Well, this week was really fun, but
rather uneventful, except for conference, which was absolutely amazing!!! I loved it so much!! Especially the talk in priesthood from President
Eyring. I would really encourage
everyone to go watch them all again and again, because there was so much in
there!! Also, when Elder Ballard
talked about visiting the missionaries in Europe, I was one of those!! Wahoo!!!
Other than that, this week was all
pretty much the same as the last ones, just more classes and language and
study, but the Spirit is so strong. One
experience from the park last week though.
I was on a split with Elder Roberts (my first companion) and we met a
guy who said he was Catholic, but then started explaining that God was in the
trees and grass, but really wasn't there at all....it was way confusing, but it
was a good conversation, during which I was offered a sandwich and wine. (I didn't
know what it was at first so I just said no.. good thing I did!)
Anyway, he then started telling us
about how he was a mercenary in Brazil and got hit by a bomb, at which point he
opened his shirt and started showing us his crazy scars, which were huge!!
So, that was the park experience.
Other than that not much has happened. Today is the last p-day in the CCM though, which
is scary. Tuesday at six I get on a
bullet train for 2 hours and I get to go to Barcelona!!! Ahhhhh!!!!
Today was also the last time I get
to go to the temple for 23 months. It's
kinda sad, and I spent a ton of time in the Celestial room, just feeling the Spirit
and thinking of my mission. My time
here at the MTC has been super fun, but I am so ready to get out into the
field. I don't know yet where I will be
for my first area, but please pray for me to have a good trainer and an awesome
experience for the first few days out in the field. Next time you hear from me I will officially
be in the Barcelona Spain mission!!
I love each one of you a lot, and I
hope you all are keeping your testimonies strong.
Love,
