Week Tolu in the MTC

Hey!!

Well, this week went by in a flash!!! It was the first Fast Sunday out on a mission; it was great! I sought for the Spirit for our investigator and for strength to go about the week. Last Saturday was good; I got close with a lot of the Elders in my district. It was cool to talk about home and why they wanted to come out. We had a devotional Sunday night with Sister Baker and then later that day we watched the Charter of Christ, a talk by Elder Bednar about turning outwards when others would turn in and also building a testimony of Christ and His doctrine.

ELDER BEDNAR CAME AFTER!!!!!

He came for some Q&A after the clip. Wow, I didn't have the guts to stand and ask some of my questions, but a lot of them were answered. I love how that works in the gospel. Oh, on a different note, in Samoan "talalelei" means the good news or the gospel, pretty cool! Monday we did some service, like any other Monday ;). It was fun; we swept and mopped some bathrooms. My room is awesome; we have some Elders going to Tonga: Elder Christopherson and Elder Lomu. They're awesome Elders!

We had Elder and Sister Sitati from the Area Seventies come talk to us; it was good. They talked about missionary work and said that you never will know the lives that you have touched.

We taught Lakope (Jacob), he is our teacher, and Uso Anderson. It was just role playing, but it was great. Then just last night we went to go teach some TRCs. Sorry, I don't know what it stands for. We got there and I was super nervous. Ha ha, just try thinking of a language you know okay, Spanish or something, then think of teaching the gospel in it. We went and no one was in the room, so we taught Laulu-Potutoua (sorry, I probably spelled his name wrong). It was still really good. I need to rely on the Lord more!!!! He is the one who can help me the most.

ALOFA!
