So no big changes here in the MTC. Elder Bergen leaves for the Philippines today however he won't get there till Thursday! A 15 hour plane ride and a 20 hour lay over es no bueno. With his leaving, we have the arrival of Elder Camp. I haven't had much chance to talk to him but he seems great. So as a part of our proud tradition of the class of 2009 filling the MTC we have begun "a brotherhood of the traveling tie" sort of deal. It was started by Elder Bergen and has only gone through Elder Hine, and now to me. Its one of those ties that is so ugly and weird (like really it looks so ugly) that its so cool! In the MTC your only option to accessories and attempt at least a slight form of individuality lies in your tie, making such an ugly different tie a prized posses ion. Fashion tip for any one back home: rock the paisley, it is all the rage! Seriously if you don't have a paisley tie something is wrong with you! Well I guess the only other change is my rapidly expanding waist! Its not that the food here is like so good, its just super unhealthy, and your so depressed from sitting in class all day you feel a constant need to eat, so then you get seconds then just sit on it and feel your self just grow in class, which makes you depressed... This is truly a vicious cycle that I fear there is no deliverance.
As far as huge epic life changing news goes, last Tuesday we had the incredible experience from hearing from an Apostle of the Lord! The dynamic hilarious Elder Jeffery R. Holland came and spoke at the MTC for a whole hour. His talk was so inspiring and he speaks in a way that just makes you want to be the best missionary you can be. However even more inspiring to me was the feeling of hearing from a man the Lord himself had chosen to be his disciple. Its sad what we take for granted in the church. No other group of people have the blessing of hearing from a group of men truly called by the lord to reveal his work unto us. It was just amazing to feel of his spirit, and witness his power as an Apostle.
God Bless,
Elder Morris
