Hey Hey!
So after I wrote my first Email Elder Provard and I were able to do TRC (training discussions with real people) We had a guy named Thrijae (3J) a Poly who plays volleyball for Stanford. That was a really interesting less cause we were still learning.
Sunday was Fantastic! We had a great fast and testimony meeting with our zone. Before we did that we had a Mission conference with the whole MTC. It was great, they talked a lot about obedience. After dinner we had a Fireside with the Whole MTC and the Pres. of the Provo Temple came and also talked to us on obedience. We then got to go watch a film, more so a past devo at the MTC, the one we went to was of Elder Bednar in June of 2009. The topic was Recognizing the Spirit. IT WAS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!!! YOU NEED TO WATCH IT!! IT IS THE BEST 45 MINUTES YOU CAN SPEND WATCHING SOMETHING!!!
Monday We had gym and class. I didn't get kicked out of 4 square so it was a good day. Class is always good.
Tuesday Elder Provard and I decided to fast because we were not having much success with our two investigators. I have never been so spiritually uplifted and spiritually spent in one day. It was incredible. That night we had a Devo. where Elder Aidukaitus from the seventy came and spoke with us about returning to the Celestial kingdom. He challenged us to go back and write in our journals that we wanted to go there in BIG letters, and why we wanted to go there. It was a great talk. I also liked his Brazilian accent. :D (Dad can you send me my line of Priesthood. Thanks)
Wednesday we had class, gym, then another class. Although Elder Scott came to the MTC that day so when I saw him for the first time I almost took him off his feet. We both a laugh about it before he had to go to his class. Best part is, is that he is part of my zone!! Legit!
Yesterday was In-Field Orientation. Basically activities so we could learn stuff that we couldn't learn in the class room, like how to work with members and stuff like that. After that we had class. The class was split in half and we were able to teach and investigator with 5 missionaries, crazy I know. But it was so cool. The spirit was so strong during that time. That was probably the best class we have ever had.
Today I was able to write letters to those of you who wrote me, thanks for writing! Every time I get mail it's like Christmas Day!!! :D
Also sometime this week I looked in my second scripture case and found a lot of stuff from High School, including some Turkey Grams. Haha! I want to say thanks for those that wrote me those in high school. I threw most of the stuff out but I did keep some of my favorite Turkey Grams.
Andrea Gordon, Thanks for writing me a Turkey Gram that went like this, "A friend will bail you out of jail, a best friend will be sitting in jail with you going "That was fun.", but a b.f.f. will bail you out of jail saying "I told you I could run faster." " That brought a good laugh to Elder Provard and I.
Justin Cook, Thanks for the Turkey Gram that went something like this... :) "Justin Cook Aghaaoinasldifjglnfjg BOMB THREAT!!!" That also made my night.
I would love to hear how all of you are doing! It's always nice to hear what is going on in the lives of your friends! :D
Funny story before I go. Elder Provard a package of letters one day and was reading them. I said to him, because I didn't get any mail, "I wish I got mail" He then found a letter in the package address to me and said "Here you go" I then said "Wow, ask and ye SHALL receive." We then almost died from laughter. Haha! :D
