Hey Everyone another week and its starting to go fast.
What a week learning a lot more about the gospel and teaching. As draining as the MTC is (because all we do is study all day lol) I'm grateful for being able to grow as a missionary and a person within the last 3 weeks being here. My last P Day in the mission and I just want to relax. Went out and did splits with the missionaries of the Auckland Mission and had a little taste of what door knocking would be like lol. It was a great humbling experience to get rejected and doors slammed in my face lol we went to Otara as run down as broken as it is jks. We met some good people who were wanting to hear the gospel and getting rejected 7 times before meeting them just made it so much better. Met some missionaries from back in Brisbane Sister Ryter and Sister Ete as well as one from Utah who knows my Purcell family in West Valley.

Attended the temple again yesterday and it's true what they say everytime you go you learn something new, it's such a great experience at the temple and the grounds itself is beautiful. Learning more about the tribe of Levi and their purpose and blessings which I'm excited for. One of our elders in our district got an "emergency transfer" as he was waiting for a VISA to serve in Birmingham England. They wanted him to leave as soon as it came through and start MTC again in England instead of finishing it here, after growing fast bonds with everyone it was hard saying goodbye. It made us think, man imagine how we'll be when our 2 years is up, how it will feel to go home. I will be guttered. When you get lost in the work of the Lord and the service of his people time will fly.
I'm going to miss evreyone in the MTC but excited to meet the many people I will come in contact with, learn the culture of the land and the food
lol. I'm getting so fat here lol I've gained 10kgs since being here, even though the food is "meh". I've gotta train and hope I'm in an area where I can just bike ride everywhere. My companion is awesome we are so much the same it's good and bad. Good that we get along like boys everything is algoods, but bad that we lose focus easily and just crack up laughing over nothing. Even though I hope we become companions on the field.

Well I'm out of time wish I could write more but this MTC is strict as lol need to be thoughtful cause theres too many fresh fobs here who are asking for a hiding, but the Lord is helping me to be more humble lmao. I'll hear from you guys in 2 weeks on Monday when I'm officially on the field.
Love you all and can't wait to hear from you guys!
