Week 1

Hello!

The MTC is incredible!  The spirit is really strong all the time!!  I got here and was getting yelled at in Cambodian ten minutes later!  it was insane!  My companions name is Elder Hinds, he went to lone peak.  We're basically exactly the same with our personality and sense of humor!  We've had so many awesome spiritual experiences!!  Especially the talk by  Elder Bednar yesterday!  Right when it was done I stood up and yelled "Alright! Now I need to go baptize someone!"  It was awesome, and me and my companion went back to our room and planned out three lessons for our investigator!  Speaking of that, our first lesson was awful.  We went in knowing barely any Cambodian, and taught her who God and Jesus Christ are.  I guess she's not a real investigator, but she's a dang convincing actor.  We accidentally told her that we were Jesus Christ and that we were her sons, so she was pretty confused, but she let us set up another appointment, so we must have said at least one true thing!! The second lesson was awesome, the spirit was so strong!  We taught her abut how Jesus Christ and God love her so much, and we got her to pray at the end!  She had a couple questions that we had to look up answers for and how to say it, but it was good!!!  Cambodian literally is the hardest thing I've ever had to learn.  Good thing we're praying a lot, cause we need it.  All the people in my district are super fun, we play volleyball a lot and go walk around the temple. There are three sisters and six elders.  I saw Mitchell Nielsen, Devan Van Dyke, Josh Leigh, Harris LaChance, Josh Barney, Luke Kirby, and Braden Jepson.  It's so awesome!!!

The MTC is amazing!!!  I love everything here!! Except the class time where we sit in the classroom for 14 hours, that part gets old.  But I learn a ton of Cambodian there, so it's ok!
