The experiences have been wonderful here and I have been working hard to
grow and improve at least a little bit every day. I have learned to be
obedient as best as I can. I've found it important to be on time to
everything and be as focused as you can. It is not easy :P. But it's
rewarding :). Like it says in D&C 130:19-20 "19 And if a person
gains more knowledge and intelligence in this life through his diligence
and obedience than another, he will have so much the advantage in the
world to come. 20 There is a law, irrevocably decreed in heaven before
the foundations of this world, upon which all blessings are predicated"
Which means that if we obey we will be blessed.
I've also found that knowing
where to go and where to be all the time is so important! Learning how
to follow a schedule and be ready for everything that I have to do,
otherwise you get stressed from lack of preparation. Speaking of
preparation, it is so important to communicate and prepare with your
companion when preparing lessons for investigators. I'm currently
teaching two investigators. The first is actually one of my teachers and
he is like a practice investigator, his name is Alfredo. Even though he
is actually our teacher who is a member and returned missionary, we
still teach him as if he was an investigator. The lessons have been
going well, we taught him about the Book of Mormon, repentance, prayer,
and get this: we commit him to baptism! We are just preparing him now to
be baptized by teaching him exactly how he can repent of things he
feels guilty for and giving him all the lessons.

My second investigator is
someone that works for the MTC and could be a member or he could be a
real investigator, we don't know! His name is George and he is the
sweetest guy. He has a prosthetic leg and likes to take walks to help
relieve the pain, so for each of our lessons we spend the 45-60 min
walking around the MTC campus :) It is so much fun to get to know him
and we just began teaching him a bit about the plan of salvation
(including Alma 40:23 "The soul shall be restored to the body, and the
body to the soul; yea, and every limb and joint shall be restored to its
body; yea, even a hair of the head shall not be lost; but all things
shall be restored to their proper and perfect frame."). I'm very excited
to get to know him more and teach him even more about what we believe.
Well, I will just wrap up a
few thoughts here now and say it is so wonderful here in the MTC. It was
also a special treat to be some of the first MTC missionaries in a
really long time to be able to call home on mother's day! It was so nice
to hear from my mom and the rest of my family. I love them so much, and
I love everyone :).
Please email me or write me
with any questions/thoughts you have about the MTC! The next time I
email I'll be in the field (it goes so fast!) but I will do my best to
explain some of the complex things the MTC doesn't tell you before you
come in (but I think they should ;) )
Anyways! Talk to you all later!
