Hey Everybody this is Elder Shumway. This is my first week in the MTC. You can definitely feel the spirit tremendously here. We have been very busy here going to classes and preparing lessons. My companion is great his name is Elder Weston. Things are going really well with me and him. My District is pretty much the best District in the MTC in my opinion. We have four sisters who are all going to Tallahassee Florida. There are a total of six Elders. Four of them are going to Philadelphia and two Elders who are going to Billings Montana. We really have a great time. We laugh a lot and make jokes. We have only been together for only a few days but we are really getting to know each other a lot better and really grow in our friendships. The food here is really bad in my opinion. I try to eat as little as possible just so I can kind of feel full. I really haven't been getting to much sleep here because we have so little time to ourselves. But I am really enjoying myself here.
Something happened Thursday night which I was not expecting. We all had a meeting as a zone and each of us bore our testimonies and told everybody about us and where we are from and where we are going to serve our mission. Then we were interviewed by a member of the presidency. I must have done really well on both cause I was made district leader!!!!! I was not expecting to be one. Now my responsibility just got a little more increased.
Today we are supposed to prepare a lesson and teach an investigator. I hope that goes well. This morning we were assigned to do service but once we got to where we were assigned all of it was already done so that was really awesome.
The spirit is so strong here. Being a missionary for only a few days I can really feel myself changing. Last night when I was going to bear my testimony I had the whole thing planned out and I go up there and the stuff I was going to say wasn't even what I said. I know that the spirit was telling me what to say and obviously I listened cause now I'm a district leader. I love you all. I know this church is true and the Holy Ghost does help us when we need it.
P.S. I will send some pictures next time I email. :)
