Can I first start off by saying that the MTC is absolutely incredible. There is no other place I would rather be on earth than here at the MTC.
Fast Sunday was an experience like no other, I actually fasted 2 full meals with an intended purpose! It's amazing to see that fasting can bring so many spiritual experiences into your life. Mom and Dad, thank you for all that you have taught me about fasting, even though, I didn't follow your council at times...I am applying it to my life right now. So thank you.
Well, you may never have guess this, but I have been asked to serve as Zone Leader in our branch along with my companion! Honestly, I didn't know I was obedient enough to serve in this capacity! It is all because of my parents, for bringing me up in the ways of The Lord and for that I am forever grateful!
During our Sunday devotionals Sister Nelson, the wife of Elder Nelson of the quorum of the 12 apostles shared some spiritual advice as to how we should speak. She goes on to say.."if we want to speak with the tongue of angels,DEDICATE every day of your life to The Lord! Even mobile device time! I felt the spirit strong in that part. I challenge us to use this in our lives, we should also read D&c 60:2 to see the blessings that will come out of it! Trust me, I have seen it in my life already.
My companion here is Elder Cravans and he is amazing. The food here is awesome but has given us bad gas if you know what I mean. You are probably laughing at this mom and dad.
My time is almost finished here. I fly, out next Tuesday . Next time I get to write is on the 17th. It is getting pretty cold here now. Good thing my body still remembers I AM a Canadian.
