Hey Guys!!!
As it turns out Friday's are P-Day for
my zone here at the MTC. It has been amazing here. The spirit is so strong. Trying to learn is
like trying to drink water from a Fire hose!!!
It has been a tiring and VERY long two
days so far. I got here on Wednesday and ended up seeing Lein on my walk to the
front desk and I got to talk to him for a few minutes, He wasn't my host,
he actually ended up being Kyle’s host.
So we Got to the MTC and we were
"grabbed" by a host, and then our host walked us through the campus,
helped with luggage, took us to the bookstore to get our study materials, took
us to our residence, and then took us to our Classroom. There in our classroom
we came one by one and eventually met our companions. I have an awesome
companion, Elder Felix, he's from Brigham City, Utah, He's just great!!!
After we met our companions, we went
and all the new missionaries had a big meeting with the MTC Mission Presidency.
It was absolutely incredible! When we all stood up and sang Called to Serve,
the spirit hit me so hard that I could barely sing! Then that evening we met
our Zone Leaders, and went to bed.
Yesterday was probably one of the
longest and most tiring days I have ever experienced, even though we were
sitting most of the day. We had our first real lessons yesterday. The day
started off with a workshop right after breakfast about People and Our Purpose,
It was a real eye opener, and it taught us to really feel unconditional love
towards everybody. Everybody is a child of our Heavenly Father and EVERYBODY is
loved by him.
The rest of the morning was spent with
study time, personal, companion, and District study time, I learned so much during
study time, especially about the importance of enduring to the end.
After Lunch, we came back and we
learned about our progressive investigators, and we really are trying to
develop Christ like love for her even though we have only seen a video about
her. We made lesson plans and then we went to a workshop about our MTC
resources.
Following that, we had dinner, and then
went to meet our branch presidency. We were all interviewed by the members of
the branch presidency. Then the Branch presidency made some callings... Elder
Robbins, who is one of my roommates, was called as our district leader, Sisters
Allen and Neilson from our district were called as the new Sister Training
Leaders for the Zone, and then finally Elder Felix and I were called as the new
Zone Leaders.
It's hard for me to believe that I had been
here for a little over 24 hours and was called as a Zone Leader! Obviously, the
Lord has a lot of faith in Elder Felix and I, and so do the Branch presidency.
Today we would normally have the
opportunity to go to the Provo temple but the temple is closed until the middle
of August. So instead, we have 5 hours of free time.
Love you guys and miss you so much,
Elder Bangerter
