HEY EVERYONE

Hey Everyone,
This is gonna be a short email this week, I really don't want to write to much, Not much goes on here at the MTC just a lot of learning and a lot of the spirit it is great!!!! This last week started of great!!! L. Tom Perry came and talked at our tuesday night devotional, He talked about companionships and companionship unity, It was amazing. You truly can feel the spirit when he walked into the room. Umm. . This was a Good week with my new Companion Elder McClure, he is an amazing guy. I taught the 2nd lesson in russian this week, It was great I really feel the spirit, It really humbles me to learn this language, It's one of the hardest and I can barley express myself. I definitley need the lords help if i'm ever goning to speak it normally. Well I Sure do study, pray and sing alot here at the MTC so thats what I do, Sunday I had the privalage of watching the dedication of the Draper temple, It was truly great. I felt the sprit and it strenghtened my testimony. My theme for this week is standing strong and firm in faith, Those who probably read this I have no doubt stand strong and firm, but If you can share this with ohters I beleive it will be for someone the lord intends. Jesus Christ loves us No matter what, He suffered undescirble pain for us. Our father in heaven loves us, he gave us this plan to return to him, to be happy, because the only way to be truly happy is to live the commandments. With the upcoming general Conferance and the opposition of all the gay right activists, I read in John 15:17-21 Jesus Christ talks about Loving one another, He also talks about how we will be purrsecutted and rejected. We have been called to be hated, and love those people who hate us. It is a temporory sidenote to exaltaion, We must have the christlike love, He died for those that crucified him, he suffered for those that mock him, he paid the price of sin and death for those who deny him, yet he did it, because of his love.May we all have that love for everyone, a charity, pure and deep let others feel it as they talk to us, no matter who they are and what they say or do. We are called to be hated and the lord always provides the way and the comfort to get through all things (matthew 11:28-30)
