Panama will be a remarkable country!

Hey everybody!! Another week at the MTC gone by, wow! This week has been great - We (as a district) got to meet a Native from Panama!! He was Incredible - I can't even descibe what it was like to talk with him! - grew up there until age 18 then moved to America for school - he is in a branch presidency here, an an older man, and is a remarkable servant of the Lord! Served as bishop, counselors, stake pres, mission presidencies, etc. Long story how we met up with him, but he came and visited us, which we feel blessed for :) He just talked about Panama with us - A Remarkable Country - and He said there couldnt be a better time in history for us to be going there, the peolple are amazing! lets just say - it will be great! :) So Excited!!!
On other news - I asked what i can share on the blog and i was told to share little details, basics. The MTC is great we continue to learn! we are very busy all day every day! we don't really have free time, youve always got something to do :) We get to go to the Temple once a week - on P-day, and we Love it :) well theres some little details for now!
Love Everyone - thank you for all the Support! The Church is True - Our Heavenly Father is Real!

thank you for your support!

Hi there! So the MTC is going great so far, been here for a little while now! weve recieved two new districts in our zone since then! so this last week - The Zone leaders went to the field (Chile), and Elder Hollingsworth & Parmer (MTC- Guatemala) sad to see them go, Love them, and may the Lord be with them! Thank You for all of the support from everyone, if ya didnt already know, missionaries love letters and packages!! I continue to draw closer to the Lord each day, Its Amazing here at the MTC! and when ya feel your doin great, the Lord will bring you low again, so you can continue to grow! kinda like a stripping down building up experience! i guess i will just say its definately humbling here :) I love my district, and have come closer to each Elder in it! we are now The Solid Six or "Los Seis Solidos" We continue to strive to work hard but also enjoy :) I pray we may continue to have strength to progress the Lords work foward! I know the Church is True brothers and sisters, with out a shadow of a doubt, i know we can each pray and our Heavenly Father is there! to listen to us and to answer us :)

Take care, I love you all!    "Yo se que Dios y Jesucristo viven"

more MTC news

Hey, how is everybody doing? I hope great!! its great here at the MTC! My district is working hard and we are progressing :) it is difficult in some circumstances because both of our teachers have been out of town, one in Spain, the other in California. So we have had lots of different teachers! We love them though, just yes, we will be grateful when Our actual ones come home! Firesides and Devotionals are like the Highlight of the week, we love them :) oh and getting to watch a church movie after the fireside sunday evening, thats fun too! so far we have seen The Legacy, and Joseph Smith the Restoration ( Lucy Mac's View ). Elder Hollingsworth (from Ohio) and Elder Parmer (from Highland, Ut) are leaving our District next Tuesday, on they go to the Guatemalian MTC ( the are serving in Guatemala! ). I will miss Elder Hollingsworth, he is a stud, definately will be keepin in touch!! The MTC is a wonderful place, I am able to feel the spirit so strong here, I love it! The Spirit helps me to learn everyday, i definately wouldnt be able to progress as i am without the companionship of the Holy Ghost. Also struggles do come, difficulties, but the Lord helps me to make it through! I love my family and dear friends! thanks to you all!
