Dear Everybody,
Here in the MTC (CCM) we have a
saying; 'the days feel like weeks and the weeks feel like days' and that is
such a true statement!! It feels like I just wrote to you all yesterday!!
I just want to say that while that saying sounds like just a fun little
quote it is because of God's love for us that it is true! I mean think
about all the stuff you could learn if each day was a week!! We learn A
TON everyday!! Yet all of it goes by in a snap! We are given the
time to learn, yet the time still flies!! I love that!!
So last time I sent home mail I
said I was rooming with 3 others; well sadly now the two Elders (Elder White
and Elder Aurich) are leaving for the field! It is truly a sad day!
In the two weeks I've known them they have been such amazing role models
for me!! It's weird to think they're my age!!
My companion, Elder Despain, and I
have bonded so much it's insane! I don't think there is anything I
wouldn't do for him!! And he has such a strong testimony! That's another
great thing about it here; everyone has so much faith, and a testimony to go
with it!! We have on Elder (Elder Jackson) who has been a member of the
church 1 year and 5 months and he has already devoted his life to the Lord for
2 years!! He has so much faith it touches me everyday!!
So this past week (Friday-Saturday)
my district fasted for the whole district and one companionship specifically.
This companionship is made of an American who speaks English and a
Brazilian who speaks Portuguese and neither speak Spanish! They really
have it rough! But immediately after the fast we could see changes in
their behavior and confidence!! It's amazing how much God helps us!!
So in lesser news this week we had
our first noticeable Earthquake!! It was really cool!! And I just can't
help but love the people here!! Today while we were out buying stuff this
one girl walks up and asks if we are Mormon missionaries and asked how to get
to the church and such!! And another guys told us how impressed he was with how
we give up everything for Christ!! It's so nice here!!
I love you all, and really miss you
guys!!
Love,
Elder Forsgren
