Hello my lovely friends and family. It's been a fantastic week here in the MTC. General Conference was so cool here. If I could take one thing from conference it would be humility. I heard that so much probably because I'm a missionary and that's pretty darn important if I want to be successful. So yeah. Humility is key. You have to put others first and think of yourself last. For those that aren't members, those talks from general conference are on lds.org. Or if you just want to know what general conference is all about go to that same website. I wrote down some language goals for the end of the MTC, 1 year in, and the end of my mission. Basically my total end goal is to have an accent with my English. I've already started to notice how hard it is to bear my testimony in English and I honestly don't like speaking English in class.
Another cool thing that happened this week was that the area seventy from the Democratic Republic of Congo showed up randomly and he knows like no English and he was just made a Seventy. He went from being a Sunday School teacher to being a Seventy. Him and his wife were so much fun to have in our classroom.
Also they're putting one of the final beams on the new MTC building and they let everyone here sign their name and mission on it. Upon hearing I could let everyone know how cool I was by permanently defacing an MTC beam, naturally I seized the opportunity. In the top picture my teacher Frère Vanderholm is standing next to me. He's sorta my idol right now. He served in Tahiti and was an assistant to the president for like a year. He's a great example to all of us and I love being taught by him.
Well that's about it. Je vous aime ( I love you all)
Love, Elder Christensen
