Elder Holland visited the MTC and his talk was pure inspiration.He took questions at first and these are a few.
"If JESUS wanted us to know one thing right now, what would it be?" His answer was...
"That He told the truth." Everything He ever said HAS, Is, or Will come true.
The man I have been studying my whole life and studying INTENSELY for a month has just sent us a message through an apostle. He told the truth. And how amazing is it that we can have people on earth that can tell us things like that. Without hesitation.
He also compared us to apostles, saying he is an Apostle with a captial A, and we're apostle's with lowercase a's. He also said we're witnesses of Christ with a lower case w, which would make him a Witness with a captial W. HOLY COW.
He said,
" if there were one thing in this life to do it is to serve a mission."
" if there were one thing in this life to do it is to serve a mission."
"Along with the prophet, missionaries are the most prayed for people in the church."
"If there were a logo for the church it would be two missionaries."
"We don't have the right to take away from our appearance, image and impression"
"Every blessing in his life came through serving a mission."
After, we stood as he left, and in silence stood outside and watched his car drive passed and away in silence. Hundreds of missionaries stood in a sea of silent, dark suits. It was amazing.
I have homework. Google Mormon messages and watch "Sanctify Yourself"
I get to see Tyler and eat with him all the time. It so awesome to have someone from home so close.

I am exploding with excitement to actually get out and do some good.
Stay Safe, Stay Happy and Stay worthy,

Spencer turned 19 in the MTC September 27th. He said it was THE BEST BIRTHDAY EVER!! I am re- thinking birthday parties now since I have learned that I can make and send cake, sushi, party hats and silly string. ( The Mylar bags worked great with ice pack's and he got it by 1:00 in the afternoon.) Who knew it could be so simple?
IT"S A SMALL WORLD:)
"I am Charlies cousin's Zone Leader. So we got a new district Wednesday, and me and Elder Beeson got to welcome them as Zone Leaders. One of their names is Elder Morris and he's Charlie's cousin! Cool, huh? It was fun to see their faces when I told them I just turned nineteen. One of them said, "Woah, you seem so much older than us!" I remember thinking that about our Zone Leaders as we got here.
