MTC Week #5



Hola!!!

I hope all of you are doing well! I am doing great and I am so excited to go to Nicaragua next Monday! I fly out at 8:30 and I'll get to Nicaragua at around 7:45 that night! Time has just flown by. The days seem to mesh together. It feels like it was two seconds ago that it was P-day last week! Oh, and today is my one-month mark! How crazy is that?! It just seems so weird that I only have 23 left. it makes me kind of sad too because I don't want to have it be over that soon. 
The MTC is still pretty much the same thing every day. It is still awesome though and I have learned so much. I continue to learn a lot about the Savior and his atonement. I am learning how to study (as you all know I'm not much of a studier), I am learning to love the scriptures (especially The Book of Mormon and the New Testament). I am learning more than ever to rely on God, and I learning to love as he does. It really has been a wonderful experience already. 
Oh, and for the Tuesday devotional Elder Anderson showed up. It was a great devotional and was really powerful. I love hearing the devotionals. They answer so many questions and bring the spirit in a massive way. My Spanish is going really well and I love learning it. I am not having to translate as much when my teacher or investigator is talking. I'm beginning to understand without thinking about it, and I am getting a lot better at the grammar. That being said, I still sound like a child. And I just can’t wait to get to Nicaragua and realize that I actually don't know Spanish. :) 
We have had some great lessons this week, I am learning so much. Sorry that I don't have a ton of details this week! When I get to Nicaragua I'll be shelling out a lot more! I love you all and I am so grateful for your support! Your prayers and thoughts help me every day! I know that God is our loving Father in Heaven, and He love all of us so much! Have an awesome week!

Love,
Elder Erickson
