This Week in the MTC
This week has been really good. the flu is still around but they have it mostly quarntined. everyone is alowed to leave on there departure dates now so we shouldn't get held back. missionaries that are coming in aren't allowed to to bring there families inside still. i'm not sure for how much longer they will be doing that. I'm probably going to be heading out in two weeks but i'm not totally positive on that yet. we're still waiting for our flight plans.

We had Elder Bednar come last night at the Tuesday Divotional. He gave an amazing talk on how to recognize the Spirit. he said that he is asked alot how we know if it's the spirit or if it's just my thoughts that i'm hearing. he's answer was awesome. he said,"STOP WORRYING ABOUT IT!!! be a good boy and girl! remember to always keep your covenants and get up and move! The Lord will guide your steps." he went on to talk about how even if it's just a thought go with it and see what happens. but the key is keep moving. don't sit and wait for the Holy Ghost to tell you to move. he won't tell you till you move and then listen. but the main thing is to stop worrying about it.

i was wondering alot about this when i first came to the mtc and he totally answered my question. he also told us some pretty funny stories about when he was on his mission and some funny things that President Hinckley said to him. it was an awesome talk.

so i tried to call Danny yesterday but he didn't answer. i think he is having surgery. he told me that he was going to have surgery and i think it was this week that he said he was. but i called Bob back and asked him if he prayed about the Book of Mormon and he said he did but didn't feel anything. he kept going on about all these ramdom facts about hebrew and nothing really important. i finally just bore my testimony and said good buy. i felt rude but but my Teacher told me that it wasn't rude. i needed to do that so i can spened my time sharing the message with people who are willing to listen. i learned a really good lesson that day. i love that Gospel!
