Letter Dated February 4th

Not sure what this is about
Dear Mom & Dad;


Well I think I have plenty to write about this week.  We have all be working hard in our classes.  Learning how to teach, and learning a bit of Spanish.  Ha,Ha, we pretty much work 24/7.  We still all feel exhausted all the time.






Mike & Elder Kirchner at the Provo Temple




The devotionals and firesides are awesome.  One of the coolest things ever is to see hundreds of missionaries in one spot.  Fantastic.





So my P-day goes something like this:
    6:30              get ready
    7:00              personal study
    8:00              Breakfast
    9:00              Temple
  11:00              Companion study
  12:00              Personal time
Elder Geary
    1:00              Lunch
    2:00-6:00      Personal Time
    6:00              Dinner
    6:45              Class
    9:30              get ready for bed

So I usually write letters and do laundry from 2-3:30.  Then I try to relax, sleep, read, or just talk for a while to get a bit of a break.


Yea, I like the fact that you move around in the Idaho Falls Temple.  It would be cool to go the Salt Lake or Manti temple for a session.

So I actually check my email.  Aaron sent an email 11 days ago.  Whoops.  I only have 30 minutes a P-day to use the computer.  So its a good thing only he sent me one.
Elder Vaterlaus


The next part of my letter is a bit more personal.  As I have lived here, felt of the spirit, and come closer to our Heavenly Father, I started to look back at my life the past couple of weeks and realized just how far from the spirit I was.  Even if this was the only reason that going on a mission was right (its not the only reason), It has shown me the Power of Christ's Atonement, and I have begun to feel just what it can do to help the soul feel better.  I am already eternally grateful to have come to the MTC.  Its changed me in 2 1/2 week for than I could have imagined.  I have faith that in a short time I will have a portion of the spirit so that I can continue learning how to bring other to a knowledge of this gospel.


Con Amor


Elder Obray


P.S.  I would like some pictures of the family.
