The fact that I am starting my fourth week in the MTC is honestly mind blowing. I feel like everyday I feel more and more blessings and am really becoming a better missionary everyday. Thank you so much for all the love and support. It just feels like I have an army behind me while I'm out here doing this work and I love it. Thanks also to everyone who has wrote me this week. I love hearing from you guys and just know if I can't get back to you guys personally that I love you all so much. The Temple is closed again this week for stupid Pioneer day(stupid Utah) so we don't get to go. But that means I'll probably be on email alot so if you email me today I can probably get back to you!
So this week was another great week in the MTC. We will start with last Saturday. The day after P-day always seems to go sooooo slow and I'm not really sure why. I guess it's kind of like the missionary version of a Monday. So ya while I'm in the MTC my Monday is your guy's Saturday... weird right? Haha so for a part of our day we were literally so bored, and we just needed something to do. SO we created a new missionary game called "thirty second draw off." Basically you and whoever you're facing get a topic and get thirty seconds to draw it and the class votes for a winner. We did this blindfolded and non-blindfolded. We got so competitive with it and even made brackets. haha We're such dweebs, but we have fun.

The MTC is literally six weeks of finding your personal flaws, so sometimes it's kind of hard. But to try to make myself better I've set so many goals while I've been here. My biggest one is to become more spiritually knowledgeable. I'm really trying to finish the Book of Mormon before I leave so I can have a better grasp on the stories and scriptures in it. Wow this has blessed me so much and I can truly feel my mind open to the scriptures that I am reading, I know that if you read everyday whether it be a verse or a chapter, you will be so blessed.
Sunday was another good day not too much happened. We did try to duck tape a kid to the wall in our dorm but it didn't work so that's a real bummer. haha. Oh and he was willing. We weren't bullying. hahaha

Monday we had the opportunity in class to share a scripture that has helped our testimony grow here in the MTC. Mine was 2 Nephi 28:30. I came across this scripture when I was overwhelmed at how much I didn't know, but it showed me that the Lord gives us things, "line upon line, precept upon precept." He doesn't expect us all to learn everything all at once, just as long as we are striving to be better everyday. That's the important thing.
Tuesday we had a devotional and they told us that there are 1997 missionaries here in the Provo MTC right now. (just 3 short of the 2000 stripling warriors) But it's so cool being here with a force of this many missionaries. The spirit here is just unreal, because we are truly headed out to change the world. Wednesday and Thursday were both good days. Nothing too special to share from them though. I just love the work I'm doing and know that what I'm doing is right.
