Week 3 - August 18, 2017
Well it was the last full week at the MTC today. It's been another awesome
week! To start off I got to see Kastle my HEFY counselor at the MTC tour
and that was awesome! Along with that we have been teaching some more
investigators here. Me and my companion teach four right now, and have
two committed to baptism! So I leave on Wednesday to go to Philadelphia at 3:30am...yeet.
Some other awesome stuff that has been happening is we've had TWO other
apostles come to the MTC to talk to us! We had M. Russell Ballard, and
Neil L Anderson come! So awesome!! Also my district has been able to go
to the teaching center and teach people all over the world either on the
phone or though online chatting. Dang there was some FUNNY stuff that
happened in there! We had one person who said we were a false religion
because Mormons believe that you need to follow the example of Jesus
Christ by serving people and doing what he would do. This person said
that you don't have to do anything, but you can just do whatever you
want in this life, and be saved in the next life...I mean that is
probably the worst argument I've ever heard. Then this other person came
online and said the devil was coming into his dreams and trying to beat
him in a game of chess, I told him that I could pray for him over the
chat, and he said that if I did that I would be possessed to. Then I had
to explain the evil can't be in the presence of Christ, and he still
wouldn't believe us, and eventually just left. There are so many other
awesome ones like that! These weeks at the MTC have made my testimony of
this gospel so much stronger. I know Christ died for our sins, and that
all we have to do is follow his example and repent through his
atonement so we can live with God again. This gospel is true, and I'll
say that 'till the day I die, I see the change it brings to people I've
taught, and the way it affects my life. No amount of convincing people
try to do against this church can change that because I already KNOW
it's true, and I want everyone to know that. That's why I'm on this
mission!! Also, me and Ethan White (Elder White) get to Philly the same
day! Can't wait to see that dude, we gots lots to catch up on! I miss
y'all.
