We'll it would seem that my Email time while at the MTC is on Saturday, so the next Email will be on well, Saturday but after that I'm pretty sure it will be changed. The MTC is intense! almost every second of every day we are studying and learning to Preach the Gospel from "Preach my Gospel". "Preach my Gospel" is an amazing book that trully does come from God, the lessons are beyond spiritual and the way that it teaches is in a way that is not offensive while at the same time very straightforward in what we believe, and I feel incredibly blessed that I am able to teach and learn from it. I went on my first tracking yesterday (Friday) and it was quite an amazing experience. We were given a little piece of a neighborhood that was in pretty bad shape and told to "get to work". Me and my companion were pretty apprehensive so we prayed together and I'm sure that my companion was praying in his heart just as much as I was when we came to the first door to knock. No one was home at the first house so we went to the second, same thing, and then we went to the third and we met one of the kindest woman that I think I will ever meet tracking. She was cooking a meal at the time for her neighbor's kids so she wasn't able to let us come in to teach her the first lesson and we were only allowed to be out tracking for 2 hours before the bus came and picked us up so we weren't able to go back, so I testified about how much the Book of Mormon has done in my life, that it trully is a record of prophets that were on the American Continent and how blessed I was as a child to have its teachings in my life and how much it trully strenghtened my relationship with my parents when we read it together and asked her if it would be alright if we gave her a copy. She said YES! so I gave her my missionary book of mormon and asked her if she would read a section of the book tonight before she went to bed and she said YES! I then marked 3 Nephi chapter 11 and bore testimony of the Savior and how wonderful it is that he came to the people on the American Continent as well as those in Jerusolem. After we we asked for her information and asked if it would be alright if other missionaries could come back when it was appropriate and she said that it was just fine and that she was interested in hearing what we had to say. Once we took her information we said goodbye and for ever more in my life I will remember and pray for Sara the first person that I may have actually had an influence on in bringing the light of the Gospel into her life! Well, the rest of the houses said no, some polite, some not so polite. And guess what England is very Catholic, wow, who would have known :P. The funniest bad experience had to have been when a man told us to bugger off and that he would sick his cat on us :). Timette thank you for the email that is amazing that Mike has that chance your Deal or no Deal chance is just getting better and better! I don't think you can send me the finished video but I know that it is wounderful, amazing, and stupendous. Relief Society 2nd counciler is a rough gig, but I know that with your attitude Timette you can make any calling the envy of the ward. England has not rained once since I got here, it is a little cold but beautiful blue skys as far as the eye can see (I think they just tell american's that it rains so that we wont come and bother them), so Utah is worse by far! I'm glad that your helping mom and I hope and pray that she will be able to accomplish the things that she needs and wants to be accomplished. Well, I love you all a ton and Timette thank you for the Email. Hopefully after I get out of the MTC I will have enough time to Email you all single Emails but until then I was hopeing the Dad will just Forward this one. The pictures are of me and my companion and the Preston Temple (by the way I had a session and it is beautiful).
