Ok yall, so another week has passed, and lots of stuff happened. So here's the goods and bads.
Goods:
The Cornflake Analogy.
The finale of the Dorito War.
Elder Salmon finally got his missing bag!!
Heading to Vancouver tomorrow!!
Teaching appointments have gone well.
Elder Gong of the Quorum of the Twelve spoke to us on Tuesday.
Bads:
I'm starting to get tired of the food.
It's hard to say goodbye to my teachers, companions, and district.
It's only me and Elder Salmon left in our district.
But before I get into the stories and the fun times, I just wanted to talk about how I've changed and what I have learned.
The MTC has been incredible. Having the spirit constantly each and every day has been so powerful and amazing. As someone who hasn't ever really been good at praying or relying on our Heavenly Father, I have loved being able to rely on him. My prayers have become meaningful to me and I have been able to change how I view prayer.
Especially since I'm leaving tomorrow, I have been praying a lot more. I have been excited, and scared to get out into the field. But I know this is what I need to do in my life. I'm scared of the hard times, but I know this is what I need.
Also, something Elder Gong said to us last Tuesday stuck with me. He said that "No evil person could have written the Book of Mormon, and no good person would have written it to deceive". It further helped me to increase my testimony of the Book of Mormon, and the truths in it.
I can't wait to begin my work in British Columbia, and to meet the people there.
Now the stories...
The cornflake analogy: So my comp Elder Salmon, has this analogy about cornflakes. Cornflakes are a decent cereal, but you would rather have like cinnamon toast crunch or reeses puffs. Right? But when all you have is cornflakes, they are still good. Elder Salmon used this analogy for the Sisters here in the MTC cause he has a crush on one of them haha. They aren't bad, but you would rather have something better... haha.
The finale of the Dorito war: The last day of class, we bought almost 20$ worth of Nacho Cheese Doritos to give to Brother Seaman, and hid them all over the classroom, like in a tissue box, on top of a TV and even on top of the lights. His reaction was spotless, and we took a district photo after class with us all holding nacho cheese doritos. But I still have to say that Cool Ranch Doritos are better...
I rate my MTC experience a 11/10. It was so helpful, fun and spiritual. My district was so kind and fun and they have such amazing testimonies. My teachers Brother Seaman and Sister Lamb, are such incredible people and did such an amazing job helping me not only learn about missionary work, but helping me grow my testimony. My comps Elder Salmon and Elder Bullock are totally amazing! They were patient, funny, kind, and just overall incredible people. They will be amazing missionaries in Vancouver and Melbourne, Australia.
I'm totally stoked for Vancouver tomorrow it's gonna be lit and amazing. I can't wait to meet my mission president, my trainer, and to see where I'll be stuck for the next 6 weeks!
