Week 2

Hello friends and familia!!!!
oh man, can you believe that I'm almost done at the mtc? i'm a veteran here now! Ya, i'm flying out on monday to pennsyvlania!!! I can't believe it's already here!!! Aaahh! The real part of my mission is coming!! But guess what? We are allowed to call home at the aiport, to let you know that I'm safe and everything. So i'll either call home at like 7:00 in the morning from SLC or at about 12:30-1:00ish from Cincinnati! I hope either of those times work for you! 
So I actually had a pretty cool "real" missionary experience the other day. We were at the referrel center on Tuesday...where people who have gotten pass a long cards call in to recieve DVD's or books....and this man called in who randomly found a card and just needed to talk to us! He actually is in a lot of spiritual pain! He was telling us how even though he's not going to hurt himself, he doesn't see any point in living. He is a very religious man. Not church going because he says all the churches are just trying to take money from him, but he reads the bible and prays all the time. So my companion and I started talking to him about how our Heavenly Father does have a plan for us and that we are on this earth so we can become like Him and be worthy to live with Him again. He totally understood that and we told him that we would get missionaries to his house as soon as possible (in FL). Usually it takes a couple weeks for missionaries to get the referrel, but when we called him the next day just to talk, he told us the missionaries were coming to visit him that day! Amazing!!! Our prayers were answered!!! When we talked to him yesterday, he told us he wants to read the Book of Mormon and told us that he has heard of joseph smith and he believes he is a prophet. We also asked him to go to church this coming sunday and he committed to go!!! Doesn't this sound all too good to be true???? I pray that he stays committed!!! he does have a problem with the word of wisdom but he knows he needs to stop! So that is one step to getting better! Talking to him seriously sends shivers down my spine! He's more than ready to be a member! It's so amazing and miraculous how he just fell into our laps! But I sure do love it! This is what gets me excited about missionary work. :) 
Other than that, things are going well still and time is flying by! Aaahh, i'm actually leaving on Monday!!! That's crazy talk. 
I'm sorry my emails are so scattered! 30 minutes is really not enough time to write to you! But I love, love, love you! Thanks for your love and support! Bye!!!
