Called To Serve: Week Five:Last Week in the MTC, 4 Days Til Mexico

Please excuse the terrible photography, but we found a Praying Mantis on the Temple grounds so i felt like i needed to pray with it in front of the Temple.

We got our flight plans last Friday and I'm stoked! We get up at like 3am and leave from Salt Lake to Phoenix. We have a layover in Phoenix for an hour from 8am to 9pm so be expecting a call to moms cell phone around that time pacific time (i think) we then leave from Phoenix to Guadalajara and get there around 2 pm. i have no clue what time zone its in, but that's when ill get there.

SEPARATE EMAIL:
Its so weird that i will me in mexico in 5 days! i leave early monday morning and arrive in guadalajara at about 2pm. im super excited, but at the same time i dont feel like im ready enough. i guess i just have to put my trust in Heavenly Father and know that he will help me.

This week was pretty a pretty normal week at the MTC. We skyped a girl who was in Panama and taught her a quick lesson. it was pretty cool to talk to someone from latin america who had a native accent.

Tuesday was our last devotional and everyone thought that we were going to hear from an apostle, but it ended up being Joseph W. Sitati and his wife. I was totally okay with that because they were from Kenya and they had great accents. They emphasized a scripture in 1 Timothy that says something like "be thou an example of the believers.. let no man despise thy youth..." something like that haha im not exactly sure what it says entirely, but i really like it because i know when i get to guadalajara people are going to try to tell me off because im just a 19 year old kid. Even though im only 19, i know i have a message that people need to hear and people are waiting to hear. No matter what people say, i know why im out on a mission and i know that i want everyone to hear the Lord's message.

Sorry this email is so short, but nothing exciting happened this week. it was pretty a pretty average week. sorry!
