I LEAVE THE MTC TOMORROW!!!!
Holy cow. Holy cow. Holy. Cow. SO! I don't have a ton of time to write but
I figured I'd cover a few little bases with you right now. So! Apparently there's a lot of hype about calling your family from the
airport before you leave or something. I thought I'd let you know that I
probably won't call. A) no-one will be home tomorrow morning, B) You don't
really have time, and C) Mother's day is in like a month and I'm going to call
you then. So. I hope you're not too cut up about not hearing from me tomorrow.
I don't really have time today, but I thought I'd share a quick thought! I
just watched the movie "Mountain of the Lord" last night, about the construction
of the Salt Lake temple, and I thought I'd share something I LEARNED with you!
And you might already know this, but! They wanted to name utah "deseret"
initially, but a senator who wasn't favorably disposed towards us didn't like
that so he proposed the name "utah" instead, after the Ute indians. This is the
crazy part. In the language of the Utes, "utah" Means the top of the mountains.
There's a scripture in Isaiah that reads "In that day shall the mountain of the
Lord's house be established in the top of the mountains...." ......OH MY
GOSH!!!!! OH MY GOSH!!!! OH MY GOSH!!!! That's about what my brain did when I
found that out. Just sayin. So! The church be true. And stuff. :) Also! In
French we call our investigators "Amis de l'Église". In english that means
"friends of the church". Isn't that awesome? That means I spend all my time
thinking about how I can help out, and what I'm going to do for, my friends.
Isn't that great?! If there's one thing I know how to do, it's make new friends.
:) The Church is true! I'm so excited to get to Canada and start sharing the joy
of this gospel with all of my friends in Canada! I love you!
