Prophets & Apostles

Just yesterday Elder Bednar came!!!!  It was so amazing and before there was so much hype around it and everyone was saying how special it was going to be so we better be on time and on our best behavior.

Well they were right.  As soon as he walked in it was just crazy the spirit that followed with him.  There is just no denying that He is called of God.  That he is an apostle of the Lord.  It was a huge blessing for him to come.

His main message was that the talks we heard at conference are scripture and we should be treating them like scripture.  We should be studying and re-studying the conference talks.  He promised that if we do study them the Lord will be present.  So if anyone is having a bad day just pick up a conference talk and start reading and you will feel the Lords spirit and love while reading!  He also mentioned that when those with priesthood keys give an invitation and then a promise, the promises are sure.  So, get to reading the conference talks! :)

One of the great things about being at the MTC is that we are able to go to the temple every p-day.  The temple is such an amazing place and the place where the Lords spirit truly resides.  It is the Lords house.  We are blessed to have temples on the Earth!

So Elder Youse in my district has "conditioned" me (it is some word in psychology).  Because he always says cat like reflexes and then throws me a ball so now evertime he says catlike reflexes I sit up and freak out and look for a ball even though most times he never has one.  Anyways he think it is hillarious and tells just about everyone.

Things are finally starting to look up language wise.  Me and Chen Jiemei were able to teach a lesson simply and our investigator actually understood the gosple principle.  He also said that he could feel the spirit.  It was one of the first lessons that we walked out feeling great about and that we could actually do this!  It was such a nice feeling and now I am excited to teach again.. hopefully it goes just as good.

Well that's it for now.  It is funny because the longer you are at the MTC the funnier and weirder you get.  Like we laugh at the weirdest things and think things are so funny!  Like we now teach to pictures of people the gospel and crack up.  We find so much humor in it.  But that is what we find fun here at the MTC and I guess that means that we are definitely missionaries :)
