I've made a lot of great friends here at the MTC and I find it very strange that I'm leaving this next monday to Mexico! The time flies by so strange here it feels like I just got here yesterday, but at the same time its weird thinking of a time outside the mission. I find that I'm loving this place more and more each day. The nervous feelings have been finally creeping up on me, however visiting the temple today I feel much better! The lord answered my prayers instantly while in the celestial room today, confirming that I do have gaurdian angels watching over me. Four that I'm absolutely certain of. Cindy, Nana, Gpa Richardson, and someone that I don't know yet but I will come to know as he enters this world as one of my sons. It was a very profound revelation given to me through a vision while reading the scriptures. The spirit testifying of its truth. So I know I will be closely watched over while in Mexico.
As time goes on, I hear more and more great things about Guadalajara! Its one of the more nicer missions in Mexico, its significantly less dangerous there than other places, and the temperature is 65-85 year round! It's gonna be great!
The best part about being here in the MTC is how close I've already grown to the savior. Now that I've seen his love from a more clear stand point, I will do my best to emulate his love in everything that I do and to all those people that I meet. While studying which attributes of christ I wanted to work on the most I prayed for guidance on the ones I needed most. After searching I could not decide on anything then like the flip of a switch I fell asleep. I had a very interesting dream that at first was fairly random and didnt make sense. I had someone tell me I needed to milk a cow (random I know) and someone was sent to teach me how to do it. The guy was very obciously not wanting to be there, playing on his phone and paying no attention to what i was doing, which led to me being very distraught and frustraded. Then the dream switched and someone else was showing me how to do it. He slowly walked me through it, made jokes, and showed that he really cared, which was a pretty good experience. The dream then switched again where I saw a pretty hermana standing with a sad and embarrassed face in only her underwear. Immediately I felt compassion and sorry and walked over with a cloth and covered her up, telling her that everything would be alright.
I didnt know what to think of that dream and was contemplating the meaning when the spirit spoke in a loud voice as if sitting right next to me at dinner. Saying "Act in a way that you can be focused on what is happening ut more importantly take every single oppurtunity to teach and guide those around you with a genuine sincerity so they feel the saviors love through you. Also, work towards having a godly mindset. Thinking in any given situation of what your lord and savior Jesus Christ would do, keeping your eyes single to the glory of god."
This is only but one of my profound inspirations that the spirit has told me. Some things have been so amazing but the spirit tells me to keep them sacred to myself. This is the greatest feeling in the world!
Con mucho Amor
