Happy Birthday and MTC Life!!!

What's up everyone!!!

 I only have a few more days in the MTC, and then I'm headed to Macon, Georgia! How crazy is that?! 

Anyway,   MTC life is pretty good, they have wonderful teachers, and amazing devotionals.. and man does the time awkwardly fly by, if that makes sense. 

So you definitely learn a lot, if you're open and willing, which is like from 6:30am-10pm.

Occasionally you'll get really tired during the day. But I see no harm in sleeping away "daily planning session" .....I guarantee you will feel more awake and energized!!

So I have met some pretty cool missionaries, and no I'm not talking about myself haha but there are so many awesome Missionaries here to learn and teach with. 

There is just something about hearing the testimonies of over 30 missionaries in one room that makes you feel excited  and blessed. 

So I have never really been a hymn singing guy, partially because my voice sounds like a dying ostrich, well that's really the only reason.  But I do love hearing hymns.  I never really had a favorite hymn,  until being in the MTC ... so here it is

Hark, All Ye Nations!

Hark, all ye nations!  Hear heaven's voice

Thru every land that all may rejoice!

Angels of glory shout the refrain

Truth is restored again!

Oh how glorious from the throne above

Shines the gospel light of truth and love 

Bright as the sun, this heavenly ray

Lights every land today

Searching in darkness, nations have wept

Watching for dawn, their vigil they've kept

All not rejoice, the long nigh is o'er

Truth is on earth once more!

Oh how glorious from the throne above

Shines the gospel light of truth and love 

Bright as the sun, this heavenly ray

Lights every land today

Chosen by God to serve him below

To every land and people we'll go

Standing for truth with fervent accord

Teaching His holy word

Oh how glorious from the throne above

Shines the gospel light of truth and love 

Bright as the sun, this heavenly ray

Lights every land today

 Every time I hear this song, I am beside myself, not because it applies to me as a missionary but because of the  "gospel light of truth and love".    It  gives me a sense of peace, and hope.  How humbling is that?  The chorus is my favorite part. 

Anyways since it is my B-Day I need everyone to celebrate it!!! 

How do you do that?   

By being relaxed, chilling out, live a little, do something crazy because what's reward without a little risk? .... put yourself out there, and you will have a great day!
