Ups, Downs and a Suit Coat; Served with a Side of Cream Cheese.....
My Zone
This week was filled with some ups and some downs. We 
had an awesome Anziano go home this week because of 
severe anxiety. I have so much respect for him. He is an 
awesome person and a spiritual giant. He will be missed, 
I pray for him everyday.  This week was also filled with 
some of the strongest spiritual moments I have ever had 
at the MTC. I know how real prayer is and how powerful
it can be. It is a direct line from us to our 
Heavenly FatherI also know that He has given us prayer, 
so we can use it in everything we do. I also know that 
He will always answer our prayers. It is honestly so cool 
that we have that opportunity to talk with our Heavenly 
Father at any time of the day or for any reason 
He will listen to us.


A Tie Exchange With a Great Elder...

Thursday: 
Today was a little hard. We had a guy from our district who was in our room go home today because of severe anxiety he had been dealing with. Our whole room was very close and it was hard to see him go. He was an awesome guy with a great spirit.



Friday: 
Just some more of the usual. Learning, studying and all the stuff in between. Then Anziano Albright showed us all how to break an apple with two fingers and his forehead. It was probably one of the funniest, coolest things I've ever seen! He is an awesome guy, with a great laugh!! Never fail to smile around him!!

Saturday:
Today was pretty good. Just another normal day at the MTC. Learning new stuff everyday and its great!! Today I learned how I can work on being patient. Everyone in my zone is awesome and have such great spirits. 

Sunday: 
So today was fast Sunday and I wasn't as hungry as I usually am. It was pretty nice. And then  dinner came and we went full out!! Then we watched the Christmas Devotional and it was awesome!!! It talked about how we all love the Christmas spirit and how that the Light of Christ is pretty much the same thing but better. Then I got to say goodbye to on of my good friends Elder Warner before he left before to Brazil and was able to give him a blessing. He is gonna be an awesome missionary and I can't wait to see the things he does!!

Monday:
Today was another normal day... When we went to teach the investigator though we accidentally brought in the english version of the restoration pamphlet so that was a little awkward haha. We all had a good laugh

Tuesday:
This morning started out rough haha. My companion accidently put his bagel with cream cheese on my suit coat. But hey sometimes your suit coat just needs a little cream cheese ya know? Then later that night we had an awesome devotional by Craig C. Christiansen. He was an awesome speaker!! He talked about how important Joseph Smith was to our church.

Wednesday:
Wow today was awesome. Today I probably had the most spiritual experience I have had so far at the MTC. We were having this lesson and the teacher asked us all to share our testimonies on Christ. At that exact moment everyone in the whole room just knew that the spirit was there. Oh and get this. Throughout this whole experience I had one of my prayers answered. It was something had been praying about for awhile and then BAM!!! the Lord answered it for me. And it was one of the most clear answers I have ever received. It was such an awesome experience.


Anyways tell everyone I love them and that I pray for them every night!! Love you guys!!
