Week 4 (At the Missionary Training Center)

https://www.mormonchannel.org/watch/series/mormon-messages/the-hope-of-gods-light

Super excited to say im finally leaving to boise idaho tomorrow. These 3 weeks have flew by and ive had a fun, and awesome experience here at the MTC. Ive had lots of cool experiences here and met so many great people from all over. My MTC district (group of 8 missionaries) are great people and i love them. Ive learned so much different stuff as far as inviting people to come closer to our savior Jesus Christ. Through him is the only way we will find true joy and happiness for eternity. This is something ive found out for myself an i just keep getting that reminder every day from god himself. He has a hand in all our lives. This week was filled with learning and lots of laughter. Visited the Provo Temple twice, we had some cool devotionals, me and my companion, Elder Nelson taught some missionaries about the creation of us and planet earth, and we taught about the fall of our first parents, adam and eve. Very cool, the Holy Ghost was strongly felt. me and Elder Nelson and our district were at the temple on sunday and the lady that took our picture actually served her mission in Boise too. We talked alot about the boise idaho mission. On saturday i ate some bad MTC food and let one rip in our class so we had to not only leave our room but the building, so we had a good little book of mormon read outside haha. Anyways all in all the MTC has been a wonderful time, but im way more stoked to go out in public as a representative of our savior and to not only be able to tell people about god ans christ, but to be able to assist anyone and everyone to come closer to them. Nice thing about Christs gospel is that no matter what we are going through, christ has not left us, and he will not leave us. He is always here for us with arms outstreteched. To all who get this email i invite you to listen to "missions are forever" by Jeffrey R. Holland on lds.org. He talks about us always being representatives of christ. Another video I recommend anyone watching is "Hope of Gods Light" (with Tom Sylvester) on LDS.org. Love you all! God bless!

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...
