Hey guys! I hope everyone has had a great week! My week was pretty
good. It was pretty Kemal here at the MTC. Not much has happened.
Pretty much just class eating semi good food and more class. Oh and
teaching investigators!
So this week was the week we taught our TRC! It was so sad. On
Thursday we had a lesson with a member present. It was so nice because
he wasn't the normal member present volunteer. He was a dad with a
couple kids, one is back from a mission and one is on a mission and one is
getting ready to go on a mission. But that's not why he was nice to
have with us. It was because he was a grown up and was married.
Because at the beginning of the lesson we were asking about how her
reading was going and stuff and then she went off on some stuff. She
said her family and friends were telling her that mormons like to
marry lots of wives. And she was pretty concerned and stuff. So first
off we are like oh crap! It just came so far out of the blue it was
crazy! So the guy was able to talk to her about all that stuff and we
were able to read some stuff to her from the scriptures but it was so
hard. And then she asked if we sacrifice animals in the temple and we
are like oh boy.. so then we talked about the temple too but it was
nice! And then yesterday was the last time we taught her. We taught for
an hour and ten min which was 20 min over time. And half of it was
trying to explain the word of wisdom. She was shocked when we said we
don't drink coffee and we invited her to do her best to stop. She said
she will try her very best and that's all we could ask of her so it
went good as well!
So on Sunday this singer musician guy came for our devotional. His
name was Kenneth Cope. He is so talented!! He sang and the spirit was
really strong and I loved it!!! It was so good. Some things he sang
about and said were stuff like "could it be that God loves broken
things" we are all broken so it was really good to here. He also sang
stuff like "the Holy Ghost doesn't have a body, he can use mine","the
Holy Ghost doesn't have a mouth, he can use mine." He sang a lot more
but it's a lot to write so yeah there you go!
Also on Tuesday night a member of the 70 came, Elder Clayton. He is so
amazing and spiritual! It was so cool!! Some stuff he said is "Christ
can perform miracles through us and bless others" and "He wants our
time and our talents, but what he mostly wants is a broken heart and a
contrite spirit." I loved those! It's just so simple! But we need to
be worthy. One other great thing he said was "there is nothing that can
cut off the light and power of Christ." I loved that it's so amazing
and true.
On Wednesday we also had our first skype TRC and we will have one more
next week. So me and my comp got to Skype someone that is fluent in
Spanish and they are all members too. They were from Florida. It was so
cool!! A companionship in my district said that their guy was giving
his testimony and at the end was telling a story and said "I don't
know how to say this in Spanish" and went off in English. They said it
was hilarious!
Well I've pretty much ran out of things to say so I guess this is the
end of this weeks email! I know that this church is true. Christ does
live. He leads this church and deals with all of its affairs. We have
a true living prophet today and is guided by our Heavenly Father. I
know I am where I'm supposed to be. Till next week! Oh yeah I got my
flight plans to Ecuador yesterday so that's pretty cool. Alright now
it's done. Bye!!
My classroom view! We can see the whole valley and BYU campus.
My afternoon study time! It's beautiful!
Flight Plans!
Me and a statue of the Prophet of the restoration, Joseph Smith. It was after the Skype TRC.
We leave the MTC at 3:30. And yeah I forgot to send another pic in it so I'll send it in this email. But yeah I'm excited to! And yeah I got a hair cut! On Tuesday. The one with the statue is with the haircut.
This was before anyone left our district. Our two teachers on the ends!! I love the one on the right! He is a spiritual genius!! I'm sad we are leaving him! Only two left from our district. One of the elders and then the sister in the black dress. But is was our whole district picture!
