Well just to start out, we have devotionals every sunday and tuesday night. So we have had a couple guys from the seventy come and after five weeks of people telling me someone from the quorum was going to come and no one did, i didnt believe they would. Anyways, they never tell you who is coming to speak either it is always kind of a suprise. So on tuesday night, before the devotional they came out and told us if someone from the quorum of the twelve were to walk in then we would all need to stand up, so we were like oh no way! And then in walked Elder Holland! And he spoke to us. It was such a great talk, he went 30 minutes over and I didnt even notice. When he finished we had a special music number and the spirit was felt so strong throughout the whole entire assembly hall. I have never heard that place so quiet, everyone there was just soaking it all in. I thought to myself how cool it was that everybody in this room of 2000 people were feeling the spirit that much. It was one of the coolest experiences that I have had in the MTC.
At the end of Elder Holland's talk he answered questions and one of the questions was, what is the best way to invite the spirit into our lives? Elder Holland gave us 3 things, he said first is to "dive into the scriptures, pouring your whole heart into feasting upon the words of God. The scriptures are not of man but of God and we literally are hearing the word of God, it is in the scriptures." 2nd he said to pray completely and sincerly and really talk to your heavenly father, he talked about enos and how he Wrestled with God and his soul Hungered, and he cried all day and all night to God. So he told us to really think about our prayers. 3rd he said once you have the spirit do not lose it. Don't go anywhere the spirit can't go, dont say or do anything where the spirit will have to say, Im sorry but have to go. So that was really cool, and I have been working on that.
Also everything is going good hear the spanish is still coming along. In one of my lessons i said Podemos empezar con una oracion? which means can we start with a prayer. But we were outside and it was kind of noisy. and my teacher, which is a girl, and she thought i said Podemos Besar? which means can we kiss... she broke character and started laughing, so did my companion so it was a great way to start our lesson. Other than that things are rolling, and it feels like time is flying bye right now. Thats good to hear that the 2nd crop is finished or almost finished. And hopefully the empty nest isn't too bad without meagan and tyler there now. Anyways the gospel is so awesome! and so true, Christ lives and He loves us. I love you all.
Love Elder Wadman
