Week 2

Hello everybody!Wow what a week its been! First of all I'm going to thank everyone for sending me letters and packages! I've never had so much candy in my life! This week had so many things happening in it I don't know where to start! Well first of all I don't know quite when I'll be leaving the MTC yet. Me and my companion (And a lot of other elders going to spain) got a notice that the arrival of our VISA's will be a bit delayed. It said to not expect to leave on my original departure date. Oh well right? Everything happens for a reason. I'll get there when I need to get there. Man I miss all of you and I'm so lucky to have all this support. I think everybody in my district hates me because I get mail everyday and I even got three packages in one day! Its alright though I love it. I want to share an experience I had this week with everyone. On Saturday, one of my teachers told our class to make a goal to strengthen one area of our testimony. I thought about it and decided to strengthen my testimony of Joseph Smith. Here at the MTC we practice teaching lessons a lot! I had been having trouble with lessons because...well, I'm not a very good teacher. I would dread giving lessons to teachers and other missionaries because I never felt like I was doing it right. Well, Saturday night we had a teaching appointment and I decided to go about it with a different attitude. I was going to listen to the "investigator" and his concerns and try to listen to the spirit to tell me what I should say. I said a prayer to help me and I finally had confidence. As we were towards the end of the lesson (that was going very well!) I bore my testimony of Joseph Smith and the first vision. I started to get emotional and I knew Joseph Smith was a true prophet. This wasn't even a real investigator and I felt like I was changing his life for the better. I have never felt so good! I am growing so much spiritually here, and physically actually! Haha I gained 6 pounds from Tuesday to Saturday of this last week! I hope it continues. I would really love it if you all continued to write me letters. I love them so much. I can be having the hardest day and then I'll get a letter from anyone and it raises my spirit so high. I'm going to use these emails just to give everybody a quick overview of my week. I will still write you personal letters though so I can address each of your questions. I would really appreciate it, if it is possible, for you all to just write me letters because I will have to go to a different building and print off your emails and I just don't have much time here! Thank you so much! I hope you all had a wonderful Easter Sunday. I feel so grateful for the Savior and the sacrifices He made for each of us. Its a love I can't even come close to comprehending. I am so excited for the day I get to behold His face and to kneel at his feet thanking Him for His love and sacrifices He made for me. I love the Savior. I love all of you and I hope you all the best. Love Elder Langston P.S. I can only write letters on Monday on my P Day so I'm sorry if it takes awhile to get my letters. And sometimes I get mail that was sent last week after I have already written my letters to you. Sorry for the confusion and I'll try to keep up. Love you all!
