Week 2 at the Missionary Training Center (MTC)

A lot happened this week, we heard one of the 70 (a high up church authority) named echo hawk talked to us last tuesday night which was pretty sweet.
Last week we taught 3 different people which was cool and got all of them progressing in the gospel one way or another. Now this week we got 3 new people. This week we teach an older lady and younger man. When me and Elder Nelson told the older lady how we actually got our promptings to serve missions she was like woah you guys have crazy stories haha.
Its gotten to the point where everyone in our district (group of 8 missionaries) is getting comfortable here so were all teaching, studying, working out, and just enjoying the MTC. Very stoked to leave in about a week though.
Its also been snowing here and its April but im not complaining. I rarely see snow so when we got up early to do service saturday morning and i saw snow it was awesome, we may or may not have had a snowball fight. Its even lightly snowing outside right now.
Last week my buddy Elder Harris's leg hurt and he thought he had a fracture, so me and him went to the front desk and we got to leave and go to urgent care. It was cool being out in public as a representative of Jesus Christ, being able to teach all the good stuff to anyone that is interested. But here in Provo everyone knows what a missionary is so nobody asked me anything. Turns out he didnt have a fracture so its all good.
Really our days here are filled with studying, teaching, eating tons, working out, meetings, devotionals and classes. And i think its pretty awesome.
Well thats about it this week, i bear my testimony to everyone who gets this email that God in fact lives, and so does our savior Jesus Christ, that little void in all of our souls will only be filled completely by the holy ghost, and gods love for us. I say these things in the name of our older brother and savior, Jesus Christ amen.
Love everyone, god bless you all. The second email I send out will have some pictures

we actually become something greater as we go through life

9/2: we played sports with a bunch of other missionaries. A member of the church from Mountain Home got us dinner at Tucanos which was great 9/3: Elder Nelson woke up sick. A member called and told us how we had "P day then Poo day". Since I didnt want to sit around all day me and one of the missionaries that lives with us went out. We had a good study/talk about how our heart needs to be in the right place as we follow Christ. It's useless just going through the motions. We volunteered at the Idaho Youth Ranch, then gave a lady a blessing.  9/4: Nothing crazy, just studied in the bible with one man we're teaching 9/5: After studying we got into our minivan and Elder Nelson tried turning the key and it wouldn't turn in the ignition. He tried a couple times and then I tried once and we were good to go. We helped a man move a bunch of rocks with buckets. Then that evening we helped a family move stuff from a storage shed.  9/6: Had a Council with so...

Been a great week this week, got tons of stuff done as always.  Monday  we played volleyball and some chair soccer with our district.  Tuesday  me and Elder Thompson started off the day with some studies at the church.  We felt prompted to bring 2 book of mormons with us to the church building. We brought them and while we studied 3 refugees from Kenya came up to the door, they needed directions and we helped them then we taught them about the book of mormon and they wanted not one book, but two.  Later that day we were making visits and we spotted a wiener dog running around. Work was going slow so we decided to follow it. As we were following the dog we thought of a boy we could go visit. A mile later this dog ran to the door of the boys house we were gonna go in. Then the boy opened the door and it happened to be his dog a mile away. Pretty interesting haha.  Then we aqgain felt like grabbing a book of mormon and carrying it with us which is n...
