Halfway Point (MTC)

Howdy Friends and Family,

This week was great, as usual.  And my time is brief on the computer, so this e-mail will be too. :)

In shocking news, I got to go on a field trip across the street to the BYU Student Clinic, because my companion hurt his ankle and we needed to get an x-ray.  Luckily it was just a sprain and he is healing quickly. The Lord does bless his servants.

Other than the field trip, it was a regular week in the MTC.  I reached my halfway point on Wednesday.  Exciting.... But crazy.  Time flies by fast in the MTC.  I have been learning and growing a lot.  I have learned that the only way to have a good day or lesson or life is to choose to have it.  The day is here, so it is time to seize it!  We must make the choice to become better and to have the Spirit, and as we live worthily and humbly, the Lord will bless us to achieve our righteous desires.

K. Brett Nattress came to speak on Tuesday night.  He started by asking: "What think ye of Christ?" I love that question - what do I honestly think of Christ.  It is a great question to ponder.  He then continued to say that Christ has commanded us to be like Him.  It is the ultimate goal, so we have much to do.  I testify that Christ is perfect and that He loves us perfectly and that through Him we can return to God, to be in a state of perfect righteousness and happiness.  I know that He loves us and will support us!

The gospel is real, the church is true to the gospel, the prophets lead the church according to the desires of God.  God will support us if we humbly ask Him.  He is all-knowing, all-powerful, and all-loving.

I love you all!  Thank you for your prayers, thoughts, and support!

Keep the faith!
Hurrah for Israel!

Love you,
Elder Weenig
