I'm almost done with my mtc experience, it's kind of surreal still that I'm actually a missionary.
I've learned a lot here but I'm sure there's a lot I'm going to learn. My district has been amazing and have become great friends. The teachers we've had have prepared us really well. The biggest thing I've learned is to trust the Lord in everything.
But as amazing as my education has been in the MTC, I am so excited to be in the field for so many reasons. The MTC is basically a college dorm life, so I'm hoping that the mission homes are a bit different. I already care for the people in my mission area so much and I haven't even met them yet. I know there's going to be some trials on my mission, but I know that Jesus Christ blesses those who exercise faith, so I'm trying to be a bit more confident in myself.
As a missionary I would feel bad if I didn't extend an invitation, so WILL YOU (yes you!) read Alma 26? This chapter is basically Ammon's homecoming talk from his mission, and he praises God so much for being so genuinely thankful, and I want to try to find this level of faith in my life. I know that listening to someone else's testimony is a great way to strengthen your own, and Ammon's is an amazing one to read.
I'm not really sure how to do a mission email, I hope I'm doing it right. But I know that this work is what I'm supposed to be doing and I'm happy that I can share my mission experiences with family and friends.

Even though I mostly just talk about how I'm feeling. I'm not really good with the details and stuff.
