Dear Friends and Family, July 22, 2011
As of this Wednesday, I'll have been in the MTC for eight weeks. Now, eight weeks seems like a long time, at least to me. But, if you put things to do in that time frame (e.g. learn an entire language) that eight weeks suddenly seems a lot shorter. I'm leaving on August 1st, and my only objective right when I get there is to talk to as many native speakers as I can once I arrive. Great!
The crazy thing is, even though I talk about not being ready, something inside me feels ready, but it's not me. It's like something is ready FOR me. I believe now more than ever that God loves all of us. He's concerned if you're concerned. The most All-Powerful Supreme Being in the Universe does care if you pray for help on a spelling test. He cares if you pray for traffic to be fast because you're late. And I testify that He cares about a naive 19-year-old boy who is trying to learn Spanish. If we ask, we shall receive according to the will of God,.
Thanks everybody, for taking a minute to see how I'm doing. ☺ I wish I could see how you all are doing.....oh wait, I can! Send me a quick note or a letter if you have time. I know it sounds pathetic, me pleading for letters, but I just want to see how people are doing. ☺ If not, God speed, and I'll see you in 2013.
