September 10, 2008

This was our first e-mail from Kyle after he entered the MTC, as soon as we receive photos we will get them on here!!

i just set up this account for the next 2 years and also tell kelly and family and what not that if they want me to get their emails day of (this applies to you too!) so i thought i wouldnt have as much time to type all thats been happening (by the way thanks for the shot records!!) so last night we had a devotional with president uchtdorf and he gave an apostolic blessing to the missionaries and
their families and ill send it word for word in a letter! but he was talking about missionary work. and he told us to work our heels off and to never forget the weight of our calling and that we are the extended arm of the apostles and we're doing their work! and the spirit was so strong when he said that we would bless the lives of generations to come, after he shared how thankful he
was of the missionaries that converted his wife;'s family!
we've been learning so much! i wish i could share with you all the lessons ive been learning (in detail) but ive had lessons on humility (these are personal spirit taught and not a class lesson) patience and notetaking! president scott said that if you write down your thoughts and notes and such the lord with bless you and cause those things youve written down to come to you
in a time of need and you recieve a better chance of getting more revelation and deeper insight!
i now love taking notes! and its awesome to look back on my study journal and see my spiritual progression and see the thoughts i have while studying and how they still apply! its so awesome here! i cant wait to go out and bless peoples lives!

love
elder labarre
