Elder Nathan Stagg: MTC Week 6

Well everyone, its been 6 week here the MTC!!! The MTC is a really cool place and i love it! but lately ive been realizing just how much Korea is! lol I am 3 weeks away from leaving! And am so excited to do so! On Monday the older Koreans left and today we get new ones! so we are now officially the senior group in the Korean branch! And we are one of the top dogs in the MTC! This week has been fun, when you are here for 9 weeks you start to get bored and do some crazy things to have fun ill explain some of the things we did later!

So my cousin chastized me the other day and told me I need to write in my journal more! so ive done a little better lately! So last Wednesday after we finished soccer i walked in to take a shower and found half my district shaving there legs... so after some talking and bribing they finally convinced me to do it! So our whole entire district shaved our legs! haha Elder Johnson was really bad at it and was bleeding everywhere which made him cut himself worse! haha ill show pictures at the bottom! I also got a huge package from my parents today full of food and treats and ramen noodle! My companion also got a package full of microwavable thailand noodels! so that night we sat down to noodles and mountain dew! ahhh I love the MTC!

Then on thursday I got a package from my grandparents of just straight food! So ive been eating like a king! although im not sure if its gonna last! Thursday night it poured and i mean poured!! So we all ran back inside and got out of our suits and ran around in the rain., jumping in puddles for like 30 minutes! the only problem was is that it was so cold we could see our breath! So now 3 elders in our district our sick! haha but it was so worth it!

So on Friday we had a lesson by our teacher about how to recieve divine questions! We need to use heaven to our advantage! We need to be intune with the spirit so we can receive the questions that will make them think! We learned that we need to stop sometimes to think of a divine question because that can make the difference! I need to work on that definitly but it was such a cool lesson!

Saturday we had to teach our teacher the law of Chastity... that was fun!! to make it even worse my korean failed me and i told him some very wrong doctorine on accident! LOL i love all the mistakes that we make because of the language! Ive shared a lot of those already but the other day Elder Bunker told there investagator that christ crucified all the jews, then elder johnson told him that after christ died he got ressurected and elder bunker said after he got ressurected he conntinued to crucify everyone! haha he kicked them out! but its better that that happens here then in the field! haha good times

Sunday we said by to all the elder leaving to korea, we had a great devotional! Sundays are just awesome because its so peaceful and your brain gets a break from the korean language! yay!

Monday we had our TRC's but didn't know we did so we went in completely unprepared! And since we have been here for 7 weeks they are now actual koreans and they are real life investagators!! It was cool to see how much the spirit helped me teach! we had no prep time and i was able to go in there and teach about the B.O.M and he committed to read moroni 10 and pray about it! it was awesome!

Well i am out of time so real quick here are some qoutes!
