Hey you all,
It's crazy how in the world the MTC is but not of it. It’s crazy to think that most my family is just a mile or two away, but it is nice to know that my cheering for BYU and the Broncos made a difference last year. Sorry but you guys might be in for a rough couple of years in the sporting area. It was weird hearing that there are rebels in Libya and there was an earthquake and huge news like that from letters. This last week was good. I really enjoy learning more of the gospel. I am excited to go out and share.
This last week was the ten year anniversary of Sept. 11th. Did Obama give a speech? I didn't realize till half way through the day when I was on lds.org and saw that the MoTab was preforming a Sept. 11th memorial thing and I wondered how many days till then and looked at my watch and realized it was that day. I wished I could watch it, along with the devotional by Elder Oaks that day but I knew I was busy. I felt bad not remembering this important day, how quick to forget we can be. Then later that day for the devotional Pres. Brown decided to commemorate Sept. 11th by showing us a youtube I believe called I am overcome, and then the MoTabs performance. It was great, I also got to watch some of the devotional that Elder Oaks gave, and finished it today. i figured maybe my family was doing the same. I loved that thought.
Spiritual thoughts of the week are in 3 Nephi 19:13 the spirit fell upon them. I thought that was interesting word usage because that generally is used for war. Yet I also thought maybe a blanket, or both because it cleanses the sin with fire, but comforts the person like a warm blanket. Any thoughts_
In Ether 6:7and8 it says That there were mountain waves that crashed upon them but the boat was tight like Noah’s that no sea monster could break it, and in verse 8 it talks about how the wind never ceased to blow toward the promised land, and how long were they in the boats_ A year almost. I got from this that often out trials may seem like mountains in the way, and will come crashing down on you yet they will bring us toward heaven, and it may take longer then you thought but praise the lord as they did.
A few request:, what’s Ian Dacey’s, Andrew Gibb’s, and Ali’s address? Also can I get his grace is sufficient and the four missionaries talks? Lastly I am down to a 7:01 mile.
ps Brian the hymn book is small, and I can engrave it, any requests?
Love you all,
Elder Matt Sabey
