MTC week 3

 Okay, before I start just want to make sure y'all know that I can't respond until Saturdays to anything you send me, but know that I am really grateful and love it when you do.

So the highlights of this week are, of course, my district. They are the best and they continue to help me learn and laugh. There have been a lot of spiritual moments that have been really cool. I also happen to be reigning champion of foosball and beat Elder Williams in chess once, so I am grateful for the Lord's help in that game. This week, I also had the opportunity to learn spikeball which was very fun and Elder Howells even ran with me some mornings. Next I wanted to talk about my teachers, Sister Howes and Brother Neyman. They are both so awesome and these last few classes with them have been a real blessing and it has strengthened me as a missionary.

Two more things I almost forgot, choir practice and the greenies. I am not the best singer and the kid next to me, even after admitting he just "dabbled" in choir; he kept getting mad at me for not hitting the right notes. Luckily, Elder Royer sat right next to me so we just kept joking about it and it ended up being a great time. Then this Wednesday, new missionaries came in and I was asked to help them carry their suitcases up the stairs, so for around an hour I just lugged luggage up two flights of stairs. And it was awesome, I loved it!

Honestly, the MTC is the best place to learn. There are some people who really enjoy the food too, although lots more don't. And in my humble opinion I think the food is great, as long as you set your expectations really low. It really helps hit home the idea to feast on the words of Christ because the food isn't that fulfilling. ;) 

There have been many more amazing moments but then you'd be reading this all day. I just wanted to say that I love all of you, and in the words of someone else, "Jesus loves you 2 whole heckin tons." The Book of Mormon is amazing and the Gospel brings hope. I challenge you all to read Mosiah 24:13-14. Don't forget to write and tell me if anyone else would like to get these or hasn't been because I accidently wrote the wrong email. Have a great week!
