Dear Family and Friends:
Well my second week here at
the MTC is complete! It has honestly been one of the fastest weeks ever.
There has been some crazy stuff going here! We had a devotional Tuesday
night and the 2nd counsellor of the presiding bishopric came and talked
about the "Character of Christ" which was really awesome it reminded me
a lot of the Character of Christ talk that Elder Bednar gave. Then
turns out the week before we came Elder Bednar was actually here at the
MTC giving a talk and then the week after we leave Elder Holland is
coming to give a talk so it sucks that I've missed/going to miss those
talks. But all the devotionals we have had so far have been really good.
Then one of my teachers(Sis. Sheppard) got "ran over" by a car as she
told us but turns out that she got hit on her way home! She's okay and
was still able to come teach us the next day but still crazy! Other than
that there hasn't been anything to out of the ordinary going on here!
Lots of class, lots of studying, and lots of teaching. Speaking of
teaching we got 2 new TRC investigators! The first is Kayla she is from
Alabama and a sophomore at BYU. Then the second is Austin and he is from
Dallas and is down here for the summer for an internship. It has been
really fun getting to know them and teaching them as well! But that's
about all that's been going on this week. My district is great and we
are becoming really close. Everything is going good with my companion as
well. We leave early Tuesday
morning for Texas so I'm excited for that! My time in the MTC is
quickly coming to an end and I can already tell it will be a bittersweet
moment when we all leave.
Miracle of the Week:
We
were teaching our new TRC investigator Kayla earlier this week and she
had asked a question about why there aren't big miracles today like the
ones found in the Bible(Moses parting the red sea, etc.). My companion
and I didn't really know why but we told her that we would do a little
research and see if we could figure it out before our next appointment
and during my personal study the next day I found a scripture in the
Book of Mormon that addressed her exact question. The answer was in
Moroni 7: 27-29, 33-37. It was awesome to see her reaction to that and
to be able to share that we had found an answer to her exact question in
the Book of Mormon. That just testifies to me even more the truth of
the Book of Mormon and that we can find answers to our questions in the
scriptures.
I love you guys all so much!
