1st official email from MTC- 2nd week.

Man! here in the mtc is way fun! so we have been learning a lot and its been such a great experience and i have gained so much of my testimony that i didnt even know i had. we have been going to devotionals every sunday and tuesday night. and last night we went to a devotional from a guy who was a member of the seventy. elder richard h. winkel. he and his wife went on and talked to us about christ and his life and his atonement and sacrifice he made for us. it was such an amazing experience and afterwards we had district meeting about the devotional and the spirit was so strong in the meeting i could totally feel it. me and elder flitton have been investigating a non active member named brother cheng. and we first met with him last week and he didnt really feel like listening to us. we went in to talk to him this week and we had members come with us. it was awesome cause the member could relate to brother chengs experience.. he wanted to know why his friends died in war and not the bad people. well the member had a very similar story and explained to brother cheng how he coped with that and how the lord helped him. it brought brother cheng to tears and you could tell that the spirit was working him so hard and letting him know that his heavenly father loves him! you asked if we go off campus to teach. the answer is no. the mtc has people that volunteer sometimes members sometimes non members. but they volunteer and act so well! its crazy! well im running out of time but i get to call home when i get to the airport on monday at 8 in the morning. (Leaving the MTC for Dallas on 7/18)
