Missionary Training Center- Week 2
I invite you to read the scriptures with new eyes. There is a tendency to read the same verses over and over, year after year, and never think of anything new. Find a new purpose, a question you’ve never had before. Experience the joy of having a new insight. Pray and know that that insight is true. Then share it!
This week I had to write a talk in Mandarin. I did as much of the characters as I could even though they don’t teach the characters here. I thought it would be good practice. I didn’t have to speak though, the speakers are chosen on the spot, or at least not revealed until Sunday.
Everyone keeps commenting on how I arrived at a peculiar time and arrived alone. They started saying that I have caught up to the class and have even passed some missionaries, so what a blessing! Surely this means that I ought to see what I can do to be a strength to those around me, meekly, lovingly.
One elder in my district had appendicitis and fainted suddenly. He had to go to the hospital and had surgery . Another elder in district got mono. Just some wild news.

A note from Elder Kyle's Mom...
Elder Pinkney ran into another Elder from our stake, who just entered the MTC this week. Elder Pinkney was able to help welcome this Elder to the MTC. Warms the heart!
