ended with 3 baptisms that  took place saturday the 30th of September. I can't believe it is already October. But it was one of the best Baptism that I have ever attended. The Dad Tommie Got baptised and then confirmed and then ordained and then baptised his wife Rachel and then baptised their daughter Chiara. It was one of the happiest days on my mission. It's a blessing to see a family come closer to the Savior. We had to receive permission from our Mission President and our Stake president in order for that to happen [ for the Dad to baptise his family the same da...
