Another great day at the MTC! I'm happy to be here. I'm feeling more confident to go out in the field each day. I've grown here a lot, and have a lot more to learn still, but I love the gospel. I'm thankful that the Lord strengthens me and comforts me. I still worry at times and have doubts, but I know the Lord will bless me. Well, I guess there is a scare nation wide of "swine flu". But here at the MTC we are no longer allowed to shake hands! We are missionaries! We shake everyone's hand! So it's been really hard, but that big joke around here is that if you touch anyone you will get the swine! It's pretty funny. Today, I also went for another run, with Elder Kesler. We ran about 2 miles - maybe a little more, but it felt good. I love running and I really needed it after all the crap they feed us here. I actually like the food here, but I just eat too much. They serve us donuts like for every meal! It's a temptation.
