2nd Week of the MTC

Family -

Elder Moss in class
The week here has had its ups and downs. Lots of studying in the classroom! But the Spanish is coming along. Not as quickly as I'd hoped but it's still doing great! The District is doing awesome! Lots of them are progressing tremendously in Spanish and in Testimony of Christ. I think about them all the time praying for them that I can help each Elder come unto Christ.

I forgot my journal and I am trying to remember everything that has happened this week. It's cool here at the MTC because we can do a "street contact" since we are all Spanish speakers they put Spanish speaking people around the campus and we can go try to contact and teach them. Also every night Elders practice teaching to Members in the area that speak Spanish. There are so many miracles and all the days seem like a blur so it's hard to recall all of them. But one of the nights that stood out to me this week would be Tuesday Night.  We had a devotional from Elder Clarke of the seventy. The spirit was so strong, I couldn't stop crying at the end. (I'm not much of a crier at all so I don't know what got into me).  Elder Clarke talked about our purpose as a missionary and it's not to get people to be baptized. It is more than that. We are here so that they will come unto Christ and endure to the end. Baptism is just a step to salvation and we should be focused on getting families to the temple to get sealed for time and all eternity. Later that night we had a District Meeting where we each shared something we liked from that night's devotional. It was the greatest night here so far. Hearing the testimonies from the other Elders was amazing. They all have the biggest love for Christ and want to share His Gospel with others.

I know that Christ lives. That He suffered for each and everyone of us in Gethsemane. I know that we can make it back to live with God again through the atonement. I Love my Savior and know that the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints IS the restored gospel on todays earth. That Christ is over the church and Thomas S. Monson is the prophet today. I know with out a doubt that the Book of Mormon was translated by Joseph Smith and it is the word of God. I know this all to be true in the name of Jesus Christ Amen
