Hi family!
There are officially only 3 more days until I leave for Georgia!!! I am both excited and scared. I have actually loved this week here at the MTC and have learned so much! I feel like I have definitely learned a Lot about the Charity of Christ and have actually grown to love my district and the couple of people we have taught so much! It’s definitely going to be hard to leave them, but it’ll be worth it!
This week, there was a helping others appointment (teaching appointment) where we were able to teach someone named rob, and well fun story about one of the people that we got to teach. To start, there was this investigator that Sister Stucki and Sister Woodall taught, where there was someone that they really wanted us to teach, because he was fun/good/hard to teach? All of my district thought that it would be a good idea to go ahead and teach him because we could help him come closer to christ. We made a goal as a district to help him, and long story short, we all scheduled appointments with him on Friday, where we booked his entire day. We officially met Rob at dinner one night, and then Elder Messerly and I saw him on our way to a different one of our appointments. We stopped to talk for a minute, and well, it turns out Rob made a bet with some of the other investigators to try to get missionaries do silly or wierd things for them. Namely, he wanted to get missionaries to sing to him. We talked to our district, and they all hopped on board and had a nice Devotional with him and sang and filled his schedule. Whether or not he was a member, I hope that he could feel District 14-D’s love for him :).
My scripture for this week is going to be Alma 32:21
“And now as I said concerning faith—faith is not to have a perfect knowledge of things; therefore if ye have faith ye hope for things which are not seen, which are true.”
I know that if you have faith, even when it is hard, then you will be able to accomplish literally anything. I know if that I wouldn’t be where I am right now if it hadn’t been for faith. My faith has grown so much in the last few weeks, and I absolutely love it!!
I love you all, and hope you are having a good week! Elder Claussen
