Howdy! It's crazy that the next email I write is going to be from the land of the Book of Mormon. I didn't believe when people told me that in the MTC, the days feel like weeks, and the weeks feel like days. But it is true. Our teacher asked us who is ready to get out in the field the other day. And it was interesting because all of the people who are good at Spanish are scared to get in the field. And yet all the people who are not that good at Spanish are ready to go out. I am defiantly ready to go out. I feel like I should be more scared, but I am just not. I honestly don't feel that prepared at all, but that doesn't make me nervous. I'm an on the job training kinda guy.     Anyway this week was pretty boring. I have been doing the same thing for six weeks now, so there is not a lot to talk about. This week was a little sad. I had to say goodbye to Owen and Ethan. But it was fun spending  time with both of them. Me and Owen killed it on the basketball court. For ...

This week has been an emotional roller coaster. To start out last Wednesday me and Josh went bowling, and it was a riot. But the weirdest thing has happened. As you guys know, I became a missionary, and then I bowled a 200. Well Wednesday I beat my record, my new best is 215. I really am being blessed for my efforts. I just have to keep looking for the small blessings.     Now for the subject of this email. On Thursday Hermano Ramos let us know that it was his last day of teaching. We where all really sad, he is an amazing teacher. At the end of the day we had Q and A about anything we wanted to know about him. He then bared his testimony about how the work we are doing is the best, and most important work on this Earth. He started to tear up, and then he said goodbye to the rest of the class. When things get sentimental, I start to cry too, so I started tearing up. And to make things more awkward I had mentoring with him. So after he said goodbye to everyone else, I had 30 mi...

Hey everyone I am half way through the MTC! And I can not wait until I am out of here. This week was honestly really rough. And nothing too fancy happened MTC wise. I started making stop motion videos again, to pass the time. My comp said I should start making Book of Mormon ones. He was right, so I made one with Teancum, because I think he is really cool. He is the Seal Team Six of the Book of Mormon. So if you guys have any Ideas of what video I should do next let me know.      As you guys know the MTC is my nightmare. I struggle paying attention to begin with, so having to pay attention in Spanish is really hard for me. I also don't like useless meetings, but in the MTC we have about 2 of those a week, they are called workshops. In a nutshell, workshops are an hour of talking about how to safely use social media. They used to drive me nuts, but I found a way to make them interesting. Every workshop for the last 3 weeks have been pretty much the same. And the same peopl...

I am really glad I keep a journal, because I honestly can't remember what happened this week.  All I know is that it was infinitely better than last week.  I had a cool experience with the Book of Mormon. We were going to read from it, so I opened mine up, and I'm not kidding, I didn't even read a verse, but I felt the power of that book.  The spirit testified to me that the Book of Mormon is truly another testament of Jesu Cristo!  Now that I am thinking about it, this week was actually kinda crazy for me.  On Friday, Elder Price texted our group chat saying that he was leaving the MTC.  In class his companion Elder Sanford said, " So who is my companion now?", and I told him that me and Elder Stockwell could adopt him, so we did!  I was in a trio!  Sadly it only lasted for a day.  My companion Elder Stockwell was really struggling, we would be on facetime for long periods of time  just talking about how we could help him get through th...
