THE MTC Week 1

April, 2012

"A sacred missionary." - Its amazing how the MTC starts to change you. Not necessarily the MTC, but the Spirit that abides there. I "hope to become a sacred missionary". Not just a missionary but a sacred missionary. In our efforts, no matter what we are involved it, are we trying to become sacred? A sacred teacher? A sacred member? Or even a sacred person?  Its then that we ask ourselves what it means to be sacred.

Everything is going good, I'm starting to enjoy it. My first few weeks were really tough but it's going good now. I've been made district leader so my responsabilities are through the roof.  It's stressful and it makes life busy..more busy. Oh and Mitch is district leader too... so I guess he is a stud.. or he could be in my case and not a stud but still district leader.

I hope you got my letter I sent it sometime last week. It's really frustrating that I only have thirty minutes on the computer but whatever. I'm learning a lot, they just cram it all in the first few days and all I wanted to do is go home. I miss Sage and obviously my family.

I don't know what T and Krista were talking about but the food is not good.

So this sunday at devotional Elder M Russel Ballard came and it was amazing. It was like a spiritual nuke to my face. Also it's David Archuletas last sunday so he sang The Spirit of God.. and wow. He has the greatest voice ever that kid is a stud. Also I saw him everyday cause he was in the same building as I am. I uh held the door open for him and said, "Hey Elder."...it was pretty epic. Anyways someone should have told me he was so short, it bothered me.  

I think i'm finally getting it down and trying to teach through the spirit. It was so hard but it gets easier. i'm not hating the MTC but i can't wait to get to Australia... I just wish I was super unreal at teaching so I wouldn't have to be here for another two weeks.

I'm trying to get a grip on this work and when it feels like i've figured something out I get humbled in some way or something. I've learned a lot about what KEEP THE FAITH means. I still don't feel prepared enough for this work. I gave a blessing last night and it was pretty cool. Actually I just stood in but still awesome... I miss you guys and hope to become a sacred missionary. My comp has grown on me a lot. The kid is here for the right reasons.
