Mission Life- Week 1

Here is Bubba's first letter to family and friends from his LDS mission. It was his first week in the Missionary Training Center in Provo, Utah. He will be serving a two year mission in Washington DC.


Hey everyone!! My first week at the MTC has been so amazing! My district is amazing, I love all the elders and sisters. Elder Francis and Belliston are my companions. We have some awesome times and have a room to ourselves, our zone leaders nicknamed our room the Penthouse. On a spiritual note, this has been one of the best weeks ever. The spirit is super strong here! We've been teaching quite a few investigators and I've really been learning the importance of relying on the spirit when teaching. Every investigator is different and if you listen to the spirit, you'll know what they specifically need to hear. On Sunday night we had a devotional and Elder Quinten L. Cook  spoke! The best part was that all 12 apostles were there! As soon as they stepped in the room the spirit was overwhelming, the power they carry with them can move mountains! The church is true guys! Everyone go on missions! It's amazing, I can't believe the experiences I've already had and I've only been here a week.
