Well, I didn't think I'd be emailing so soon but so much has happened in the past four days of Online MTC. I've created so many friendships with all the Elders and Sisters in my district. Each day I learn so so much from my peers and my teachers. And also MTC has been so fun at home with my family because after all my meetings and classes I get to go and tell my sisters and my parents about it, and it really has made me so happy to share that with them.
My companion is a stud! We have so much in common and he has a deep testimony in his savior, he knows how to explain the gospel in like 5 minutes and still have it be conversion worthy. Companion study has been so fun with him and every word we share it just invites the spirit and we can both feel that spirit so strongly. The room I'm doing MTC in is like a bubble of just "SPIRIT!" It's awesome. I can tell the difference between being downstairs in my kitchen listening to my sisters ramble about school and then I come up to this room to do MTC and I walk in and can feel relaxed and feel peace. Maybe it's because there's no arguing in this room and maybe I should talk to my sisters about being more kind and that contention is of the devil hahaha.
I don't really have that much else to talk about other than I didn't know that staring at a screen makes me more exhausted than just walking around. As much as i love the Online MTC experience, i can't wait to actually get to the MTC and meet my companion in person and walk around and see hundreds and hundreds of missionaries and get to experience that immense amount of power from god, all of us called to serve with one purpose, love, share, and invite.
I'll end with my testimony based on what I've been learning in class. God loves us all, he wants a relationship with all of us, so much so that he gave his only begotten son to die for us so that we have the chance to build that relationship and return to his presence. I'm called by God to serve him and to represent his church and give the opportunity to those who are "poor in spirit" to become "rich in spirit." Christ lives and is central to the plan of happiness and if we cleave unto him, we can be changed by him and have the power to cast off evil and stand faithful in these trying times. I testify of these things in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen
Also check out how cool my district is...
Elder Milius was able to assist his Papa, Fred Woods in administering a priesthood blessing to his
Aunt, Taylor Woods while serving in home MTC. This was a special experience for all involved.
God knows and loves all His children and is aware of each of our needs.
