I have now been in the MTC a month and am on the downhill stretch! A little less than a month left and I will be headed to China. Honestly, the thought of leaving sounds crazy and although I want to leave I know I am not ready too. I have lots more to learn before I can even think about China. I am grateful for the MTC and the things that I have learned here.
This Sunday was one of the best days I have had here. The lessons that were taught and the spirit was so strong. Our branch president talked about how we would not compare our Mandarin to his (he's a native speaker), but we will compare it to our companions or someone who is in our district. He talked about how his younger brother is now a multi millionaire and he is not. He would not compare himself to Steve Jobs or Phil Knight, but he would compare himself to his brother. Any comparisons we may make is prideful on our part. Any comparisons we make only bring discouragement. Be happy with who you are and who you have become this week :)
As I have been here at the MTC my testimony of the Book of Mormon and the prophet Joseph Smith has grown immensely. I feel extremely blessed to be able to have this book and learn from the teachings. We can receive an immense amount of revelation from it, but it could also just bring joy on days when we are feeling sad because it is the word of God. It testifies of Christ and the fact that He lives! I would invite all of you to watch this video and think about how the book of Mormon can or has helped you. This book contains all the answers to lifes problems :)
Something funny that I said this week. As we were talking about how in heaven we will be able to see the "famous" people of the past and I was trying to add something to the conversation like I cared about meeting historians and said "yeah I cant wait to meet Emma Frank". Should have just not said anything hahaha.
