Hey what’s up everyone? I didn’t send an email last week because there was nothing to say haha. Well my P day is on Thursday as you probably know now
Well I don’t know how I’m going to write these emails yet but I guess we will find out as we go. Last week was a pretty hard week, because I was having mad fomo and I was really missing some people. On Thursday I went over to my grandmas house and played board games and watched the Jazz game, home MTC has some perks hahha. My cousins were over at my grandmas with us playing games too which made it even more fun, I got to make some more memories with them before I’m gone gone into the actual mission field. On Friday we had our first real day in the MTC and it was a blast! I got to meet my district for the first time cuz I accidentally missed my first day, ooops. Every single day is basically the same though, I wake up (late), then I read my scriptures for about 30 minutes, get ready for class, then I have class at 9:30 to 12:30 then I can do whatever I want till 2:30 then I have class for another 3 hours. Holy I don’t know why but I’m just so tired after all the classes I could go to bed at 7. Usually after class I play board games with my family. Our favorite game to play is Settlers of Catan, which is a super fun game I love it. So that’s what everyday basically looks like but every now and then we have a TRC or workshop. Then we change the time everyday but we do companionship study too. Holy crap I’m in a trio and I love it so much my original companion Elder Jensen is from Springville, Utah and is going to the same mission as me so we will fly to San Antonio together. My other companion Elder Humphries is from Cedar City, Utah and he is our companionship because his companion never showed up to class. However I’m loving missionary life right now so much, it’s the biggest blessing ever to be a missionary for our Savior Jesus Christ. Holy crap my district is so awesome!!! I literally have the best district in the whole world NO CAP. I love hearing what they have to say and learning by their example.
So yesterday we had our first TRC and holy we did so good. The spirt was so strong and I really felt like we helped him feel of his Heavenly Fathers love. The MTC is so amazing it teaches you so much things, I know who would’ve guessed!? I feel so much better about teaching lessons, asking the right question, and how to share scriptures! I’ve learned sooo much in just one week but I still have a lot more to learn. Guys I’m telling you that the Lord blesses you when you want to learn and want to become better.
Lastly a spiritual message. I want to share with you something my afternoon teacher taught us. His name is Brother Sandstrom and we were talking about Jesus Christ, then he started to talk to us about the atonement! He said something that was so powerful, its something that I’ve never thought about before. He said that there was a time when our Savior thought about you! He lived your life for a second in the garden. Do you guys realize how insane that is, he took time to feel what your feeling. He didn’t say something like John, Jimmy, and Tom are going to feel sad so let me feel sad real quick so I can understand that. NO! He personally thought about you and went through and felt what you would feel so he could understand. Our Savior and Heavenly Father love y’all so much its so insane. I love y’all so much too. If you ever need anything remember that you can email me and talk to me, but more importantly your Heavenly Father is there for you.
