here are some things i did this week:
We had a really awesome firesided over the internet from
Russel m ballard, and he said that whenever you are having a hard timne take
your thoughts back to joseph smith in liberty jail, and how hard that was fror
him, really made me appreciate how good we have it. I also recited the first
vision in spanish for the first time to a mock investigator and it was awesome.
sunday consists of the sacrament and singing, I have gotten to play the piano
for a couple meetings which was awesome. I also gave a lesson to our district
on perserverence this week and i taught them about diligence, i shared the F2TF
story about tyler smith and they loved that, so we wrote F2TF on the board.
Because I want elder beard to be able to say the first
vision, I had to motivate him a little extra, so yesterday I asked him if he
wanted to fast until he had it memorized (He has been struggling to do so)
and he said he wanted to learn it, but not that bad HAHA so I finally
told him that I wasn't going to eat until he memorized it, so i didnt eat
dinner last night. He is a pretty kind person and didnt want me to suffer,
so When we woke up this morning he could say it to me perfectly. I credit
this tactic of motivation to my dad, thanks pops.
We went to the store this week and i bought a new tie and
some candy, that was fun. I got a haircut during p day, and to answer the
question about how the schedule goes for p days, we get up at 6:30 eat
breakfast, study for an hour, then go to the temple for like 4 hours, its
awesome, today we did a session and initiatorys. sweet. then we get like 4
hours to clean, have gym time, take a nap, and only 40 mins to email. ugh. I
have been playing a lot of fooseball, only one person beat me, and he barely
did so, he is a teacher here, which all of our teachers are from the DR- steph.
I have been writing in my journal every night i havent missed a day yet!
The most home sick thing that happened to me this week was
on sunday night we watched meet the mormons and it killed me, The last story
about the missionary and his mom got me TOO emotional, but Im good, Elder Beard
and I just had a little pity party back in our room for like 10 minutes then we
were good :)
All the guys in my room like to sing, we recorded ourselves
singing an acapella song and it was rad! Things are still exciting here in the
MTC, I just want to get out in the field though, I can never understand people
when we go to the park because our teachers speak so slowy and simply for us,
But we have only been here 2 weeks so its alright.
The Lord Is good, and i have seen tender mercies just about
every day, our district leader elder affleck asked us to start praying
specifically for everyone in our district and it has helped.
I know this church is true, and although i miss south weber
my family and friends, I am so glad to be where I am right now.
Muchos amor,
ELDER AUGER
