Fare(Wells) To The MTC

September 9, 2016

Hello humans!  

This has been an amazing week, and it'll be a challenge to fit everything in, but I'll try!

Probably the best part of the week was being in a devotional with Elder D. Todd Christofferson. He is definitely a witness of Jesus Christ and this gospel. One thing he said that hit home for everyone was something to the effect of "we all trust the Lord, but does He trust us?" That was insanely deep.

I also ran into Elder Noah Wells from Virginia, headed to Ecuador. We took a picture but he won't send it to me till Monday which is his p-day. Funny thing is: His comp's name is Elder Black, mine is Elder Silver! 

We've been teaching three investigators this week, Katya, Kai, and Leyla. Katya is from Russia and finally accepted the challenge to prepare to be baptized, and she has been going to church regularly. Since she wants the best thing for her little girls, she wants o be baptized. She's also working on talking to her husband Eric about meeting with the missionaries. Kai is a different story. He's a really cool guy, and wants to believe that there is a God who loves him, but the only experience he had with prayer, he didn't feel that God was there, or He just didn't care. So we've talked for 3 lessons about prayer, and he is starting to warm up to the idea of God and Jesus Christ really being there, even if he doesn't receive an answer right away. Leyla is from mexico, she has a catholic background, and she really likes what we've been teaching. She said she'll have a hard time giving up tea and coffee, but if it means following the Lord, then she knows it's right. I think we are teaching them tomorrow, but I'm not 100% sure.

I'm headed off to Edmonton on Tuesday, it's gonna be a long day, but It's gonna be worth it.. best part is, I've never been on a plane! Yay!

I'll attach a few pictures too! 

Keep moving forward, The Lord Loves you!!
