Bye Bye MTC
Well, I have completed my final entire week at the MTC. I fly out to Japan early Monday morning. It's been such a blessing to be here, but I'm ready to go and teach real people. I know my language skills aren't amazing, but I know that when I get there I'll be able to learn so much faster. I have learned so much in my short time here and I have met so many amazing people. My testimony of this Gospel has grown so much, and I know that this Gospel has the power to change lives and help people find joy and happiness.
One sad thing that happened this week is that our Branch President of our MTC zone was released on Sunday. He was such an inspiring man that really instilled on me what it meant to be a missionary, and what it takes to be a successful missionary. It was hard to say goodbye, but it puts into perspective how many times you say goodbye on a mission, and it can be so bittersweet.
I know that my time here at the MTC has shaped me into what I need to be in order to be successful in the field and I am so grateful for all the people that have been an example to me. This week has flown by and before I know it, I'll be in Japan!
One of the most powerful things I learned this week was that God knows what's best for us, and he will do things to us that we might not like. He might correct us in ways that we don't like. However we should be thankful for these opportunities of growth because He is making us into what He knows best. In fact, we need to be SEEKING for His correction. This message is conveyed through a powerful video that I encourage everyone to watch! (Link Below)
I hope and pray that everyone is doing well and I encourage you to always seek ways to serve one another! And to remember to always seek God's correction!
