Life here at the MTC is just as busy but much more stable. I think I told you about my first investigator, Stephan, who we started teaching on our first Friday. We taught him four lessons and then he had to leave and go back to Montreal, but in just those four lessons we learned so much about how to teach well and had some amazing discussions with him. That being said, as I learn more and more about missionary work, I keep on realizing that we have so much more to learn. Starting Wednesday we will be teaching two lessons or more every single day for the rest of our time here! That's going to be intense! But it will make it easier to be prepared for going out into the field.         

We went to San Francisco on Tuesday, like I said, and that was a really great trip. We slept the entire way there and back (catching up) and then spent about 30 minutes at the French Consulate, so we had 3 hours after that to spend in San Fran. Our driver took us anywhere we wanted to go, so we went down to Pier 39 and walked along the area there.

 

One last thing. Last night we had the chance to watch a talk called The Character of Christ given by Elder Bednar at the MTC for the 2011 Christmas Day devotional. That was the best talk I think I have ever heard. He talked about turning outwards to help and care for others when the natural man would have us turn inwards and be selfish and self-absorbed

 

Je demande de Dieu de vous-beni avec le Saint-Esprit et des bon-heurs!

Je vous aime!
