First Week

Hola Everybody!

 

That is so exciting that Meg had the baby, and I am glad to hear that everything is going well with that now, send me a picture of him or something ok? Well, this first week  in the Mtc has been so Awesome! I have seen all of my buddies and I live right by Elder Montgomery and we have the same gym time, so it has been fun ballin him up. My companero is a gringo from cali, he is a tall skinny, cross country runner. Today me and him went running and I thought i was in shape but he kind of kicked my butt, not too bad though of course Ha!

 

Our district is way cool and we have a lot of fun together. We are all trying to learn the languange and it is coming a long pretty well. There is such an incredible spirit here in the mtc, it is filled with a bunch of missionaries that just want to learn and be the best missionaries that we can be. We have devotionals every sunday and tuesday nights and they are very spiritual and we learn a lot from them. On Tuesday Elder Gerald Lund came and talked to us. He is the guy that wrote the work and the glory. He talked to us about faith and said that Faith is hoping and acting on something without having evidence on what will happen. He said to Act without seeing and we will see; act without knowing and we will know. So I really liked that and have been trying to do that. At the Devo me and my district sang in the choir and that was really cool and very spiritual especially when there are 1800 elders and hermanas singing at the same time!

 

Our branch presidency is really great too. They have all been mission presidents so they have a lot of knowledge about the missions. On sunday President Craig talked about the atonement and how Jesus Christ went through all of that for each one of us personally and the spirit was so strong when he was talking.

 

We have started teaching in investigator named Hugo ( aka our teacher Hermano Sparks) its pretty tough because i dont know any spanish so I just memorize everything and when he asks me a question i just shake my head and say Si ha but really the spanish is coming a long pretty good and it is way fun teaching him. I just cant wait until it is real people out in the dominican republic, I cant wait to go and share the gospel with them because it is so true and using the atonement of Jesus Christ is the only way to return to our father in heaven. I love you all and the Gospel is True!

 

Love Elder Wadman
