okay sorry if this is brief
First off - wow thanks for the packages mom - loved it. And thanks to whoever sent me cakebites - that was great!!!!! and third thanks to ash trus, kar and marie, and adam for the letters(or emails) and dad too! loved them all!
Okay everything has been great! I love the MTC and my companion and district think i know everyone...could be true.
-DEVO on sunday was rad - the speaker was the brother Heaton of the MTC and he talked to us about how to be on the same plane as your investigators...ultra helpful for the upcoming lessons i had this week with investigators.
-DEVO on tuesday was the best though
IN THE MARRIOTT CENTER which is basically a second home! ahh loved it
i sang in the choir under the direction of brother eggett - bummer of knowing the director is being asked to say the closing prayer in front of 1500 missionaries....
also elder arnolds talk was great he gave us 6 tips to be successful
-understand who you are
-You have been given specific gifts and talents...use them
-understand the sacredness of your calland the coveenants you commited to. pg 137of pmg explains
-understand and observe the law of obedience
-understand your purpose pg 1 of pmg (invite others to come unto christ 3 nephi 11:21)
"always be like christ on your mission" Im working on that!
-he didnt give us the 6th
it was great to hear this again because im pretty sure i was told these things before but it was just nice to hear it again!
My teacher sis hawkes also shared with us ALma 26:12,15-16,26-31 and 35! its a lot but i felt kind of discouraged because our investigators were crazy rejecting and didnty want to listen and i wasw just feeling sort of down - satans work i know haha - but this made me realize to rejoice in our lord for the small work of even one soul!!!
also my other teacher brother lyons answered a question about how jacob 1:19 says that we will have their blood on our garments if we basically fail to invite them. so we asked if that was true and if it was truely our personal fault for not giving it our all for every investigator - i had already felt horrible for doing this to our trc inv. He said - No! because you have not let the lord down! Just have faith and repent. he just wants to see you learn and grow from the experience,.
brody i want you to read alma 48;17. be that kind of young man! you and dad should do comp study together just like me
write me im out of time!
i love you all!
i leave on monday morning!
BYE
i love the lord!
