First Email from the MTC

Our little Elder has been busy the last week, but not so busy that he didn't have to time to write home. (I know, it's required...but still) On Saturday, the family got it's first letter from Elder Rushforth! That was pretty exciting...and mostly full of house keeping stuff, you know, "My companion is...We had (blank) for dinner..." Stuff like that. Yesterday we got an email, it's pretty short, but I thought I'd share it with you all. As a missionary, he's only allowed to email to families, so, when appropriate, I'll copy and paste the email's contents here on the blog. (As a Side Note, I'm not going through and correcting his grammar and spelling, you get to read it raw like I did.) Happy Reading...

I love the MTC it is a blast and the spirit is amazing!! I love the food aswell. I thought that have school and work was a full schedule but the MTC definitely is harder but much much more fun. Every second we are studying thegospel no wonder the spirit is so amazing! This past sunday my companionactually got sick so from 2:30-8:30 I was in my room studying as my companionslept. I was greatful for this time though because it gave me the opportunityto reflect on what I have been doing for the passed few days. I was able thestudy the difference between the Light of Christ and the Holy Ghost which, isactually something that many people get confused I definetly did until I studythem. Do you know the difference of the Light of Christ and the Holy Ghost? MyDistrict is amazing Elder Ord my companion is very out going and loves talkingto everyone! Elder Hord and Elder McConkie are the brightest elders I know,Elder Bair is so funny and kind to everyone, Elder Warner is very wise in thegospel and so loving, and Elder Burgin has such a great testimony and truly knows how to teach with the spirit. I am so greatful for this experience andfor the knowledge I am learning from all the Elders. Hope you all are doingwell!! Have Fun and know that Heavenly Father loves you all!! Think about howhas Heavenly Father shown his love for you this weeek?
Love,
Elder Rushforth
