Howdy everyone! Life is still crazy in the MTC, despite how repetitive it can get. Time also flys by in the MTC. I leave in just under 3 weeks now, and it’s insane. I’m super excited to get there and start with the real work, I just hope I’m prepared!
I’ve been spending a lot of time this week studying the language, because tomorrow morning my companions and I get to Skype in and talk to members of the Church in the Czech Republic. It’ll be our first real time getting to know and speak to native Czech speakers, and we are all very excited for the opportunity.
Sestra Lewis’s family made our entire district matching shirts. That means that our entire district (all 9 of us) now has 2 matching shirts, which isn’t an obscene amount, but it’s still enough to be notable. I’ll send a photo of all us wearing our shirts later today, along with some other pictures.
I was reading in the Book of Mormon this week, and read Ether 12:4, which says “Wherefore, whoso believeth in God might with surety hope for a better world, yea, even a place at the right hand of God, which hope cometh of faith, maketh an anchor to the souls of men, which would make them sure and steadfast, always abounding in good works, being led to glorify God” I love this verse, and I can testify that the knowledge I have about the gospel truly does bring a hope into my life that I couldn’t have otherwise. I’m grateful for the opportunity I have to share this message of hope with so many other people.
