First week at the MTC: September 9, 2015

Hi everyone. Holy cow it has been a week of ups and downs. England is absolutely amazing and beautiful. Our MTC only has about 60 missionaries in it so it's really nice that I can actually breath. Pardon my english if it sounds funny but i've been talking german non stop to my other german friends for the past 7 days. I am currently not learning German because I am on the two week track to leave for Berlin. I guess they thought I was good in German. The people I am with are all from Germany except for my companion who is from Austria. I am abbolultely loving the MTC.


During my first week at the MTC it has been a Roller Coaster. I have had my good days and I have had my very bad days. During our role play time I have to teach it all in German. And during our TRC visits I also have to teach it all in German. The hardest part is learning Gospel words, I was never taught that in school and so learning them is quite difficult. In my time here I have already started to think in German but I have yet to have a dream in German. I say prayers in German even though I can only say like 5 things. In otherwords German is still a hard language for me but every day I am getting a little better and eventually I will be speaking fluently (can't wait)

My spiritual thought for the day: Whenever we go down to exercises in the gym one of our Chef's, Steven, is always belting out whatever music he is listening to. Some days it ranges from lion king, to MOTAB choir. Usually the whole MTC can hear him singing. It always brings a smile to all of our faces and brightens our day a little. He is never nervous that everyone will hear him he belts it as loud as he can. So how does this relate to the gospel. Sometimes it can be very difficult to stand for what's right in the church or share what our beliefs are. Friends and Family...SING!!!!!!!! There is no reason to be afraid of belting out what we believe to be true in this church. We should be sharing gospel truths to everyone that can hear. Even if we think it's scary or frightening to share what we believe to be true.

I  am so excited to go to Berlin and can't wait to get out and sing what I believe to be true and that has brought so much hapiness to many others lives. The Church of Jesus Christ of latter day saints is the most true church on the earth today. The book of Mormon is true, the gospel of Jesus Christ is true.

Viel Dank.
Bis DANN
Tchus.
