Well guys....we are officially halfway done with the mtc.
Now onto bigger and better things.
This week was jam packed full of amazing things. For
starters, every Sunday night and Tuesday nights we have devotionals, and for
this last Tuesday night one we had Brother John H. Groberg come and speak to
us. Brother Groberg is the guys of which the movie The Other Side of Heaven is
made after. That missionary was him. Those were his experiences he had. He is
and amazing guy. In his talk to us he talked about testimonies. "Hoorah"
for Israel. That was one of the main points in his talk. He challenged us
"to go out on our missions yelling Hoorah for Israel. Go out and testify
to all you see. Throughout all the years of the church sending out missionaries
there is only thing that has been unchanged: sharing your testimony with
others. Your testimony is the greatest gift you can ever give someone. When you
share your testimony it strengthens theirs. Your influence and service to them
will make a difference in all you meet. There are many ways to share your
testimony (6 is what he talked about). 1. what you say 2. what you do. 3. what
we sing. 4 how we pray. 5. what we write. 6. who we are." in his movie there is a scene where they are
trying to get to an appoint with a family. The only way was a long journey on a
sail boat. The wind was stopped and the elders prayed to receive a tail wind.
They didn't get the answer to their prayer, but they never lost their faith in
God. Instead of not doing anything or get mad because of this, they realized
that maybe someone else needed a head wind and that was why they couldn't
receive a tail wind. They decided to get on the row boat and become the Lord's
wind. We too may at times have to be the Lord's wind.
Other than going to devotionals what have i done? Well we
taught lessons to our investigator, one of which was 1 hour long because she
needed to have that message. I love teaching our investigators they are so
amazing.
Also this week we have been condemning each other to Heaven.
Why? Well my mom sent us a bible version of Go Fish......so lets just say
things got crazy and everyone got upset when someone (Elder Pierce) stole your
card you needed. He stole mine like every time. It was unfair!!!
Our room has decided to make a missionary melody of frozen
songs. We are changing the lyrics to almost every song. Our goal is to finish
perform it before we leave the mtc in 3 weeks. It is coming along wonderfully.
My favorite one is to the tune of "Do you want to build a snowman?"
The title of it is "Do You Want a Book of Mormon" it goes like so: Do
you want a Book of Mormon? Come on let's go to church. We never see you
anymore. You've shut the door. It's like you've gone inactive. You used to have
a calling. In the primary. What are we going to do? Do you want a Book of
Mormon? It's just a Book of Mormon. (Investigator: Go away Elders/Sisters)
We'll be back.
Aren't we just the best!!!! Credit to the sisters for help
on that song.
Well that is all i have to say about this week Love you all
Love Elder Betts
P.S. Hump day celebration Picture for all you guys!!!!
