MTC: Halfway

Hello Familia!   So yeah! I'm already at my half way point!  gahhh, I can't believe it. It's going by super quick. Annnnd I can't wait for Rachel Chapman to come in Today!! She's going to love this spiritual boot camp. It's great. The days last forever, but the weeks go by super fast...doesn't make any sense haha. I'm starting to get into the groove of things...I'm still way super tired every time I wake up, but you have to learn to just suck it up hahaha. It's good though. LOL Jon was right about the food... it's so good! It's hard not to stuff your face. But I haven't lost or gained any weight...so I think I'm doing pretty good =D. Oh! There's someone another district who was in the same efy as me! He's speaking Spanish and he's going to Salt Lake City for his mission!! He went to the Ohio efy back innnn 2010 i think? yeah haha way crazy.  

 

 Yesterday Craig Christense, of the Presidency of the Seventy spoke to us. He talked about prayer and how to find answers to prayers. SUPER good talk. Afterwards my district had a good discussion with Brother Monson about faith. Brother Monson is just one of the coolest guys ever...He's so smart! He can quote any scripture. I mean ANY scripture. Someday when I'm old and bald...I'm gonna be cool like him. We talked about faith...and the things that Jesus Christ did during His ministry. He went about healing the sick and the blind. We wear His names over our hearts...and when we are called on to bless people, we need to have that faith because we ARE representatives of Jesus Christ.  We have to have that faith. That's one thing I've been really focusing on this week...FAITH. I don't know if I have exercised this much faith before going into the MTC.  A scripture I keep reading is Ether 12:27. Kyle told me to read the verse before he left on his mission...and that scripture has really impacted my life since then. In the MTC I've really been learning on how to be humble and turn my weaknesses unto God. When you humble yourself, and then pray in faith...then he will turn your weaknesses into strengths. I've been letting myself go and I've been trying to let the Lord shape me into the person who he needs to be.

 

Well I gotta go but I got the package and I really appreciate it. Noth'n like more junk food to eat =D. I'm thinking about y'all and my friends back at home. Love ya!!
