Tidbits, Sightings, Randomness

Over the last two weeks that Ben has been in the MTC, we've received some fun photos of friends who have seen Ben while attending the MTC openhouse, photos from other missionaries at the MTC, our own photo visiting the MTC (No, we did not see Ben while we were there) and also interesting tidbits from Ben that have not been in his regular letters.

From Ben:

"All the Elders are jealous of my toilet paper!" (We sent him Charmin - he can't live without it)

"Love you so much mom. I don't know how to get that message across."

"PDAY..... hmmm... NAP!! and I'll study, clean my room, study, and then normal proselyting starts and 6 so I'll head to class." 

"That is Elder Broschart. He is probably one of my best friends. He loves Country Music, Trucks, Hates the Cities, Loves the Outdoors, and is just a great guy." 

"Overall, I am great!! Couldn't be better! Except I'm sick ;)"

"The food is working out great and yes, I got the fridge!! I haven't met any missionaries going to my mission except one but he is speaking the language of Haiti."

"Exercise is the best things of LIFE!!! It is so great to take some time off and just chill. It's great"   

"We become converted and spiritually self-reliant as we prayerfully live our covenants—through worthily partaking of the sacrament, being worthy of a temple recommend, and sacrificing to serve others."

—Robert D. Hales, ""Coming to Ourselves: The Sacrament, the Temple, and Sacrifice in Service ""
