November 7th

Dear Family  and Friends,

This week was an incredible way to end my MTC experience. We taught several lessons to a few investigators: Jeff, Oleksandr, and Gabriel. We taught Jeff about the Plan of Salvation, prayer, and the Holy Ghost, and invited him to continue to pray for answers to his questions. Oleksandr is reluctant to pray, but has started reading The Book of Mormon (in Ukrainian). Gabriel promised us that he would read The Book of Mormon and pray about it. We also attended "in-field training" this week, to learn about street contacting, working with members, etc.

       Our classes this week were as insightful as ever. Our teachers, Justin Cheung and Oscar Abadillo have a way of bringing the Spirit into a lesson that is just absolutely incredible. We went to the temple to do an endowment session. It was great. One of the sisters from our district left early yesterday morning for the Gilbert, Arizona mission. The remaining 3 sisters, and one elder, Elder Healy, left this morning. The 5 remaining elders all head out tomorrow to BOISE IDAHO!

       They feed us too much here. I believe I'm gaining weight. We played volleyball as a zone a couple times this week. I have successfully memorized everyones names. 

         I've learned a ton here. I'm really growing in testimony and in spirit, and I'm definately ready to go out into the field! Remember to pray more often. Get to somewhere where you can feel the spirit and really get to feeling it. During scripture study as a family and by yourself, don't just read. UNPACK THE SCRIPTURES. Find the meaning. Look for how they point to Christ. I love you all! I really enjoyed all the letters you sent me! I love you all!

Godspeed the Right,

~Elder Quiner
