7 DAYS TILL LA

Holy cow the MTC flies by so fast! I feel like I just got here and I'm already starting to get ready to leave! They had me and my companion get haircuts today and we got our travel plans. I leave next Tuesday at 3:30 in the morning! The MTC has been awesome and I'm definently going to miss it! It's been so great to be able to feel the spirit so strong every day. 

Tonight we got to go to a devotional where President Waddell talked about the power of the Book of Mormon and how we should use it more to help investigators. The spirit was so strong and I know I'm going to miss these devotionals a lot! 

Another thing that's been great about the MTC has been the food! For example, tonight we had salmon, roast beef, shredded steak, pudding, strawberry shortcake, and peanutbutter pie! They've fed me well while I've been here for sure.  


This past week has been great! I've been able to teach investigators that came to the MTC wanting to learn more about we believe and that has been an incredible experience! It's the best feeling ever to help people get more happiness and comfort in their lives! That's what makes serving a mission so great. One of my favorite scriptures that I came across this week was in  2 Nephi 26:24 
"He doeth not anything save it be for the benefit of the world; for he loveth the world, even that he layeth down his own life that he may draw all men unto him. Wherefore, he commandeth none that they shall not partake of his salvation."
I am so grateful for our savior Jesus Christ and I couldn't be happier to be serving and representing him on a mission!
