This week was interesting to say the least. Pray for all those who reside here for longer than 3 weeks because I am ready to get out. My advice for anyone going into the MTC is to make the most of anything and everything. Sometimes, I did not want to teach J.C. one more thing about repentance, but I have continued to grow by keeping a good attitude. Elder Parker in my district is the best at this. He always smiles at everyone, and it's the best. Smile more!
Since I leave to Colorado this week, I will just share some thoughts on the MTC:
1. My district is the best but also the worst (really the best). The only way to make it through the MTC is to become best friends with the district. The two other districts in our zone are split elders v. sisters, and it's the worst.
2. Teachers are a mixed bag. We had some awesome ones, but some people just get lucky. All the other teachers who come to our class say we have the best one, so that's cool.
3. Ask good questions. Relationships grow so much quicker if you just ask the real questions. Everyone in my district struggled to get out here in the first place, and by asking questions, we have grown much closer.
4. Listening is one of the most powerful tools to make someone feel loved. Everyone here just needs a little love.
5. If anything, I really learned more about people than teaching. People are great but also all different. Love them equally.
6. If your class is only four people make the most of it.
Can't wait to talk again in a week and a half. My pday will be on Tuesday in the field.
Much love,
Elder Bodine
