Hello everyone,
everything at the MTC is great! i have found it so much of a different experience for me than last week! i am liking it here! besides the sort of in the box mormon feel that kinda sucks lol. but the spirit here is way strong. Christmas was great believe it or not! I really am starting to understand the true meaning of christmas here and understanding what it all means. I have learned a lot in spanish and me and my companion are working hard to learning more. I am having a very good week though here and i am looking forward to learning more about what the Lord has in store for me its going to be amazing i can't wait to get down to Mexico. Well i have figured something out though, a lot of missionaries in my zone who are going to Mexico are having a hard time getting their visas to get into the country, and a few of them are having to get temporarily re-assigned before while they wait for their visas, which i figured was going to happen. But no big deal really, everything happens for a reason yanno and if i get re-assigned its for a reason. I just can't wait to get to mexico. So i guess since the water is so bad in mexico when i got my materials the first day i got here i got a water bottle with a build in water filter in it included in my package. kinda interesting. I am really starting to get the hang of it here though, and hopefully i am getting better at being a missionaary and what not. i'm starting to figure out how the spirit speaks and its not always that feeling of chills that goes down your spine but sometimes it really is a still small voice that you just have to search for and listen for. It's going great though. I have a really great teacher here, Hermano Harmon who has really taught me that you should love everyone that is around you because that is how Christ was and it is something that people can sense and is a really good attribute to have... but the funny thing is he didn't tell me it at all he taught me it through example, everyone in my district agrees too its like when you talk to him he just has this look in his eye that he really just cares about you and wants to help you with everything. I hope that i can eventually grow to be like that. I am working hard to get to know my Heavenly Father and getting closer to my savior and seeing his love for everyone around me. The spirit here is amazing everyone, and i am starting to understand the concept of obedience, that you don't have to be annoyingly Peter Priesthood but you can still be obedient to the commandments of the Lord and that way you can learn to work hand in hand with the spirit. I can't wait to learn more and i just want everyone to know that i know that the gospel is true and that the Lord really does love every single one of us. Yo se que Jose Smith fue un profeta y Thomas S. Monson es un profeta de hoy. Yo testifico que El Libro de Mormon is verdadera y La Iglesia de Jesucristo de los santo de los ultimos dias is restaurada. En el nombre de Jesucristo. Amen. (working on my spanish slowly =) lol. love you all and hope you know that you're all in my prayers. love you! talk to you next thursday!!!
