Hello everyone!
This week has been so exciting! Ill run through some of the most memorable points with you:
SUNDAY- Elder Ballard came and addressed all of us. His words uplifted me and gave me comfort in knowing that I can do this!
MONDAY- Were currently teaching someone named Miranda, she is attending UVU and is an amazing person. We've loved sharing the gospel with her and inviting her to come closer to Christ. Some of the most memorable points are that we can have families forever and that through Christ everything is possible. I know the good news of this gospel can bless lives.
TUESDAY- Yet again another devotional with a visiting apostle! Elder Andersen came and talked to all of the missionaries and about faith. How all of us have a fire within us that we need to protect and keep alive. After the meeting was over we all stood up and stayed standing as he left out of respect. Then as he exited the building he walked by me and shook my hand. I was one of only a few able to speak with him but he told me I have the light of Christ and that I need to share that with the world.
WEDNESDAY- Don't remember what happened but I'm sure it was a good day.
THURSDAY - Same as Wednesday, probably consisted of a lot of hard studying and language practice.... just like every other day here at the MTC.
FRIDAY- Found a new way to mark my scriptures, made a key and had it laminated and am super excited to put it to use.
SATURDAY - This morning I went to the temple and was able to feel the spirit there and I know that God loves each of us so much. What a beautiful start to a day.
Fun highlight was this last week I FINALLY ran into someone I know. It is a sister missionary from an EFY that I attended 3 years ago. EFY stands for Especially For Youth, and its a week long church camp type deal. I was at Utah State for that one and it was so good to see her, she's an amazing missionary.
To finish things off I want all of you to know how excited I am about the work I have in front of me. I love this gospel. I love my savior Jesus Christ and know that he is our brother and best friend. I invite you all to look for ways you can be closer to the savior in your every day lives. Whether thats reading a short passage of scriptures every day or praying to feel of His love. He Lives. I love Him. I am a representative of Jesus Christ, and as I carry his name on my badge and in my heart I am blessed with the honor of doing his work. Love you all and have an amazing week.
Elder Anderson
