This week in the MTC there was a missionary presidents seminar there. Jeff said the prophet and all the apostles were there, although in another building, so he wasn't able to see them.
"elder mills and i have had some great experiences teaching. when the spirit teaches through you it is the coolest thing. its like everything just goes so smoothly when your teaching and you're not the one talking. our teachers say we are the best district they've ever seen and that we'll be powerful missionaries. they are pushing us hard to help us be the best so it's hard but good. we no longer are allowed to speak englilsh in class. if we do we have to do flexiones de brazos (push-ups). it's hard but i think it will really help me to learn it faster."
He is working in the referral center now and has had some good experiences so far, contrary to what he thought would happen.
"i've learned this week about the importance of members in missionary work. members can make such a huge difference! they help to fellowship and bear another testimony to the investigator. sometimes missionaries can seem like these perfect people(not true at all haha), but when you have members there bearing testimony they see that they are normal people just like them. so i encourage each of you to pray for opportunities to teach your friends and co-workers, you make such a big difference! i know this gospel is true and that christ knows each of us personally and is our friend. i love you all and wish you the best."
