MTC Week 2

Hey Friends and Family!!! The MTC has been so fantastic! I am learning so much here! The teachers here are amazing and there is a ton of support everywhere you look! Thanks to all of you who have sent me mail! And for those of you who haven't yet, I hate you.... Hahahah i am totally kidding! But i don't have any of your addresses so please send me a letter if you would like one in return ;) But please make sure that you send them to the mission office (on an earlier post) because i fly to Albuquerque on Monday!!! Wahooo!
But things are so much fun here, I have gotten to know the people in my district (about 8-10 people who live next to me) and the people in my zone ( about 40 ish people on my floor)! It has been so much fun getting to know them! They are all good men! We are a little goofy at times, but we can still have fun and feel the Spirit! Fun story, one of the zone leaders, Elder Farr, is from Dubois, Idaho and he randomly brought a lasso to the MTC. And so during Prep time, I told him to see if he could lasso me and then I took off running down our residence hall. And naturally he tossed the lasso, it caught my foot and I face planted :) Afterwards we couldn't stop laughing and I had a pretty nice rope burn! :) :) but no concern I am totally fine! The MTC has been so spiritual but it hasn't been a total bore!

For any of you that are thinking about going on a mission any time soon, a word of advice: Read Preach My Gospel!!! I was surprised at how much more there was to that book outside of the lessons! I promise that if you want to be a better missionary that's the key!
We also do a ton of role playing here where we practice extending invitations, practice what we want to say, and weirdly enough you can still feel the Spirit even by practicing with them!
For the role play, we are teaching two investigator: Emma, and Jose! In the role plays we get to teach an actor the lessons and address any concerns they might have! It is so cool!

But all in all, things are still great! I hope to hear from you all and thanks for reading!
Love,
Elder Guymon!
