Group email week 2.

Hey guys,

Well, another week has passed here at the MTC. It has been really cool to learn how simple the Gospel of Jesus Christ really is and yet how profound it is at the same time.

 

This week was really cool. I had to say goodbye to some of my friends in our zone as they were heading off to their missions. That was sad but I know that they are going to be great missionaries wherever they serve.

 

I had the opportunity to go to the temple again today. I love going to the temple because I feel the spirit more strongly then than at any other time. I would encourage all of you to go to the temple if you get the chance.

 

One of the coolest things this week is that we had Elder Gerritt W. Gong came to speak to us at the Tuesday night devotional. He talked about 4 things that we should be excited to share every day as a missionary. One thing that impressed me is that we are not only called to teach investigators, but maybe to impact our companion or gain a relationship with our mission president. Then later that night, I got to shake Elder Gong's hand. That was cool and I can testify that he is called God.

 

I have also learned a lot about how to be a better missionary. The lessons I teach now versus the beginning of my MTC experience have greatly increased. The Lord helps those who he calls to the work. I know he has done that for me.

 

That's about it for this week. I leave on Wednesday for Florida so I don't know when I will get to email again so this is goodbye until then.

 

Have a great week.

 

Elder Beard
