Well – here I am… I go into the MTC three weeks from today, whew! I’m super excited about the whole thing! I’ve gotten over the inital fear, I think. That is until I get into the MTC, of course, I’m sure that I don’t know for sure what I’ve gotten myself into. I’ve got some sort of an idea about the whole thing, but I’m not sure I don’t know a lot, this knowledge is bound to grow in the next few months.
I had a good friend of mine give a fanatastic talk in church on Sunday, he just got home from Italy. He’s talk was absolutely amazing! It really made my worries about the whole thing fade. It was a heartfelt talk about his love for the people of Italy. He didn’t necessarily always understand everything that was being said, but he knew that they were all children of God and that they still had something in common. It was really neat to see how much he had changed and how much he truly loved the people, it just goes to show that you can feel a kinship with someone that you may not even know.
Needless to say, I’m happy about the whole thing, and I’m ready to go! 3 weeks and counting!
