This week went by so fast I can not believe it is already Tuesday. I can't believe in a week from today I will be in Ohio. Ahh that seems crazy. It seems like yesterday I arrives but now I have to start packing this week to leave. Wow that seems crazy. Well earlier today me and my district went to the temple and it was such a great experience the spirit was so strong. I Cant believe that will be the last time going to the temple in a while. This week was a busy one. Let me just begin with Tuesday night. So are P days end at 6:00 here so after P day you go back and put your dress clothes back on and then we hear a devotional from somebody. Well this devotional was not from just anybody is from Elder Anderson!!! It was actullay pretty amazing one of my companions had to go to the information desk for something and as we are walking to the front desk we saw him walking in the building. Oh course me and my companions were so shocked to see him we just stayed were we were at until he left but wow that was the closest I have ever been to a Apostle. His devotional was really amazing he talked about temples and how spiritual they are.
It has been really fun as a district we have tried to do are excercise time togther. So this past week we have been playing can Jam which is a really fun game with a frisbe. Then we also played four square it is a lot of fun. It is quit fun to run and jump. verses sitting down all day in classes.
Most days here at the MTC the food is pretty good but this week for some reason we had a few days were the whole day was a bad food day. It was not just one meal but the whole day. The one thing I have really loved to eat here was the Friday night Pizza night and the chicken but besides that the food here is OK. I have to thank my wonderful parents for this one because my parents send me a email last week asking if I NEED anything and of course I said DR. PEPPER even though I really do not need it. Well to my surprise my parents not only send me a little Doctor Pepper but a whole 12 pack. So of course thru out the week I have been helping myself with Dr. Pepper. But do not worry I am not consuming all that Dr. pepper on my own. One of my Companions also loves Dr. Pepper so of course i have been sharing. Also everytime me and my companions get food that we want to share we put it on this extra bed that we have in are room and the pile is about half the size of the bed. So do not worry we are not going hungry.
So this Sunday we had to teach not only in one class but two we taught in relief society about the apostasy and restoration. We thought it went pretty good. One thing i got out of that lesson is that Christ is the chief cornerstone and without Christ and the prophets council the church will not be here or if It was here it will just collapse because we will have no guidance to direct us. Then we also taught in our district council about patience. We used the talk continue in patience by Dieter F. Ucdorf. That was a really good talk and what I love about the talk is that he mentions that we must be patient with our selves. I am new in the mtc. And It could be stressful. But one thing he taught me is that we can't control the people we are teaching and we can't give up on them just like we can't give up on are selves.
I am excited to see where the rest of my week takes me. I will email u guys all hopefully next week we will see when my next p day is after today.
