So
I just got to Ogden today and have already done one hour of practice
tracting. It was really scary but really cool too. Hopefully someday
soon I will be a little less shy and more confident in sharing the
gospel.
I
will get my new companion/trainer tomorrow and find out where in the
mission I will be going to. My P-day is officially going to be Tuesdays
here in the field.
In
the MTC my testimony has grown tremendously and specifically my
testimony on prayer. I never really prayed a lot before but now I feel
like I pray a hundred times a day and I know that I am being blessed by
doing that. For example, one
day in the MTC I forgot to pray before teaching an "investigator" and
me and my companion bombed that lesson. Another night I forgot to pray
before going to bed and I was like I'll just miss one night and pray in
the morning. Bad choice I stayed up for an
hour before finally giving up and praying and soon after I was asleep.
:)
My
companion in the MTC was Elder Ervin and he is from Mesa, Arizona. Do
you know where it is? Im not sure but I think its near pheonix ;)
The
biggest thing I learned at the MTC while I was there was the power of
the Holy Ghost when teaching. Without the Holy Ghost missionaries are
nothing and they wont teach anybody. When we teach the Holy Ghost tells
us what we need to say
and then he will help confirm to the investigator that what we are
teaching is true. I have a testimony of that as well.
The
transition to MTC time and schedule wasnt that difficult. Except for
this morning because I had to stay up last night to finish packing and
then wake up at 4:00AM for my train ride.
The
schedule there at the MTC was crazy. It was class, class, and more
class for 12 days and then they threw me out to the world. I was there
less than 2 weeks but I walked out feeling like I had a lifetime of
knowledge. I know that this
is the true church because no other church could even dream of doing
something like that and we do it every week now. I know that the Lord
loves everyone and that I need to help the word of His gospel and that
they will be blessed for letting the Lord into
there lives.
I love and miss y'all more,
Elder James Curtis
