Elder Faber Dominican Republic

  Alright, well I’ve finally finished all 6 weeks of home MTC, and it went just about how it sounds. A whole lot of sitting around and a whole lot of Spanish. But It wasn’t necessarily all that bad, I was blessed with a Killer district and I had the best companions I could ever ask for. I was in a trio with Elder Gubler and Elder Durfey, both of them are goats, and I’ve learned so much from them. Our companion studies were mostly just us hopping on a zoom call at 7am and messing around and talking. Although we did study whenever we had to plan a lesson, yeah we mostly just talked and got to know each other for an hour before we had to go to class. Love those guys  Even though MTC was mostly just sitting around on zoom calls learning how to teach and learn the gospel in Spanish. I got to do some pretty cool things that you wouldn’t usually be able to do in a normal MTC. I got to mow my lawn for the last time in 2 years, don’t know how my dad is gonna make our lawn look as good ...

  A couple of months ago one of my old buddies Josh Brunson challenged me to share my testimony in 6 words, I never did it because I didn’t really want to post on Facebook, but it seems pretty convenient now that I’m a missionary. My 6-word testimony is… God knows what’s best for me. Today in class we talked about who God is, and the nature of him, we were asked to find scriptures that answered these two questions. The two scriptures I found were in 2 Nephi 9: 20, and 1 John 4: 19. These two scriptures represent my 6-word testimony perfectly. I know that God knows what’s best for me, this is something I’ve come to understand more completely these past few months. It’s hard to put all your trust in someone else, especially when you can’t see them. But as I’ve come to know my Heavenly Father and the love that he has for me, I truly know and understand that he knows what’s best for me and his plan is the one I’m going to follow. I am so thankful Heavenly Father loves me enough to give...
