Well, I never thought I'd see the end of the MTC, but I leave tomorrow morning! It's been an experience here that I'll remember for the rest of my life for sure. I don't think I'll ever spend 6 weeks in the same area with the same people in a classroom all day like I have here, and while it's been boring and hard at times, I'm going to miss it. But, I'm also very excited to get out into the field this week and start to feel like a real missionary!
Not too much has happened this week, just class as usual. It's been a harder for me at times, I've been a little sick and a little homesick as well, which isn't the best combination haha. But I've been pushing through it, and hopefully a change of scenery and doing some real missionary work this week can help me out!
I leave tomorrow morning at 7 for Cote d'Ivoire, then have a 4 hour layover there before flying over to Cotonou. I'm excited for the opportunity to actually get out there and lose myself in the work, and start to help people come to Christ. I've said the MTC was just another 6 weeks before I could start my mission, but now that I'm here, the mission starts now! I'm excited, even if it's in French haha.
I'm grateful for this gospel, and I know this church is true! I was thinking this week about how blessed I am to live at this time with the Restored Gospel on the Earth, because I'm so happy because of it! I can't imagine my life without the gospel, so I've been very grateful this week to be born at this time with the gospel on the Earth. I'm excited to share that happiness with other people!
I love you all and hope you have a great week!
