Last letter from the MTC

Three more days and then I'll be in Oklahoma! Wow reading that aloud sounds so strange yet so exciting. It feels like we just got here! So this week a lot of stuff happened, from hosting new missionaries, to teaching our Nigerian friend, Indongesit, the gospel, to going to infield orientation yesterday and then going to the provo temple this morning. It has been a long but very fulfilling and spiritual week!

I've started to really grow accustomed to this place so the thought of leaving it in a couple of days is very strange to me. But I am very excited to get going on the Lord's work. Just think about it, next Sunday, I'll be giving my testimony in some foreign church in Oklahoma, getting to know the ward and it's members! The weird thing is that I do not feel intimidated. And sure the MTC has helped and I've learned a lot, but I'm starting to realize that teaching the gospel is something that just comes to us as members of the church. After growing up in the church, I already know the things to teach. Plus the Spirit helps testify and make the truth of the gospel real and powerful for both me and the investigator. D&C 84:88 has made the biggest impact though, stating that God will be with me as I go and do what he needs me to! Love you guys!

Love,
Elder Wold
