O My gosh!!!! I LOVE THIS!!! this is honestly so cool, its like spiritual summer camp withought the blob...instead you study so much! too the point where im starting to fall asleep in 45 seconds prayers i havent fell asleep in class yet because there so much infor to catch up on. I wish i wouldve been studying this before. The spirit here is so intense i havent felt it like this before its awesome. My companion is Elder Comfort, great last name huh? He is from Canada, hes a celebrity here. When i first saw him i said, o man this elder is going to be a tool, he had the fo hawk and dressed really nice. But now me and him are best friends since wednesday afternoon. I know god gave me him as a friend as a companion so that this MTC expirience not so bad. We study together and get really deep with each other i have talked to him about stuff I havent even talked to my friends at home about. The food isnt awesome but its better than rosemary chicken. Im rooming with a surfer dude from hawaii also and every night we talk about everything that enlightens us each day.. "he told me never mistake beauty for glamour" and also that i have the power to change a mans heart just by looking at them...is that gay? i dunno but it made me happy haha.
My knowledge and testimony are going through the roof i feel as though i am getting revalation through god. But i just want to tell you about the most spiritual moment for me so far. We watch a movie, The lesson i learned as a boy.. By Gordon B. Hinckley. watch it. after you watch then read this next part.
while watching this film I just couldnt hold in the tears and everyon in my district couldnt either. He touched me stronger than anything ever has. I really felt the importance of Jesus Christ and the atonement After the movie we all just broke down and i was the first to say something. I said that i was always the kid playing pranks and i wouldve hid the mans shoes. and I paused and thought that i was only thinking of pleasing my self...i paused again and started crying and said I dont think i have ever done anything nice like that for someone else and i just felt like crap and like Ive done nothing for anyone and jesus christ has done everything for everyone. Then everyone in our district just got so deep with each other and the spirit was overwhelming. And elder Willcock the kid who want to go home in our district who never says anything and doesnt do anything Said, " We can start now becoming and trying to be like the savior" and i could see it change in him that he wanted to start working. willcock hasnt smiled hardly at all. are whole zone prayed for him because he was homesick. And the next day he smiled all day. i asked what had changed he said he woke up and was just HAPPY. Pray is answered and i witnessed that first hand. The most important thing is love... show this to everyone and you can never go wrong. I love everyone, i miss everyone. But Im gunna be honest this is better than Home haha and i tell everyone here that. thanks for the prayers. little ones stand strong! ETTE TAAT
