I wasn't aware that P-Day ends at 6pm, and I planned to email my mass email tonight, but they are allowing me a few minutes to send out a quick one.
Don't expect a whole lot of info from this email....

Anyways, I have honestly learned more here in 2 weeks than I did in my entire life of seminary and splits with missionaries and Sunday school...
I sincerely wish that every person would decide to serve a mission, because even if you don't feel like you want to or even can, I promise you will find that
anyone is capable of being a great missionary. The Lord truly makes up your weaknesses. I've never had this burning desire to learn and teach before an I love it.
Plus, one of our TRC investigators is actually a real deal investigator and we may have just tipped the iceberg to get her baptized for real! We are meeting with
her outside of our scheduled time so that we can help her even more. In fact, Elder Aughenbaugh (my awesome 6'8" companion) are about to go in and teach
her in about 10 minutes!

Also, apparently I'm the "cool guy" of the district (?), as well as being the "spiritual giant" of the group. Which is odd, considering how lazy I am and how all
of them could do much more than I'm doing if they just had a little more trust in the Lord. I find it really strange how I fit in here, but I'm flattered and it's
actually a really big confidence boost in an area of my confidence I was lacking in a lot... So yeah, the MTC is actually the greatest thing ever and I don't ever
want to leave!

Also, here's a few pictures. They are all terrible quality, but still pictures.
My roomates. Elder Aughenbaugh is the really tall one and he's my companion. Elder Frese is a realyl small child. Elder Stubbs is the guy that looks
like exactly what you would expect from a guy from Utah lol. Fun fact, I haven't seen anyone taller than my companion or anyone shorter than Elder Frese
in the whole MTC, and there are thousands of people here.
My district + Sister Tarawhiti (in pink in the middle), the teacher I talked of in an earlier email.
The Elders in my district after our first temple trip together to the Provo temple. I hate that this picture makes me look even shorter
than I actually am. Thanks Elder Aughenbaugh and the several other elders in my district over 6 feet tall...
I drew portraits of my district without looking at the board and I have to say, I really have a talent.
