What a week!

It sounds like Tanner has enjoyed/survived another week at the MTC. He leaves for Fresno, next Wednesday. The time has gone by so quickly that I still need to order some sheets so his bed won't be bare when he arrives. Here are some excerpts from his letter.

"I am really learning to teach with the spirit. It's been fantastic. I taught a fake investigator yesterday with my companion (who is now Elder Moon, not Elder Deason). We taught the Plan of Salvation. We got to share some personal experiences that really brought the spirit in the room. Then we went outside to find that it was SNOWING! Something I thought I wouldn't see again for two years! So I am very glad I got to see it, and get some pictures with it! So awesome.

After that I got to sing in the choir at the devotional! Not only that, but my companion and I were on the camera! AND, not only that, but we were singing for Elder L. Tom Perry, of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles. :) Such a neat experience! Thanks to Dad, for the gentle nudge in the direction of singing in the choir, I had an awesome experience. Not to mention that Elder Perry's talk on missionary work was fantastic (as I'm sure they always are, when it comes from one of the Quorum of the Twelve)."

We will be looking forward to his phone call that he gets to make from the airport! I can't wait to hear the excitement in his voice and hear how the MTC has changed his life! He did mention, that he won't be able to receive any Dear Elder letters or packages at the MTC after Friday.
