This week has been amazing. I've been learning so much. The biggest thing I've been focusing on is the Character of Christ. Elder Bednar came and spoke and he said how to know how to have the Character of Christ you have to learn that you are nothing without Christ. I've been focusing on this and trying to have the Character of Christ. I've been praying so much for that and its helped me draw nearer to Christ so much. I'm reading the Book of Mormon over again and just highlighting everything that has to do with the Character of Christ and its been such a testimony builder. Another amazing experience is I grew close with an Elder named Elder Morrow and he told me that I've helped him out so much on and have been a huge example to him, and that I'm so in tune with the spirit. He expressed how grateful he was for me and how much he looked up to me. He sad that every time he felt sad or down that I always hugged him or did something right when he needed it. I had no idea that I was doing that for him, but its such a humbling experience to see how if I follow the spirit it can touch others lives. When he told me that I was about to cry. I've been able to feel the spirit so much more and I've been growing so close to our heavenly father. I love the MTC and all the Elders in my zone. My companion is such a great example and an amazing missionary. Hes extremely funny too. My favorite Elder besides him is Elder Fotu. Hes my favorite guy that I've met here. Its weird we both feel like we knew each other in the pre-mortal life. Its so cool and sad because hes not going to my mission haha. I leave on Monday at 3:30 in the morning its going to suck, but I'm so excited but nervous at the same time to get out in the field. This mission is the best decision I've ever made, and I'm so grateful for the chance to serve the lord. Love you and miss you all so much! I've been praying everyday for everyone and I hope everything is going okay! I would love to get updates on everything from all of you!
