YAY!!! We FINALLY got our first letter from CC since he went into the MTC. We have been on pins and needles waiting to hear from him. It's been a hard wait because we can't call him. Anyway, I just thought I'd share his letter with everyone. NOTHING brings more joy to a parent than to watch your children learn, grow and mature in the gospel and to read letters like this one:
my time is limited so i may not be using the best grammar and punctuation. how is everyone doing? i sent a letter out either yesterday, or the day before, im not entirely sure. the days feel like weeks and the weeks feel like days. ill be sitting in class and ill say 'hey remember yesterday when...' and a missionary will say 'that was this morning!' its been a blast so far. at the moment, im sitting at the computer, waiting for laundry to get done, and eating a salad with no utensils because a fellow missionary broke my fork. on purpose.
the mtc is what you make of it. ive had days that were very spiritual, and days that were not so spiritual. the rules make sense!
this morning, i went to the temple and i've felt better and more spiritual than i have since i went the first time.tay have had something to do with the fact that we walked very fast to the temple because it was cold, and i wasn't fighting fatigue during the ceremony (the entire time anyways). Going to the temple awake and alert is the way to go!
my testimony has been greatly strengethened these past few weeks, and i cannot wait to get out into the field. i've realized now more than ever that we should constantly be trying to change and improve - treating every sacrament meeting like it's our baptism. we should be doing all of the things (and more) we ask of our investigators. i know this is God's work and he does help, bless, and provide comfort and prosperity to His children, especially those who seek Him earnestly. prayers may not always be answered in the way we want, which has been the cause of much of my frustration, but they will be answered and we will be delivered. i know that Jesus is the Christ and that He lives, and He is at the head of this church. He and His Father in Heaven love us all and know us by name. All of the Holy Scriptures - the Book of Mormon especially - will improve our behavior and our lives and bring us closer to God. I says these things in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
Love you guys! Write back!

wow sis! That is awesome! He really seems to be fully understanding the gospel and what his responsibilities are as a missionary. It's always good to hear and know that your kids truly know the truthfulness of the church. CC has a very powerful testimony. Thanks for sharing!
Love ya
