I'm heading off to the Field tomorrow and I'm really excited to do so! (Despite having to get up in 3:00 in the morning.) I'm also a tad nervous and scared to go, because I've learned alot in the MTC but do I truly know enough to prepare myself for the actual thing?
However, the last week at the MTC was amazing. The Zone has never been so close together before and we all love each other very deeply.
Earlier in the week, my companion, Elder Williams, had recieved a concussion during gym! Not from Four-Square (Surprisingly.) but from playing volley-ball. He's been a little slow and off track for the whole weekend but he has put tons of effort into his studies now!! Love him and I'm gonna miss him.
Fourth of July was great, we had a special devotional for the holiday (and earlier we had In-Field Orientation at the MTC for those who are leaving this week.) and the devotional itself was short. However, they had put in the movie 17 Miracles for everyone to watch after the devotional! I've seen that movie many time before and it's still a tear jerker. The movie did make me have a thought, though:
These pioneers had died and traveled long ways for their strong belief in the gospel that I'm teaching. Their sacrifices would be in vain if I didn't choose or didn't try to preach this gospel.
Sunday was great, being fast and testimony meeting. The Elders have never had eaten so much in the caffertia then that day at the MTC. (Though, Elder Williams did eat twelve bowls (no joke cause he had stacked one bowl after another.) of Captain Crunch this morning.) Anyways, the Sister had made us "MTC Yearbooks" and we're all working on getting them signed giving each other our emails. The majority of us live in UTah anuyways so we'll be able to see each other after two years.
Thank you to those who sent me letters and cookies! I love them and keep the letters with me as much I can! Take care everybody!
The crowning event of the Book of Mormon is the ministry of the Lord Jesus Christ among the Nephites soon after his resurrection.
