Sundays

We love Sundays in the MTC. This is the day that we have the missionaries to ourselves!

Every other day of the week they are in class with the instructors

but on Sunday the instructors are not here

and they are all OURS!

We have Sacrament Meeting

Relief Society/Priesthood

Choir Practice

Activity

Fireside

Devotional

and time to listen and have a little fun.

Just like a Sunday at home with a BIG family!

This is the day we really get inside their souls.

They hear from us and we hear from them.

Last Sunday.....

a wonderful elder from Romania shared this.....

He is a convert - joined with his mother and sister. Father did not join but is very supportive.

They were taught the law of tithing but

His mother had lost her job and things were very tight financially.

Tithing for the mother was not possible because she was not earning anything.

But soon after baptism, she got a new job! And she began to pay tithing.

And then, this sweet elder said, "And after that we always had food on our table!"

I looked at this fine young man

-- dressed in a crisp white shirt, a well cut suit and a shine on his new shoes

and thought "The windows of heaven have surely opened and poured blessings out on

this family.

The gospel is raising them from poverty.

This young man will return from his mission, go to engineering school

and will be lifted from a once hopeless existence

to a life full of promise and temporal blessings.

Wow! This gospel does remarkable things for those who are faithful.!
