Week 6-Happy P-day

Dear Family, 
Today is my last P-Day at the MTC, next Tuesday morning I depart for the East mission! It's crazy to think I'll finally be going, but I'm glad my stay at the MTC is now commencing, its time to go to work!

So yesterday we went on Splits with Missionaries in the west mission! My companion for the day was Elder Tobierre from a British island here in the Caribbean called Santa Lucia. He is one of three converts in his family and sounds like the only one active in the church. He's been a member for only two years but he has a powerful testimony of the Gospel. He told me Obedience is the Key to Success in the Mission! We bested the Burning sun and an army of mosquitos and contacted Eight people, and taught two lessons. I was able to share one of my favorite scriptures, pray, and testify in my broken Spanish. I understood a little less then half of what was said, maybe, but it was great! The people here are very kind and also enjoy skipping syllables, I'm not sure they even breath between sentences. Anyways, afterwards we returned to the MTC and ate lots of food!

This past Tuesday, Our devotional speaker was Elder Sivic, a member of area presidency. He and he's wife talked about testimony and planting the seed of faith in good soil. Elder Sivic spoke about the parable of the sower and invited us to consider, what type of soil are we planted in? Is it good Earth and are we nourishing our roots? I believe my roots have a lot more growing to do. He and his wife were awesome. I also played the piano for the devotional, may have freaked out a little bit but I made it through, whew. 

Here are a few pictures, Hermana Romney took us up on the roof again to see the Sunset!( Were basically her favorites, Just kidding, but really, anyways) The first one is all my district and the new two sister missionaries.





 This last one is an unfinished sky-scraper!
I love you all, thanks for your prayers!
Love, Elder Call
