What's up everybody?!?!?!

This week has been long but good. Spanish is destroying me but I know if I am persistent, I can learn it......eventually! MTC is same old, same old. Days feel like weeks and weeks feel like days. I really want to just be out in the field because I don't feel like I am helping anyone here!! I know that in order to help people I need to be here!!

I had a pretty awesome experience this week watching the Character of Christ by Elder Bednar. In it he talks about how not once while Christ was on the earth did he think of himself...he was ALWAYS serving. This was the main point of Elder Bednar's talk and as he went on I realized how focused on myself I have been while being here at the MTC, and I am gonna be honest...I have not been happy or joyful most of the time while being here. But I came to realize that was why! So as I began serving my companion and looking outside of myself, I became much, much happier.

Sure at times I still fall back into thinking about myself and being self centered, and at those times I am the most sad and down on myself. When we look outside of ourselves and look for ways to pick each other up we become less sad about own trials and our lives become much more fulfilling!! I would like to encourage each of you to watch Character of Christ by Elder Bednar and to try and find ways to look outside of yourself this week. Do kind things for each other. NOT because YOU want the blessing or because you think it will help YOU, but because you have a sincere desire to help OTHERS and to love THEM. Also, do not judge each other. We all have our own personal trials that are different from others, so don't judge...you just don't have to! Leave that to the Savior. Just Love!!

I love you all and I hope all is well.

Also shout out to my boy Dylan for taking state!! Waitta represent!!
