Another week gone in the MTC. We finished up our practice lessons with Laura this week, and it was sad but we left on a good note. We've also been holding lessons with people around the world over skype so that has been fun. Its pretty funny how everytime we have a lesson with someone, they pray for our Spanish because they probably didn't understand most of our words. But that's alright we're studying hard. Next week will be my last here at the MTC and its pretty crazy to think how this past month has flown by. A week from this Monday I'll be preaching the gospel in El Salvador.
Scripture this week is one we shared in one of our lessons, with Ricardo. Its found in Alma 34:34
34 Ye cannot say, when ye are brought to that awful crisis, that I will repent, that I will return to my God. Nay, ye cannot say this; for that same spirit which doth possess your bodies at the time that ye go out of this life, that same spirit will have power to possess your body in that eternal world.
This scripture really hit home this week, just thinking about how there is is no time to waste. Life is about improving and growing and we can't put that off until later.
My companion, Elder Warner, and I were made Zone Leaders this past Sunday and along with the charge of watching over about 70 Elders and Sisters, we got an awesome flip phone. And of course, us being the 18 and 19 year old young men we are, the first thing we did was change the ringtone. So later this week we were sitting in our lesson with Laura, and we had just gotten to a really specific part that she had been struggling with, and boom all the sudden you just hear, "Its a great day to be a missionary" repeated over and over in my voice coming from my pocket. It was super embarasing but she laughed it off and we were able to continue teaching. Other than that this week has been pretty smooth, we accidently broke an elevator, I lost our phone in a bush for a while, and we assigned every day of the week with a little twist (shoutout to ASB for the spirit day ideas) but its a good time here in the MTC. And as we say every morning at the bright, early hour of 6:30, "Es un gran dia para ser un misionero"
Thanks for the love and support, hope all is well,
