Epiphany

 Howdy all!


This week was a lot of the same. Good, but a lot of the same.

Monday: Last Monday was pretty boring for a pday. A lot of sitting around, but I hung out with Elder Beamer a lot. He's a chill ZL so we were able to have some pretty laid back condos.

Tuesday: Comp exchange with my buddy Elder Redondo! This was the first day thay I really realized how trunky Elder Gutierrez was. He was really holding me back. This isn't to say that he was a bad missionary, because he was always so powerful in the lessons. He was just ready to go home. Anyways, with Elder Redondo we actually went finding in Tickyline and got a couple interested people.

Wednesday: It was me and Elder Redondo again. We went finding again and found a bunch of people who wanted us to come back. Great day!

Thursday: Elder Redondo came with me AGAIN and we did some more work. It had been raining the past few days and we did get stuck. This time the mud wasn't as deep, but I had to push the bakkie up an incline while Elder Redondo was on the gas. Otherwise, it was a pretty good day.

Friday: Back with Elder Gutierrez, and being three days away from leaving the area for good, the work slowed exponentially. Outside of that it was a chill day.

Saturday: Another slow day, same as Friday. But that night the transfer board dropped and I know who my next comp will be! His name is Elder Müller! He's from Sweden and I've heard he's a really hard worker so I'm excited for him to show up!

Sunday: Church as usual, fast and testimony meeting. We had a good number of people go up and bare their testimonies even though only about 9 people attended the meeting. Disheartening. But after church we had a nice member meal and then I drove Elder Gutierrez to Polokwane along with Elders Cordero and Edwards. Elder Gutierrez and Elder Cordero are both leaving, so me and Elder Edwards drove home together and hung out that night until the ZL's picked him up to crash with them.

Spiritual Thought: This week was a good finding week, so I will share a scripture about exactly that. It is D&C 29:7. "And ye are called to bring to pass the gathering of mine elect; for mine elect hear my voice and harden not their hearts;". This scripture is exactly what me and Elder Redondo were able to do. Those people we met were ready to hear the gospel and we're happy to meet with us. They truly were the Lord's elect.

Much Love,
Elder King

  Hello my friends! This email comes soon after the other, but my p-day for the MTC is on Friday. Since I just got here on Wednesday, there's not a whole lot to tell. Monday - On Monday, I had my last day of home MTC and that was fantastic. Some good learning came from that day but there's nothing specific that happened. I was able to finish up my packing and also slept at my own house for the very last time. Tuesday - Tuesday was the first day of travel. I said goodbye to my family for the last time in two years and got on the road. My dad and Caleb rode with me, because my dad was taking him up to BYUI right after dropping me off at the MTC. We stopped at Buc-ee's for lunch and compiled the whole day of driving to 13 1/2 hours. When we stopped we had made it to Cortez, Colorado, where we stayed the night in a hotel. Wednesday - Wednesday was the second day of driving but also the day I arrived at the MTC. When we left the hotel, we only had 5 1/2 hours left to go. we got ...

This was a pretty eventful week, so I'll try to explain everything as best as I can. It was a great week, even through all the business. I'm tired, but not of the gospel of Jesus Christ! Saturday : The day after pday. Saturday was a very good day. We started this one off by going to sand, and getting cleaned up afterwards. Breakfast is always fun after we compete a little bit. After lunch we went to the temple. We did the initiatory and baptism for the dead ordinances. It's so cool to see how different they do it from the temple back home! I loved it. Sunday : My first Sunday at the MTC! This day was super spiritual and definitely tiring. There were so many great experiences and great messages shared that day. Me and Elder Christensen taught a small lesson in Elders' Quorum and it went well. Sacrament meeting here was so peaceful and fitting for the environment. Finally this thing called Go and Do happened. There was a small devotional for about half an hour, then every...
