MTC July 3

Elder DeLong continues his training to leave for Chile. The time is starting to get long in the MTC, but his attitude is great. He knows that he is preparing to teach the people in Chile. He hopes his friends here in MN that he gave a Book of Mormon to before he left have started to read it.

On July 4th the Elders in the MTC watched fireworks. Jeff was able to be with his friend Peter Howard & Taleah Howard, who have been his friends in MN. He and Peter were roommates at BYU and have been in choirs together since high school. What a great thing to be at the MTC at the same time.



"It amazes me that I've been here for a month already! It feels like I've been here for years haha. I am very anxious to get down to Chile. I feel like my mission hasn't really even started yet. Spanish is tough, next week (and from then on) we have to teach only in spanish. Ah! It's going to be super difficult, but I'll make it through
I guess we get to watch fireworks on Saturday, but we'll see haha. I hope so, that's be a nice change. Know that I'm doing well. We've been teaching a lot lately and the Spirit has really been with us because we've been preparing and praying for it. It's been really great. I love you all and hope to hear from you soon."
Love,Elder Jeffrey DeLong
