Hey Everyone!
I've made it through the first week of the absolute blessing that is the MTC. The Spirit is so strong here and the people I've met here make the time so much better. The beginning was a bit of a rush, with barely any time for even doing personal and companion study like we're supposed to. They had us fully booked with workshops and devotionals. We met our Branch Presidency on Thursday night and they made the District Leader, Zone Leader and Sister Training Leader assignments. And to my dismay at the time, I was chosen as District Leader for my district. I was getting pretty overwhelmed already and then to have that dumped on me was kind of a lot. But now that I've had time to adjust to it, it is quite the interesting experience. On Sunday was the time we had a sense of peace in our schedules. Being able to take the sacrament is always a great time, and they had what they call a go and do experience. They give us a few hours to be able to sit and listen to the Spirit and we study some prompt they give us. I was marking some of Alma the Younger's repentance story as I caught Alma 36:26 out of the corner of my eye. It speaks of how Alma was able to bring more people to the Lord because of the past mistakes he had made. I had the great impression of "What Jace did in the past was stupid and a mistake, but what Elder Buchanan knows now will use what he learned from those mistakes for good." Just remember there is no length that the Savior can't reach to get to you. He will always be there for you. Make sure guys have a Merry Christmas and I'll talk to y'all next week!
Love,
Elder Buchanan
