Sorry it took so long to hear from me! Last Thursday was our first p day but we didn't have p-day for some reason because it was the day after we got here and we didn't need it. But for the next two weeks my p-day will be on Thursday. So today is my 8th day in the MTC as you know and time seriously has flown by! I can't believe how much I have learned in such a short time, its amazing! Also, this place is probably the most humbling place of all time, because like the second day here you have to try and teach the first lesson and you have no idea what you are doing! But even though it has stretched me more than I have ever been stretched in my life I can see how much the Lord is blessing me for coming on a mission! One of my greatest desires is to be able to teach with power and I have been praying for that gift and yesterday I started to see the answer to those prayers. My companion Elder Smith and I were at the TRC, which is a place where you go and teach fake investigators and than they give you feed back on how you did. It's pretty intense because the fake investigators are teachers here and all went on missions and stuff and so it can be intimidating. But yesterday we were teaching this guy at the TRC and his name was Jeffrey and we were teaching him the first lesson and it was going pretty well and I started teaching about the Restoration and about Joseph Smith's first vision, and than it just seemed like The Spirit literally took over and I wasn't even really speaking the words were just coming out of my mouth. And I was looking right into the investigators eyes and he started crying and it was SO SWEET. We challenged him to read the Book of Mormon and pray about Joseph Smith and he said he definitely would! So we said a closing prayer afterwards, and then our fake investigator broke character and was like, what are you Elder's doing!? You should have challenged me to be baptized! I would have definitely said yes! haha It was pretty funny but awesome! Also I have been blessed with a great district, it's a great group of dedicated Elders. One of the Elders is a Samoan from Australia and he's absolutely hilarious, he reminds me of Uncle Ovala so much because he can eat more food than most large animals. Yesterday I challenged him to an apple eating contest to see who could eat it in the fewest bites. He ate his apple in literally two bites, core and everything! hahahah it was insane! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR EVERYTHING!! I LOVE YOU Elder Powers
