Hola Familia!!!!!! Que pasa??
Life in the MTC has been great so far. I feel like I have been in here a month, but its only been a week. So i'm sent you a letter last friday i think and yes today is my pday. Hump day baby, exactly when i wanted it. I'm doing good. So far I haven't found any thing that ihave forgot. I think i will be ok because i can get pretty much whatever i need in the bookstore. Thanks for all the birthday wishes and wirting on dear elder. it made this past week great. Without including dear elder, i got about 28 letters or birthday cards. it was really comforting to know how many people are thinking about me and praying for me!! Oh and mom, i got the package on monday. THANKS!!! Also, could you send me grandma and grandpa daly address and john and michelle address. thanks. Cory, keep me uptodate with the world cup!! gracias! And thats good to hear the woodpecker is quieter. that is one blessing about not being there, I don't have to listen to that pest!!! Hey could you send Kevin's emails to me via dear elder. I would love ot have em!! And how did cassie's talk go on sunday???
So my room is great!! I really like the other companionship in my room. they are great examples!!. My companion is Elder Cole. He is from Cedar Hills, but has lived all over the US, kinda like me. This week has been kinda hard tho. He hurt his ankle so he was on crutches a couple days so it was hard to be on time and get to class. It is getting bettr tho. I am learning a great deal of patience. I feel like we can work harder but its hard sometimes to get him motivated and working hard. I feel like i am always taking the iniciative, so i really want him to work on leading the companionship. But I want to work hard and be obedient, so I have been trying to make sure we are. BUt i really do love him and am glad he is my companion. Its good for me to have to learn patience and that every companion isn't going to be easy.
I started the BOM sice I have been here and it is awesome. I have been keeping a study journal as i read and i really feel that i have had some cool insights to the BOM and different scriptures. I was in 1 nephi 3:4-7 and something really struck me. It talks about how they went into the house of laban to obtain the records and to bring them into the wilderness and that his brothers murmered but nephi didn't. I thought about how im in the mtc obtaining the knowledge i need to take it out to the lost people of mexico. and that when i dont murmer i am in the Lords favor. and just like 3:7 says, the Lord has prepared the way. I just have to go and do. I have had a great increase in faith since i have been hear. I can see that when i am working hard and being obedient and being deliegent in evreything i do, I can see how the Lord is preparing me and that he is preparing mexico. I have found a lot of strength in the Lord as I look unto in all my thoughts and everything I do. D&C 6:33--37 has brough me a lot of strength.
Sunday was really good. Priesthood is in english but sac mtg is in spanish. But i did prepare my first talk in spanish. hopefully they get better as i learn. MY spanish is coming along. I have seen that the gift of tongues is a very real thing. I already know how to pray and can bear my testimony in spanish and it has only been a week!!!
Sunday night firesides and tuesday devotionals are great. Tueday we had Donald L. Hallstrom form the presidencey of the 70. He was great. It was exactly what i need to hear about the lord is with you and preparing you. And how i can give my heart and will to the Lord. Very powerful!!!
Well the time is running out and i want to make sure it sends. I love you guys and i pray for you!! I hope that mom has had a great time at girls camp and that things worked out. She has been in my prayers a lot. Thank you all for writing on dear elder. I LOVE IT!!! So please keep doing it. I miss you all!!!!
Te Amo Mucho,
Elder Glover
