Dear mom and Dad,
I figured I would send this email to the
both of you just in case. Sorry it took so long for me to email, but my P-day
was not until Thursday. I have to say that there is a lot that has been going on! It's to the point that it is hard to recap an entire day, let alone a week. I saw
Sister Waller last night and today, she is in my zone and her districts class
room is right next to mine. It was cool to see all the new people come in and remember
what it was like for me. It was like drinking from a fire hose. Right after
processing, they threw you right into it. Our 2 main classes are 3 hours each.
So far, the food has been pretty good and I have no complaints there. On Tuesday
we had our devotional at the Marriott center, it was the first one to be
televised live to other MTC's around the world. Elder Richard G. Scott of the
12 came and talked to us on prayer. The spirit from his talk is beyond
words. I do kind of wish I was learning another language now, only because when
he talked he gave an Apostalistic (sp?) blessing on all the missionaries learning
another language. It is amazing all the things that go on in here, spirit wise.
One of our teachers has be playing an investigator and each companionship goes
in a teaches him. We have been doing this for awhile now, and just the other
day he ran into some really tough times with his addiction that set him back a
bit, so after me and my companion talked with him, my companion wanted to give
him the blessing. We were really "lucky" that he had his oil and I had the cheat sheet! When it was over my companion was shaking and our teacher
had tears in his eye's, and he was not acting that part out. I wish I could
tell you more, and if I have enough time later I might send another email. In
short, we are all getting along very well and are all pretty good friends with
each other, and to Mom every one loves you Especially Elder Turnbow.
Love,
Elder Pena
