1) the bright sun and cool breeze
2) the practice we get at the TRC, asking questions
3) the Spirit of love and friendship at the MTC
4) the goals I can look forward to after my mission
5) the reality that I am here!!! A missionary!!!
run - 20 minutes at the most; 35 push-ups
I think it will be so fun to go back and read those "attempts" at journal entries in Russian!
Ya know, I'm excited to be learning a language and seeing a whole different part of the world, and yet I totally know that those aren't reasons enough to be a missionary.
I am here at the MTC to prepare more fully to teach the gospel, granted, in another tongue... but that's just a means to an end: the great end of eternal life with my brothers and sisters. I pray that I can pursue this goal worthily and with full purpose of heart. I know it's not an easy thing and hence my motives have to be right or else they won't last...
I'm so grateful for the gospel -- I want to share it with everyone! Cectpa Bepi
