"Best Way To Wake Up" - Settling Into The MTC

Hola a todos!! ¡¿Como están?! 

This week has been so great, I got to the Provo MTC on Wednesday and it has been so amazing. 

Elder Rhodes

On Monday we had classes online still, and then Tuesday and Wednesday were travel days so I was able to go to the temple Tuesday morning with Charles and my dad and step mom which was amazing as always. We got food at Tushar and they gave me free food since I am a missionary which was super nice I am so grateful for all the love that has been shown.

On Wednesday I got into the MTC and I got to meet my companion, Élder Adam's, which was so nice it was so crazy to see everyone in person. He is the best compañero I could ask for and so is mi distrito.

The first morning me and Élder Carpenter set two different alarms and it was super funny to wake up to them. I personally chose "Circus" and Élder Carpenter chose "Baby Waltz" 😂 I woke up a little before cause my watch is like 30 seconds ahead so I heard "6:30am alarm" in a robot voice and then the alarms went off 😂


It has been so great to be here, the Spirit is so strong, it's like being at the temple all day every day. I have definitely seen the Lord's hand in every second of every day. I was able to read and translate the whole Book of Mormon Introduction from Spanish to English, and I know that it wasn't from me that I was able to do that. When I have prayed in Spanish, words have come to my head that I didn't know before, but I knew what they meant somehow. The gift of tongues is real.


I've also been able to see a bunch of people I know which has been super cool. I saw an Elder from my stake, and Elder Aidan Reyes, and Elder Andrew Jensen, and Elder Austin Harding, and Sister Kaylani Dougal, and I'm hoping to see some more Elders and Sisters.

We have been able to play basketball and volleyball and it's been super fun, my companion and my district is super good at basketball so its been great. I have seen so many miracles and felt the Spirit so strongly that if I were to describe it all I would take up my whole P-Day. I love you all and I know that the Lord loves you more than you can comprehend.
