"Thou art called to labor in my vineyard, and to build up my church, and to bring forth Zion, that it may rejoice upon the hills and flourish. Behold, verily, verily, I say unto thee, thou art not called to go into the eastern countries, but thou art called to go to the Ohio. And inasmuch as my people shall assemble themselves at the Ohio, I have kept in store a blessing such as is not known among the children of men, and it shall be poured forth upon their heads. And from thence men shall go forth into all nations. Wherefore, go forth, crying with a loud voice saying: The kingdom of heavn is at hand: crying: Hosanna! Blessed be the name of the Most High God. Go forth baptizing with water, preparing the way before my face for the time of my coming." --Doctrine and Covenants 39: 13-15, 19-20

More MTC

Hi mom I have been doing great this past week and it has been flying by. We are leaving this tuesday to Cleveland and I'm way excited, except we have to wake up at four in the morning so thats not going to be very fun at all. Our flight goes to Detroit and then to Cleveland so we will be in the Ohio at about 2 their time. Im way excited to get out there and meet my new companion although I will miss the mtc. Its been great here and I love my district we all have been able to enjoy ourselves but also we have been able to learn a lot about the gospel. I have been learning so much its pretty crazy but I love it. Our investigators here are mostly volunteers there to act like investigators or recent converts using their own conversion story to teach us. Its pretty hard but I am more scared to get out into the field and mess up with a real investigator. The good thing is that I have so much to do here then you pretty much have no time to thing about home. I would probably be freaking out by now if I didnt have so much to do so I'm grateful for that. I love and miss the whole family and hope everyone is doing great. I have been wanting to know how Eric is doing, when do they get there? And what are they doing? Well I heard jesse had his birthday, wish him happy birthday from me and dont let him drive until I get back haha. What else is going on at home anything new that I havent been told? Well I love the letters they make my day everytime I get to read them. I hope everyone is doing great. I dont think that we will be able to call but just be aware that it is still a possiblty on monday or sunday. And start sending letters to cleveland cause it will take forever if you send it to the mtc. I was able to go to the temple today so that was great probably the last time for two years so it was great. And I got my suit dry cleaned and have lots of stuff to wash today. We are pretty much now just getting ready to leave so its nice. Not tons of class and other things so I'm not always stressed out and worrying about lessons even though that is what I'm expecting once I get out into the field. So I guess that im the travel leader while we are going to Cleveland so I have to take care of ten other missionarys and get them onto their flights on time so we dont miss any flights. Im kind of stressed but I'm pretty sure everyone will be fine. Again I really cant wait to get into the field im so excited. Next time I email I will be there and have a new compaioin so you'll get to hear so much more about whats going on. You can tell everyone im doing great out here and loving it so much. I love the constant companionship of the spirit throughout the day its an amazing feeling and I love it. Without the spirit I dont think I would be able to be do this so its a great feeling. The mtc has been a great experience and I have been loving it so much. I'll write as soon as possible once I'm in the Ohio but dont expect much for a while except a email on p-day. Love you Mom and Dad you are amazing examples.
 
Love,
