Dear small humans,
Hello from the MTC! It's great
here. There's a lot of food and a lot of people speaking Korean.
(Technically a lot more languages are spoken here, but I only really
care about the Korean at the moment.)
So my mom (who's great,
you should cherish her) has asked me to talk to y'all about missions.
Unfortunately, I am currently in Missionary Boot Camp and cannot be with
you personally. But, I trust that my mom knows how to read, and so I
have this message for you.
Missions are
amazing. You know in sacrament meeting when you felt the Spirit as
everyone bore their testimonies? (I assume you felt it, as long as you
weren't just on your phones or eating your Cheerios.) Well you get to
feel the Spirit here like 24/7. And sometimes apostles come to speak,
just for you. That's crazy, man.
So on P-Day I
only have an hour to email people, so I'll close abruptly with some
advice: Always follow the commandments, and pay attention to how you
feel when you share the Gospel with people. Even if it's just a talk in
Primary, getting a feel for sharing the Spirit is a key part of
missionary work.
So since my teachers tell me
to always give a commitment, I'm going to give you all something to do
this week. It's like I'm your teacher giving you homework. But it's fun.
And there's no math. [Note to Mom: Wait for the kids to stop laughing
at my great joke before continuing.]
I want you to share
something about the Gospel with one of your friends or a member of your
family this week. Practice being a missionary now, and then in a few
years you can go out and serve just like me. (And maybe your language
will be easier than Korean.)
My Best Regards,
Elder Newton
