Preston MTC

Hey all,

Where the First Missionaries Stayed

Wow this has been such an awesome week. The MTC does get a little repetative doing the same thing over and over again everyday but this week I was able to do a lot of different things which was cool. 

Thursday we as an MTC went on a church history trip of the sites in Preston where the first missionaries of the church served there missions and where thousands were converted to the gospel. It was cool to see all of the different sights and then at the River Ribble where the first converts were baptized we had a race across the bridge because that is what people did to be baptized they race to go first, I have to say that sadly I didn't win but i didn't take last and we can just leave it at that, I would say if it was a mile I would have had more fair of a shot.

The rest of the week was pretty normal except Sunday again was amazing and the place is just filled with the spirit and it really is a special day of peace and rest.

Then last night we were able to go and to watch the last dress rehersal of the pageant and we also participated and did our part, in the performance the spirit was so strong and it made me excited to get out and serve the people of Greece and bring the good message of the gospel. Then our part for the pageant is at the end and we participate by singing called to serve and a couple of other songs and it is just so awesome because everyone is filled with the spirit so it is cool to see it on the faces of those watching and I am so excited to be able to do it for the next two weeks and hopefully it makes them go by just that much faster. No offense to the MTC but sometimes it does feel a little cramped and I just want to get out.

Running this week was not as good as the last I seemed to have run everyone out that would run with me and so now when we go they say that I can come but they have to be in front so I don't make them go to fast I will say it is still good to get out but I do really miss running so hopefully tomorrow we will get more runners coming into the MTC so I can find a running buddy. 

Tomorrow all the english speaking missionaries leave and then we get more in than leave so it will feel a little cramped because we go from like 45 missionaries to 75 but than that doesn't compare what happens in another three weeks president Bunker said that the MTC is going to have like 112 missionaries that is going to be like a madhouse but I guess we will just have to see how it goes. 

Αγαπώ,
