The MTC is awesome!!! I cant believe that it has already
been 3 (almost 4 days). The MTC is great I have learned so much already. I feel like my brain is on overload but its good! My companions name is Elder Ofiu (oh-few). He is awesome!!! He knows the scriptures like crazy and hes
always telling me a random scripture to explain something to me. He is from Alaska and is 21 years old. He said he was pretty crazy up until 6 months ago
when he changed his life around. In our district there is three sets of companions,
Elder Cox and Elder Reed, and then we have Sister Davis and Sister Capt. I
really like my district we have a lot of fun!!! We have the 2 best teachers
brother Clancy and Sister Latu.
My testimony is already growing. I have learned a lot about
how to love people. We practice teach people like crazy, they are trying to
teach us how to love and see people as god sees them. Today we practice taught
a lady named Tiva, it was an awesome experience, and me and my companion
learned a lot from it. I don't think I have ever felt the spirit so strong until
then, it was an awesome experience. As we sat there and taught her about faith, I tried to see her as God does, and my whole view of her changed. Its crazy how
all of these investigators are fake, yet they are constantly on my mind.
Last night we got to meet our MTC branch president, he was
really cool. His scriptures look like a coloring book and he can practically
quote any scripture. He called Elder Ofiu and I to be our MTC zone leaders, we
weren't too happy about this cause it just means more work, but were grateful
to have the opportunity serve more!!!
Out of this whole experience so far, I have only one
thing to complain about... the food SUCKS!!! My companion eats like 3 plates
every sitting, but I cant even eat 1. I thought the food was supposed to be
good, so that was disappointing. I miss everyone at home, I try not to think
about it but dang I miss my nieces and nephew!!! (sorry for the rest of you, I promise I miss you too just not as much!) But other than that life is pretty
good, whenever I start to get sad we always have an awesome lesson and I think
its God's way of reminding me that this is all worth it!!! I'm so grateful for
this opportunity, I KNOW the church is true, and I know that if we have faith,
and do all that we can God will make up the difference! I love you all!!!
Love Elder Farnsworth
PS -- Parker and Austin: I can't wait for you guys to leave!!! You will love it!!!!
