The Lord is God and loves his children. He provided a plan whereby we may be saved from our sins and become like Him to live in eternal splendor and glory as perfected beings. Jesus Christ was the major functioning role in that plan, and has carried out what he needed to do. Now it is our turn to carry out what we need to do. Shall we not go on in so great a cause?
Elders Nelson and Holland of the Quorum of the Twelve came to the MTC to speak at the MTC's 50th anniversary and I sang in the choir. Nothing beats singing for some apostles and then being spiritually fed by their words. It was a grand experience for all of us to add with theirs our testimonies of our Savior in that monumental meeting.
Our district lost four people this week due to people moving on to either the field, or to the other MTC's around the world. Now we are down to nine, which is still a pretty large district, though we don't feel that way.
My teachers are great and have high expectations for us. My teaching group consists of Elder St. Martin and I as well as Hermana Coleman, making us two of the luckiest Elders in the force because we get to teach with an Hermana.
Someone pranked our room by taping up our bed to look like a prison cell, using my duct tape that was supposed to last about two years in about five minutes. It was funny, and we got some good pictures out of it.
You know, getting mail isn't really all that important to me while I'm here. It's nice, but it is rather distracting when I really think about it. The food is always welcome, though.
I love everyone, and wish everyone a happy week, even if you read this many years in the future or have read this before. You still have my best wishes.
Do your laundry, eat some delicious food, and do something spontaneously nice and heartwarming as much as possible so it becomes less spontaneous and more heartfelt.
May the grace of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ be with you all!
Elder Lindsey
