Departing the MTC

Dear Everyone,

Howdy! How is everyone doing this week?! Everything is just fine and dandy here in the MTC. At least for the next three days anyway cause after that ILL BE IN ARGENTINA. In case you couldn't tell by the caps.. I'm pretty excited. Only a little though. Not for the 24 hour flight though. That'll be pretty rough. I'll just pass the time by converting everyone on the plane to the gospel of Jesus Christ. Jkjk.

It's been a pretty good week here though. Probably the fastest week I've had since I've been here in the MTC. Like my teacher said "Un día se siente como una semana, y una semana se siente como un día¨. That´s doctrine right there. 

Oh! Thank you all for the birthday wishes as well! If I don´t email you back, I´m sorry, I only have an hour for email time during the day. But I´ll try! Not gonna lie, I kinda forgot it was my birthday. I just went about my daily routine. Then at sacrament meeting, the Hermana´s told me happy birthday, and I was really confused for a second. Then I remembered.. Hey! It´s my birthday! I guess when you´re a missionary you don´t really focus on that stuff haha. It was a great day though. Oh I also got to see Elder Leavitt too! We didn´t get any cake or anything cause the MTC is pretty much a prison where you don´t celebrate anything. But we got a picture on our birthday! So I´ll be sure to attatch it. 

There was one thing that kinda stuck out to me this past week. It was the importance of patriarchal blessings. I was able witness my companion´s blessing, because he came without one. And also there was something that was said at our Sunday Night Devotional. He was an Emeritus General Authority, and I don´t remember his name. But he said that our patriarchal blessing is our own personal section of the Doctrine and Covenants. That hit me hard and I pondered it for a while, and I definitely read mine when I got back to the room haha. But I think some of us kind of take it for granted, I definitely do. Your patriarchal blessing is revelation from God specifically for you, personally. I invite all of you, if you have one, take it out, read it, ponder it, pray about it. I promise you will receive revelation through the Holy Ghost to find answers to your questions, and whatever you may be struggling with right now.

Thank you all for your support. In case you didn´t know, this is my last P Day in the MTC, soooooo.. Next time I email y´all, ILL BE IN ARGENTINA. Thank you all so much. I love you all.
