Well i have survived my first week in the MTC! I must say i missed you all dearly but i am definitely doing much better! my companion elder petersen got his VISA last thursday and he is leaving tomorrow! im excited for him! im thinking and praying my visa will come in the next few weeks! i love my district, there are 2 other elders and 4sisters in my district. I was called to be district leader by the branch presidency. i must say learning portugues is a challenge! Eu estou gratos por a meu salvador jesus cristos. :) we learned how to pray on the second day! MY instructor's name is brother johansen.the first day he didnt speak any english to us! it was crazy haha on the second day we had to teach an investigator! i understood most but i couldnt speak much! the spirit is so strong here. yesterday was amazing. first sunday and it was definitely the spiritual boost i needed! The night fireside was awesome! i got the package today! i didnt look throught it all but thank you so much for the laundry bag mom! i love you! I was going to ask for you to send it but you were on it! it is true that mothers know best ;) i hope everything is going well at home! give everyone my love and let them know i miss them. The food here is okay.....nothing special! I definitely cannot wait to get out into the field though! I have finally realized i need to use all the time i have in the MTC to prepare to serve the lord in the way he wants me too.It is going to take a lot of hard work though! the gift of tongues will come as long as i work hard and put all my faith in heavenly father. I have met a lot of nice elders and sisters. i saw sister cox yesterday and ive seen elder hogge quite a few times! i love you all so much and you are all in my many prayers i say daily.. I still cant believe im on my mission, It seems surreal at times. Again i love you and i hope heavenly father blesses you with the things you need. i cant wait to hear back from you! love you. -Elder Murray
