LAST WEEK IN THE MTC

The last week.  Holy cow.  I can´t believe it.  So much has happened here, yet it feels like it has flown by.  Although, at the same time, I´m ready to go out into the field.  The MTC has started to feel like home for me in certain ways, but my home for the next little while is waiting for me.  AND I CAN´T WAIT.  I leave this Monday at Noon and fly to Lima, Peru.  I then get on another plane to fly to La Paz, Bolivia.  After that, at 3:40 am on Tuesday, I get on my last plane to fly to Santa Cruz.  It´ll be a long day, but I´m really excited.  My life for the next (almost) two years will start.  It´s such a sweet feeling.  Everything but my Spanish is ready, but I know that it´ll come.  Considering I have no other choice of language besides Spanish for a while.

   I´ve been thinking a little bit and getting a little nervous to leave, but there´s a scripture that I love that should be able to help any of you out too. Especially those of you with friends or family on missions.  It´s found in 3 Nephi 21:10, it reads:

   "But behold, the life of my servant shall be in my hand; therefore they shall not hurt him, although he shall be marred because of them.  Yet I will heal him, for I will show unto them that my wisdom is greater than the cunning of the devil."  

   I promise that the Lord watches over those who preach his gospel. I love each and every one of you and I know that God does too.  I love what I´m doing with my life right now and it is already becoming to me, "The Best Two Years".  I love this gospel and from being in the MTC, I´ve learned even more about the gospel, scriptures, and prayer, as I have a foreign language.  I´m thankful for this opportunity to help the people of Bolivia receive His Truth.  Love you guys.  Talk to you when I´m in Bolivia.  I´m not sure what day that´ll be, but I will email as soon as I can.  

   Para siempre Dios este con vos.
