MTC July 24

Elder DeLong has gotten his flight plans to leave for Chile. Sounds like a long trip, but one he has been waiting anxiously for.
"I'm soooo excited to get out of here and get to Chile! Oh! I got my flight plans yesterday! I leave Tuesday the 4th. My flight is at 2:50 but I leave the MTC at 11:30. Then I fly to Dallas and arrive at 6:30 and have a 3 hour layover (thats when I'll call you). Then I leave Dallas at 9:10 and fly all the way to CHile! lol. I'll arrive there at 7:45 in the morning. Long flight! I don't know how many time zones I'll be going through. But I am so excited! Yesterday we made the decision to speak no more english. English is dead to us, haha. It is so hard! But I'm glad we are doing this, I think it will help a lot!
Tuesday we had John H. Groberg talk to us (the man that "The Otherside of Heaven" is based on) and he gave an excellent talk. He talked on temples and serving others. As missionaries our main goal is bringing others to Christ, and Christ dwells in His temples. Our ultimate goal in life is acheieving eternal life and the only way we can do that is through the temple. (By the way I didn't get to go today because everything is closed for Pioneer day, weird huh?) But I just want to encourage all of you to attend the temple as often as you can. The other thing he talked about was helping others. He said make helping others a habit. Never pass up an opportunity to help one of your brothers or sisters. Charity is the pure love of Christ and if we want to be more Christ like we have to strive to have as much charity as we can."
Chao,Con Amor,Elder Jeffrey DeLong
