Leaving the MTC

HEY EVERYBODY!!
So im still at the MTC. i leave for Oakland on the 22 of sep. im really nerves but i know the Lord will help me... AND GUESS WHAT! im the travel leader! so im responsible for 9 missionary's and making sure they all get to oakland safe. anyways the MTC has been great! its crazy i only have one week left. i see payden mcroberts every once in a while, its really nice to see someone i know.
so i love my district (my class mates) we are all getting along so nice now.. there is an elder who does magic tricks! hes SOO GOOD so we have magic shows in our dorm like every other night.. everyone like to hang out in our room cuz we have so much fun..
we have two sets of sisters in our district and they add alot to our class, we are learning so much about the Gospel and what it is every day i feel the Spirit so strong.. im working really hard to become a good missionary. after being here just a few days i quickly realized that this is by far THE BEST thing i have ever done. its such an adventure and it hasnt even started yet!!

we spend like 8-10 hours a day in our class room.. we have two teachers bro.gannaway and bro.heaton i love them both very much we also have personal study time and comp. study.. i love the book of Mormon!!! i am learning so much about the power within the book and how much it really blesses our lifes. anyways im doing well but im still working hard to become more like Christ. the attribute im working on now is humility. its easy take all the blessings we have as missionary and forget the Lord is allowing the knowledge and progress in our lives.. "you have to pray alot for humility as a missionary" -Chris Cain- but i know the lord will bless me if im just willing to submit myself to his will..

yesterday i was a Host and we welcomed all the new missionarys! it was sooo fun! all the missionary mom's were crying HAHA i was like "GEE WIZ! im sure glad my mom wasnt like that when i left!!" ;) LOVE you MOM!! its really cool to see so many kids making good choices i really feel so strong when we all get together for big meetings i feel like a stripling warrior!! its awesome

its been a little harder than i thought- working with my comp. elder Smith.. haha i know you dont even need to say it. (everyone reading this is saying "I told you so" ) but im growing as i work through things with him. anyway i Love everyone very much. i dont really have time to think about anyone tho so i cant say i really miss you..... HA!! jk but no really i dont have time to even think! but hopefully next e-mail you get will be from OAKLAND/ SAN FRANCISCO!! YAHHH
