Letter Dated March 18th

Dear Mom & Dad;

Elder Flamm, Elder Kirtchner, Mike & Elder Vauterlaus

So this should be the last letter you get from me from the MTC.  Pretty sweet huh! Ha Ha.  I am pretty nervous to go.  It is going to be awesome, but super difficult for a little while.  I hope to get an awesome Senior companion to help me to get the hang of things.  Guess we will find out what happened pretty soon.  Monday is going to be an interesting day.

I was disappointed not to know where Aaron is going for his mission.  I was hoping to find out before I left.  But oh well.


I was surprised to hear about the change in the bishopric.  Did Matthew Smith just get back?  Or was he the one who has been back for a while?

You gave the same kind of advise that we have been hearing all week.  It is great advice.  Since we wont be able to speak much, our job is to smile ha ha.  Sometimes just being super happy is enough to convert people.  We are not suppose to pay attention to the "average" baptisms in our area per month, the Lord prepares tons of people for us, if we sincerely try and ask the Lord for help, listen for the Spirit, he will help guide us to people when they are ready.  Every missionary can baptize.


I am glad to hear that everyone is doing well in our family.  I am sure things will continue to go well.  Not a ton of super exciting things happened this week.  This was my district's "teaching week".  So me and my companion have taught 25ish lessons in Spanish.  Which is pretty good.  At least we got lots of practice.  So far we haven't heard anything about visas, but we assume we are going.  If not I guess you will get one more letter from the MTC :(, which would be lame!


Off to Argentina! Help Bring people to Christ.


Con Amor
