MTC Day 5
We had an awesome day today. Sundays are really a day of rest here … minus all the meetings. Elder McDowell was called as District Leader – that only surprised him. We had meetings about the temple and music. We spent much time with the Sisters in the meetings. We went to choir and say…

MTC Day 4
Today has been a spiritual high. Elder Lines was able to come to class today. In only one day in class he has felt that he doesn’t belong with the rest of us. He feels inferior. The rest of the district is fasting for him. He feels a little better now as other missionaries have…

MTC Day 3
We were on a regular missionary schedule today, except for Elder Lines being sick. We were also on fire with the Spirit. Last night Elder Hall distributed notes about Quiet Dignity to all the doors in our hall, and it was much better. I think he is planning to do similar notes every night all…

MTC Day 2
Today again has not been a regular missionary schedule. I expect that tomorrow will be. I need to make sure to edit the Shangri La picture of the MTC that I sent in the letter to Carl. Elder McDowell and I were shocked to hear cursing in the MTC. We have been instructed not to…

I can’t wait to go again. I performed Baptisms for the dead with the group later in the day. (The Jared,…

I walked in tonight and my roommate decided to interrogate me on some “crazy love life” that he dreamed up. Ken called. It was a good day. I can’t wait for tomorrow. I hope that it goes as well as today. I hope my alarm works. Jared’s calculator was stolen. That’s bad. Try again tomorrow…

Even more confused than yesterday. I missed my first two classes. I need to be careful of temptation. Sara told me that Phil will be getting his wisdom teeth out so he won’t be there for my call, but she will. Cool. Time to unconfuse myself.

Today has been confusing. It has kind of been a blur. It is late and I must get up in the morning. (What am I hiding?)
