Hey everyone! Fridays are Carl's P-days! So here is Elder Hanley's first email! :)
So, day 3 of my mission, and things are going good. The classes are going good, and I have a cool companion, Elder Didericksen, is really cool.
We are kept pretty busy here at the MTC, but I'm Ok with it. I enjoy the classes, and have been feeling the spirit in almost all of them. The only time I struggle with is when they give us study time. I'm still not amazing at studying, though I have found some really cool stuff while studying. (More on that later)
The food is fine. Honestly, I guess I was expecting food from a five-star restaurant or something. The food is just fine. The other missionaries in my class are all really cool, and we're already really good friends.
So, I have been stressing a little bit about the length of the mission, but I'm getting through it. Today in class, I was studying, and I found a scripture in Alma that said something along the lines, "Go, my son, and preach the gospel to this people." I feel bad for not having my scriptures on me to check the actual quote, but it was a really great spiritual moment, and I just started crying. I felt like God was saying the words directly to me, and it was just really spiritual and emotional.
I accidentally left the cord to my camera in my room, so I don't have it with me at the moment. I will send pictures next week, when I write again. Don't fret, you'll see pictures soon.
Even though I'm kind of scared still, I know this is where I'm supposed to be. I love you all, and thank you all so much for all the support you give me!
Love,
Elder Hanley
