Things have been going great here during my first week at
the MTC. From day one we have been flying at break-neck speeds but it's been a
great experience. Our instructors have been speaking almost exclusively Italian
to us since out first class but we're catching on quickly. We taught our first
lesson on Friday and we've taught three more since... each one in only Italian.
My companion Anziano Blackwell and I have been getting better with each lesson
and and we're starting to get a good feel for the language. Humility has been a
recurring theme for me since I have to accept the fact that I literally can't
do this without the Help of our Heavenly Father, but as I've humbled myself I
have found greater success and comprehension than I could even dream of by my
own strength.
The food here is better than I've always heard, but we'll
see how my opinion changes after my five more weeks here (PS yes mom, I am
drinking more than just chocolate milk and yes, I am eating my vegetables).
I know that the work that I am embarking on is the work of
God and I know that I am called to this mission for a purpose. I can testify
that without God that I, we, are nothing and that with him we are everything. I
can't wait to see you all at the end of two short years! Ciao!
Love,
Anziano Wilkinson
