The MTC is still going well, I can't believe I've
already been here for 10 days, the time is flying! Plus my 2 month
anniversary for being a missionary is coming up soon too! I've been out
since August 16th, which is just insane. The time goes by fast when
you're working hard and trying to do what's right. Being a District
leader here has been such a blessing so far, I've tried my best to keep
our district under control and working hard on a constant basis. We've
grown to love each other, and our teachers feel like family as well.
When
I discovered the Cardinals were playing the Dodgers in the first round
of the playoffs, it was bittersweet. I know whoever wins that series is
going to win the World Series, so it better be St. Louis! I'm dreaming
for a St. Louis vs. Angels World Series so Albert Pujols can lose to his
former team haha! Sports here at the MTC are fun, I've been playing a
lot of basketball and volleyball which has been good. We get gym time
everyday for 50 minutes which gives us a nice break from the constant
studying we do each day.
In the priesthood session tonight for
conference there is going to be a missionary choir from the MTC singing
in that session. I found out that our group of missionaries was a week
late for the sign up, DANG IT! That would've been so cool to sing in
conference tonight, but I know quite a few missionaries that are singing
tonight, so it will be cool to see them on the big screen this
evening.
My companion and I are doing very good thus far,
we've been working hard and trying our best to figure out the language.
One of our teachers told us the other day; "Spoiler Alert, every
missionary comes home fluent in the language they learn. But not every
missionary develops the Christ Like Attributes that God wants us too.
It's sad, but true. I've focused my main priority on developing those
attributes, I know the Lord will bless me if I do that.
I'm
so grateful for all of you and I can feel your prayers in my life! I'm
going to continue praying for all of you and I hope you all have a
wonderful week! God will bless us if we put forth the desire to gain his
knowledge and by serving others!
Love,
Elder Strate
