Good Morning/Night/Afternoon Everyone! MTC is still awesome! I'm still doing great! So my week this week was pretty good I'll start with Tuesday.
Tuesday last week we went to the temple for the last time for 5 weeks! I'm way upset about that, but the temple is going to be closed for some good reason I'm sure, but last week for my temple visit My good friend Haraguchi Choro brought a family name to the temple so that he could get it done! It was his grandpa's name that he had! We talked to the temple people about getting it done that day since that was his last day at the temple here in Provo, so I helped him out with the communication with the temple workers and we got his grandpa baptized, confirmed, initiatory'd, and then finally did the endownment session! It was so awesome, and the temple people were so friendly and helpful! I felt pretty awesome too, just knowing that I helped Haraguchi choro help his grandpa! So that was great! Then the Devotional for that night was Bro. Hallstrom from the presidency of the quorum of the seventy and he talked about being a convenant people. We are all convenant keepers and we should be that way all our lives. Any promise we make with God or our fellow man we should be a covenant keeper. Something that I got out of the talk, that he didn't really mension at all, was that in order to know what the spirit feels like you need to know yourself. Cause the spirit and your own thoughts are most of the time really hard to tell the difference, but if you know yourself and your thoughts down to the pinpoint then it will be easier to tell when the spirit is talking to you or when you are just thinking...So that's something that I've been meaning to work on while I'm here.
Wednesday, Not much happened, me and Elder Shaw and the whole district, I guess, is trying to memorize the 1st vision in Japanese and I think I've got it memorized by right now! Umm...the Sempai (Older group) are leaving soon so we will be able to concentrate better! They were awesome, but they were really distracting...haha, we are all sad that they are gone now, and I'm especially sad that the Nihonjin are gone!
Thursday, we taught at the TRC (Teaching Resource Center) we taught our last english lesson on the plan of salvation. Now it's all going to be Japanese teaching from now on, which I'm stoked for!!!
Friday, friday was a great day cause I got to give a blessing to one of the sisters in our district. She had a pretty bad fall the night before and was going to go to the on campus doctor and she wanted to get a blessing before she went, so me and Elder Shaw gave her one. One thing I learned from the expirence is to be prepared! Of course we are in the MTC and EVERYONE has some oil, but we just so happened to not have any and it made me think a little bit about how we need to be prepared at all times! So after the blessing we went to the bookstore strait away and got some oil and blessed it so now we are prepared! But the blessing was great too!
Saturday, 1 month aniversery!!! Woo! Yeah that's pretty much it. And me and Elder Shaw planned a lesson on virtue for Sunday!
Sunday was great as always! We got to watch the Japanese Regional Conference and it had footage of the MTC and our Japanese district! It was all about getting more Japanese missionaries, and all of our Nihonjin are famous in Japan now! So I know some famous people! haha...Too bad I wasnt in the footage but all the same I was right there when they were talking footage of it! We also said a bunch of Goodbyes that day and took pictures of everyone! The Sempai and the Nihonjin we all took pictures and stuff, so I got a bunch of pictures of that but I cant really post them cause I dont have anything to do it with...We also had a fireside on Remembrance and how remembering the promises we made in the past can give us comfort for the future. When times seem rough just remember! And for all of you that know Mendoza Choro, I saw him on Sunday and talked with him a little bit! He's doing great! Russian is a ridiculous language in my opinion, but he's loving it! haha...
Monday we had our LGM on Faith and how faith is the key to a higher law. We talked about how miracles arn't really as weird and bizzare as we think them to be. Miracles are just the natural laws of God taking thier course! It was an interesting lesson as is always! I love the MTC and all the advantages it has! We can really grow stronger in teaching people as well as our own testimonies here. I know I have grown so much from coming here! The Japanese language wasn't hard to begin with but I can really tell how much the spirit helps! I have been memorizing stuff like its nothing and words just start to come to me! Its amazing here! Minnasan Aishiteimasu! I with see you all later! Sorry about any misspellings...
