MTC: End of Week 2

Hey everyone! Well week two of the MTC has been eventful.  uhm we have had some super awesome awesome devotionals and singing in the MTC choir is super leuk (cool).

uhm our first "investigator" told us how her baby died and she thought her baby was going to Hell which was literally one of the saddest things I have ever heard in my entire life.  So helping her understand that children are innocent was a super cool experience.  But then she went back to the Netherlands so we are done teaching her.

We got two new investigators this week both are challenging in there own way but the language is getting much easier, which I definitely give credit to the gift of tongues for that one.  There is now way I could learn this language as fast as I have, I mean its still super hard and I have to work at it but its worth it for sure.

The food at the MTC is questionable at best soooo ya know I miss a home cooked meal and music at this point. But the positives far out weigh the negatives!

Alright a little bit about my investigators

Our first onderzoeker  is:

Andy and he believes in a higher being but doesn't really know what God is so we taught him how God was his heavenly father and I really hope that it gets through to him.

Our second onderzoeker is:

Well, we kinda maybe forgot to get her name on the first visit but she's an atheist from Netherlands (which 49% of the population is) and she doesn't see why she needs God in her life like at all, sooo she's going to be a challenge but I feel lots of love for both of them.

I love you all thanks for all of the support!

Email from Jerrick @ the MTC: End of Week 1

Mom email me as much as you can I welcome it.  I miss all of you a ton, like a ton ton so I'm happy to hear that your doing well! 

uhm I'm only allowed to send one letter a week so I'll put multiples in the same envelope and let you and dad distribute them!
I have loved being in the MTC sooooo so much.  I have never  been more fulfilled in my entire life and the spirit testifies of the truthfulness of this gospel every single day.

I love you all write me soon and tell everyone hi!

These are my companions! I'll send more pictures as I take them!! uhm these Elders are awesome I love them to death. 


But anyways, the lessons are great I can feel the spirit so much and the language is hard but we are all learning it like ridiculously, not humanly fast so its great.  Love you all thanks for all you do.
