It felt weird at first being at the MTC but everyone
here is so nice
and amazing. The people I'm here with are the best. Our little branch
is all the people going to Rome and Milan and everyone in it is
becoming so close. I also have two companions. Anziano Martin and
Anziano Moraes. Martin is from Provo and he is the perfect stereotype
of a Mormon Provo boy but I love him he’s so great and he is our
district leader but he and I talk a lot about how to help the district
I'm like the VP ha-ha and then it’s my other companion Anziano Moraes.
he’s the best he is from the southern part of Brazil. His English is
getting so much better and he just started coming out of his shell. he
is one of the funniest guys I know he’s so awesome. We room together
with two other missionaries and they all love the tree you
sent. Derrick left Monday for Tucson and yeah I did get to see him. We
took pictures and sat together at meals and everything. I got to say
goodbye to him so it was all good. He said he loves it in Tucson.
Sorry about your fall though. I hope you're doing better. Oh and I
just got back from the temple! Every week our branch gets to go to the
temple and do a session so we did that today and it was so amazing.
The MTC is one of the best blessings spiritually and temporally in my
life. Yesterday we had Per G. Malm of the seventy come and talk to us
about being missionaries and being 100% missionaries. He also said
something that struck me. He said that being a missionary is NOT a
sacrifice. That didn't really make sense to me because for me it
seemed like a huge sacrifice but I read a scripture in Alma 26 and
Ammon is talking and he says that when he went to the Lamanites the
greatest blessing that he could have received is the blessing to bring
the salvation of thousands of souls. That's when it hit me. One of the
greatest blessings I can ever receive is the ability to bring people
unto eternal salvation. I don't know of many greater blessings. So a
mission isn't a sacrifice it’s a privilege and I'm so luck to be going
on one of the greatest missions in the world. Oh and HAPPY BIRTHDAY
MOM I LOVE YOU SO MUCH!!!!!! Thought I would forget didn't you. Well I
didn't. I hope everything is going amazing in Michigan. I send all my
love to the whole family! Love you all and ciao!!
