Alright so this week sense there hasn’t been much success with the emails getting through in the past, or something like that, im going to kind of give an overview of things that have happened here.

So the first few days seemed to go on forever sense i was learning all these new things and had to adjust to so much! but to be honest this past month has gone by so crazy fast its wierd. the days are long but the weeks are short it seems like. so christmas in the mtc was such a great experience and im glad i got to be here for it. they had some great speakers come and they had movies and a talent show that was funny and great. other than that every day is pretty much the same thing except there have been some amazing speakers from the general authorities and some little things here and there. every speaker that has come has been just awesome.

A couple of the things that ive learned while here just in the past month:

1. There isn’t much you can do for yourself or your investigators to help them grow closer to christ unless you are teaching and testifying with the spirit. it just doesn’t seem to work out any other way.
2. People are amazing, we all have had our different trials and experiences that allow us to teach to specific needs of others.
3. This church is absolutely true without a doubt, everything that has gone on this past month has been proof of that. every missionary ive seen come and go (mostly because im here for an eternity…. 😉 ) has such a strong testimony and has had this gospel change their life in one way or another and im so greatful for that.

I hope all is well for you at home and at least some of you write me back! its hard to write everyone back but i promise i will get you all eventually! love you all and the amazing examples you are to me!

Hey dad!

i don’t have much time with all these emails and such going on but i am loving the MTC and all that goes on here. they are teaching me so much and its only the fifth day. i am stoked for the christmas program they will have for us! …

Hey Everyone!

sorry just trying to figure out this whole group email thing but thats all good! so this week i was made district leader and pretty much that doesn’t mean a whole lot in the mtc but still its really cool and fun to actually! so basically the mission is the greatest thing. they feed us like no ones buisiness and the spirit you feel here is amazing!! i really don’t know what else to put on here to be honest. every day is the same things here in the MTC. the older district is leaving today which is really sad they have become pretty much like a family while ive been here but i still have my district which is just as tight. you grow to love the people you are called to serve with and for and i can’t imagine how its going to get even better in the mission field! oh speaking of, i might be getting a transfer in states for a couple weeks to months because the visas in taiwan are hard to get because they changed their forms for them or something like that which is kinda dumb but its all good either way. ill go where ever im needed or called, cuz thats what missionaries do 🙂 so yeah thats this past couple weeks in a nutshell. im out of time but ill try and write more next time!

Yeah I’m having an awesome time for sure and I’m loving it! i hope you guys have a good first day and that you enjoy it! I’m sure it will be good and you will continue to have good experiences even at the new school. The language is coming faster than i thought it would, d, not close to fluent but still I’m confident that it’ll only get better from here. i passed what i learned in school in the first day here they teach so fast and you learn so fast too. i love it.  We got to go to the temple for the first time today since we’ve gotten here since it’s been closed every other week because of holiday.  I’m excited for this opportunity and to see how ill grow! I love you all and I’ll keep you updated!
