how in the heck are you all? question, what is stephanie's address? and how did i get so lucky to have such an awesome family?
the work in the mtc is going very well so far, the African's are my kind of people in every sense of the word. oh man, i love them, they walk to the beat of their own drum. it is funny that you said the Lord knew what he was doing when he sent me here, i laughed because you have no idea how true that is! wow, i love it. my companion and i had the chance to do a little bit of teaching yesterday... the first lesson we did turned out HORRIBLE for lack of a better term. i decided to go against the spirit and teach the plan of salvation when all he wanted to know was what made our church different than others. my poor companion, she is a lot more soft spoken than i am so sometimes i play the big bully on the playground and i don't let her talk. we didn't really ckilck on that (good one sister blum). we had a good chat about it and the next two lessons were awesome.
today we got to go to the mall, we got to meet real people! one of the other sisters and i gave a pass along card to a person and we talked to him a lot about what he believes and gave him a little information about how we have the fulness of the gospel that existed when Christ was on the earth. his imediate conversion is not likely, but the lord works in mysterious ways sometimes.
anyway, i am working hard and i learn a lot every day. the Spirit is strong in this MTC. i challenge you to learn as much as you can of the atonement. it will change the way you look at the gospel in every sense of the word!
