MTC . . . WEEK 7

SEPTEMBER 19, 2017

Nyob zoo. So I've now been at the MTC for 7 weeks, and I leave 2 weeks from today. According to google maps, I could have walked to Roseville and then back to the MTC 3 times. Or, if I would have found a bike the first day of the MTC, I could have biked to Roseville and back 12 times... but that's besides the point, I'll be there soon enough. Even though I've been at the MTC forever though, I don't think I would trade it. We've heard from 4 apostles, with a 5th coming tonight, and I've learned so much.

One thing that I've really wanted to do while being at the MTC is strengthen my personal testimony of Jesus Christ. After all, my purpose for the next 2 years is to invite others to come unto Christ. So two things that I've learned here: first is to have a goal. Come up with a righteous goal that you want to achieve in the future, pray about it, and then decide how to achieve that goal. For me, it was learning about Christ, it may be different for you. 

Then, you act on that goal. Some of the suggestions given by speakers and apostles are these: I set a reminder on my tablet to go off at important times throughout the day to remind me of the Savior and my goal. You can't accomplish a goal if you don't remember what it is and why you want to achieve it. Then, I studied the Book of Mormon, looking specifically for types and shadows of Christ, the character of Christ, the life of Christ, and the Gospel of Jesus Christ. By doing these things, my testimony that Jesus is the Christ and my Savior has grown so much more than I ever could have thought.
So I invite you to think of something you want to accomplish, pray about it, write it down, and follow through on that goal. 

... So in other news I'm still going to class every day. And each week is the same schedule. Everyday is a little different, but there's dejavu everyday. Like edge of tomorrow, with Tom Cruise... except no aliens here. And no cool fighting scenes. Just fighting for the salvation of souls. 

Nothing much else to report on about my schedule or life. Hmong is coming along, its still super hard, but I think I'm improving everyday. Still making lots of mistakes. 

Love you all, remember the Savior.
