MTC Week 6

Aray Dii!! Another week down at the MTC. This week has been a pretty good week. It's starting to cool down here which is nice. BYU going for two at the end of the game was a big thing last saturday. I thought it was funny. 

This week we had the opportunity to hear from two apostles. Elder D. Todd Christofferson and Elder M. Russell Ballard spoke to us. Elder Christofferson gave a talk about Repentence and how being trusted is more important than being loved. Christ loves everyone but he doesn't trust everyone. It made me reflect if I was someone he could trust. Elder M. Russell Ballard talked about if you learn to stop focusing on yourself, and start focusing on Jesus Christ and others, you'll be a more successful missionary and person. He also said in the beginning of conversion, the investigator's feelings are more important than what they know. He also told us we were the best missionaries in the history of the church which was cool. 

We saw 3 new segments in Meet the Mormons and there was one about an Italian family who lived in Vegas and feed food to the homeless which was really cool. We had Skype TRC yesterday and it was pretty cool. We talked to this Thai Mom who lives in California. Her Daughter kept on getting on the screen and saying hi. She went in front of the camera and we said Sawaddii to her and she responded the same and it was so cute and then we said Sabaay Dii and she didn't know what it meant haha. and then her Mom picked her up and said "She doesn't even speak Thai." and i started dying. Oh yeah and my companion asked her how often she has kids and i couldn't breathe after that. All the other people were skyping in the same room and it was really loud and hard to focus but it was good. Idk if i'm ready to speak Thai though haha.

Our district helped the Senior Companions into the MTC. They were so funny and something I didn't know was that they were scared and nervous too. Also, they pack a lot of stuff. There rooms are also really nice. Thanks for the pumpkin bread. Oh and the primary kids sent me letters and they were the highlight of my day. One of the letters said Remember the Godhead and it was so true. They also asked if I liked to play basketball and if i did was it fun. That was pretty much my week. I can't wait to leave for Thailand and teach the people there. Love y'all and miss y'all.
