This is Elder Marrott's 1st Week
Update in MTC:
Hey Everyone!
It's
been a blast here at the MTC and I've loved every moment. It's weird being back
in Provo again and hearing the bell tower ringing. I makes me feel that I
should be going to my geology class. But the classes here are way more fun and
rewarding. The first couple days were really slow, and I didn't realize that I
would be here for 9 weeks. But the last couple days have flown by. All the
missionaries in my zone are super awesome because all have a desire to
have fun, but also learn as much as possible. Our zone leaders are Elder "General"
Mills and Elder Powell, they are great examples to us, but at the same
time they know to relate to all of us. There's a thing we say that whenever
someone says a really blunt fact or says that something
is awesome, we all scream, "I KNOW, RIGHT!" I love them
all. My companion Elder Carter is a very diligent and relaxed person, and
I've learned a lot from him. He has a strong connection with
his family and he loves to talk about his 4 year old sister. The two
other Elders in my District are Elder Taylor and Elder Barclay. I joke
around a lot with Elder Taylor and we're constantly thinking of
messing with each others heads. Elder Barclay is the most genuine person I've
ever met in my life. He's always wanting to find ways to
share his nutrition and physical therapy knowledge with
everyone. Overall I feel very at home here. The hardest part about
the MTC is remembering Spanish. It's not necessarily hard, but it's frustrating
when you remember about learning certain words and grammar, but not all the
specific details. I will say it's a lot nicer than learning it with no
background knowledge! I'm looking forward to speaking it
fluently.....eventually. Anyway I want to say to all
of you that we all can learn to become more like Christ as long
as we learn to "turn out" to people when most people would
"turn in." Always seek to follow Christ in every way,
and I know we can live happily.
Te amo
tanto!
Elder
