Letter From Mike Sept. 26, 2007

...Things here are swell. I´m ready to get ou the MTC. Don´t get me wrong, this place is awesome, and the nicest I´ll have for sure in the next 22 months, but I´m ready for some new faces, and real people to teach rather than role playing with teachers or members that come in on Saturday mornings. I donpt know the language, and I´m not even going to pretend that I do, and I certainly don´t know every aspect of the gospel, but I DO know that the atonement of Christ is the real deal , and that if we put our faith into that, then we can do anything that we want, especially the things that he asks us to do. Portuguese is really a struggle. So hard and mind blowing how different languages are, but after I give it my all, I can feel the Lord giving me the gifts that I need to make myself a better missionary. This work is amazing. Just proselyting and telling people that Christ is the son of God makes my life better than it ever has been before...
