All is Well. Bwai ni kabene Raoiroi

This past week and a half here at the MTC has been a very different experience for me. At first I was optimistic about being at the MTC and then i realized just how much I had back at home and things started to get to me. I found out I had said why i was going on a mission all the time before I left, but now that I was here it seemed like i didn't. As these days have gone by I have come to realize 3 things of many in particular. 1. The food absolutely wrecks you, ugh. 2. I know now why I am here I can feel it and I know it. 3. The Spirit is always with us even when we feel utterly alone. I can not explain by any other way why I am so content with being here for another 5 weeks other than the spirit, I want more than anything still to get to the islands dont get me wrong the MTC is hard, but I know there is so much more out there, there is so much to take place ahead of me. Yes the food isn't the greatest, sure two 3 hour classes and one 4 1/2 hour class almost everyday is boring and crazy, but I have learned so much while being here. When i first got here i thought just make it through the MTC and you'll be fine, but if I did it like that i wouldn't. As i searched for God once more in my life to become closer to Him seeing He was the only one in my immediate presence that could help and quite possibly the only one who could help, i came to know him. I saw his angels which he sent to bear me up. I have felt the joy of heaven here and the day for me to leave is going to come too fast. I felt inadequate when i arrived and maybe i was right, but we all are really that's why we must turn to Christ He makes up the other half and all of the sudden I can start to feel maybe i am not so inadequate after all. I can do this. I know our Savior live and He is with us alway. I may not feel prepared as Scot to teach and speak Kiribati in 6 weeks, but He is and with Him I am. I love you all and I know that there is a plan for each of us as is there a lifeline permanently there for each and everyone of us we must but clear the fog away by humbling ourselves and asking in prayer for it. I miss you all, but i am doing well for I am in the presence of My God.
