Week One and Two: mtc

Well, I've made it a week here in the MTC. Two More and we'll be in oregon. Time progressivly gets faster and faster every day. And I'm starting to really enjoy it here. The food is awesome and even better than that is the Spirit. . I've definatley learned so so much and am learning more every day.

Yesterday was an especially great day, we went to the refferal center which is the number on all the pass along cards. so we make and take phone calls. Such a neat experiance talking to a real investigator and not a member posing as one. I was very nervous at first but i got more and more comfortable with it and placed a book of mormon while calling
some one to see if they had got a bible as the had requested. It was really cool bearing my testimony to someone real.

Also, last night we had Tad Callister from the 2nd quorom of the 70 come and talk to us about how to become a consecrated missionary. It was a cool meeting and we sat on the 2nd row. it was really cool.

Ive learned alot and have really begun to be able to remember scripture references and how to teach with the spirt according to the needs of the investigator. it is really cool. I know that the Lord is helping me learn and grow. Well my email address is ben.milligan@myldsmail.net so if you could, send that to all the family, i'd love to hear from them. many people are waiting to use the computer so i best be going.

Week 2:

Well another week has gone by. I'm leaving here in less than a week and am excited to get to oregon. Time has gone by so fast and it is really neat here. Last night Richard G. Scott came and talked to us. it was really neat. Well time is short, Gotta run love you all
