HALFWAY THERE . . . WEEK 5

SEPTEMBER 5, 2017

Hello friends and family!!! I hope everyone is doing well. So update, I'm still at the MTC... but last Saturday was my halfway mark till I get to go to California! So that's exciting! Last week I turned 19, and the other Elder in my room turned 19 on the same day! we had as much of a party as you can at the MTC haha. 

The Hmong is coming along, but still kind of slow. I think yesterday was my breakthrough though. We teach investigators (who are actually just our teachers acting) pretty much everyday. So yesterday we taught Lus Yang about how Christ will help him overcome his smoking problem. It was a great lesson, and for probably the first time Elder Tayler and I were able to teach a lesson and get to know him and make small talk without using a script or language books or anything! The Gift of Tongues is real, I couldn't learn Hmong without it.

In other news, half of our zone left two days ago, so now the residence is really empty. Despite that though, the lines for dinner are still incredibly long haha. After BYU games, the cafeteria serves all of the leftover cougar tails (huge maple bars) and lemme tell ya, there were a lot. The new buildings at the MTC are sooooo nice, and there are some awesome study rooms with some sweet views. 

One thing that I have really learned the past few weeks is the power of the Book of Mormon in answering questions. Elder Tayler and I taught a lesson about how the Book of Mormon can answer questions, and we came up with a lot of temporal questions, and looked in the Book of Mormon for scriptures and stories that would answer these questions.... and wow. I can truly testify of the power of the Book of Mormon in answering ANY worthwhile question, spiritual, temporal, or otherwise, so long as you diligently study and pray to God. 

Tiag Tiag,
