Week two at the MTC...

Hello Friends and family,

I just love studying the Gospel here!  The Spirit here is so amazing! 

The days go by quick here at the MTC and I can't wait to get to France. I am feeling The Spirit a lot and learning a lot as well.  My district and I went to San Francisco last Tuesday.  We woke up at 1:30 am and left for the airport at 2:40am.  We arrived at the Salt Lake City airport at 4am and flew out at 6am. That was okay, just really tiring.  We arrived in San Francisco around 7:30am and couldn't find the people to take us to the French Consulate. We finally found them and still arrived for our appointment on time at 9am.  We went to the 6th floor and they called us up one by one (there were about 15 of us). They scanned our fingers and took our pictures. The worst part in going there was having to give some "samples" and getting our blood drawn twice because they forgot to tell us we couldn't eat eanything beforehand.  We got to visit and take pictures of the Golden Gate Bridge. We stayed there for about an hour and then left for the airport.  We arrived at the airport at 11:30am.  We waited and ate some lunch. We arrived back at the MTC about 5:30pm and then went to our devotional.

This Tuesday we'll be hearing from L. Tom Perry so I am really excited for that. Thanks to all for your support with your letters, packages and prayer.  I appreciate it more than you know.

Our district has been working on some goals and I know as we do God's work everything will work out.  I have felt The Spirit so much here and have learned to rely on God more and more. I love learning the Gospel and teaching it. I love seeing improvements in ourselves and hearing from all of you.

Au Revoir!
