Tim here! The MTC is pretty great! It started a little slow but, as soon as I got to Sunday it sped up a bit. My first companion is Elder Guthrie! He is pretty chill and kind of quiet but, he likes green and plays drums. So, we have some things in common. They really throw you into things here with a 16 hour schedule where you are doing stuff and overwhelmed with spiritual highs and sometimes emotional lows. The stress is real here and I can't wait for things to calm down and get out to the field. Days feel like weeks here and this week makes me feel like I have been doing this for months. You just learn so much here and feel the spirit every time you remember to pray and focus. You get an hour everyday to exercise and it's great! Half the time I work out with Elder Mcintosh and other times I play some basketball. All good fun! My cousin Seth moved into my building like the second day here. He is chill and I enjoy relaxing with him at the end of the day. It can feel like prison here sometimes, but it isn't because the gate is always open and the schedule is up to your obedience. It is just so weird when we go on temple walks and can actually see the sky and the mountains. haha But, it's good you learn so much here in a short period of time that it feels like a ton. I'm kinda lazy but, I'm dedicated enough to put in the work. It's silly but I'm figuring it out. So, probably the most spiritual experience here is when the sisters of our district asked for a blessing. I got so excited to do that because I love blessings. So, to make sure everyone got a good experience from it. I took the Elders out in the hall and asked the sisters to Pray. I talked to the Elders about the seriousness and to prepare to feel crazy amounts of spirit and use tons of faith. Thankfully they knew what they were doing and have done it before except Elder Guthrie. We did the blessings and I gave the sisters an opportunity to bear their testimony and I can neither confirm nor deny that I balled my eyes out. It was beautiful and I love hearing from them. I love my district. We are all bros and I love the sisters. (Not in a flirty way :P Get over yourselves) I love you all too! haha Love all around!
Love all you beautiful people so much!
Really feeling the love here!
God loves you as well!
