MTC-Provo, UT
Hey Momma,
Conference was very good, I got so much out of it and i only fell asleep a couple times during the girl talks so thats ok :) Priesthood session was super amazing i love how the apostles are just so straight forward about everything. But thats how they have to be because of the stubburn society we have today.
I love the mtc and all of the firesides and the talks and inspirational message that are givin to us. Every Sunday night we have someone from the mtc give us a talk and every Tuesday night we have a general authority come talk to us. Its so funny to hear people that have been here for 7 or so weeks complain about getting ANOTHER 70 member. haha Only in the mtc will people complain about having a member of the 70 talk to us.
Every talk that has been givin is so good. This Sunday and this Tuesday were so good. The guy who spoke to us on Sunday played football for byu. He was the first poly to get a scholarship for sports there. Then went to the nfl and played for the eagles and then greenbay and he just had an amazing testimony and message about missionary work. Elder Oaks talked to us yesterday. he is a former member of the presidency of the 70 and he is a 4 star general. It was amazing to hear him speak because you would think that every story he was going to tell would have been about the airforce, but it was the exact opposite. Every story he told was about the church and missionary work and how gosple changes peoples lives. He has traveled to every part of the world you can think of to visit missions and speak and just various church duties and he told us that out of every place he has been to the mtc has the strongest spirit. Its so true, 2000 missionaries all having one focus in mind and all of us having to give all we have to the Lord. Its amazing.
Its so hard for me not to feel inadequet (dont know how to spell) because everyday i see such amazing missionaries and how strong their testimonies are. They have all lived their lives in such a way to where they were worthy and ready and willing to serve a mission. I just wish that i could have been more like that. But i know that i have learned a lot and i am a better person for it and i know that when i feel inadequet all i have to do is pray to my loving Heavenly Father and ask for help and guidance and i will recieve it.
Things with my comp are starting to get better. I love him and i want the best for him and i know that God will help us with the problems we have with eachother. Well times up. I love you all.
Oh and back to the subject of dear elders, i do recieve them but they dont print them on Saturday. so if you plan on sending me a dearelder for my b day on Saturday i wont get it till Monday. And i was planning on getting you a name tag for mothers day but they told me that its against the rules so I'm sorry about that.
I dont know if i have told you lately, but i love the temple. When i went today i felt like i needed to pray for the person that i was going through for and to ask for HIS spirit to be with me so when i prayed for that the spirit hit me so strong. probably the strongest that i have ever felt at the temple and i just know he was so grateful for what i was doing for him. You probably already do that but if you dont i challange you all to do it.
