Wow! This was a crazy week! Yesterday we had an Elder from our district go home. That makes our district now with just 5 elders. We have had two elders leave. It is really too bad. The elder that left was Elder Hamburg and he left a sticky note in my journal saying "I’m sorry I was not strong enough. I love you tons man! Stay strong!" It was really hard having him leave. He was Dear Johned the day before. It really just tore my heart out. Our district is a so close and to see someone give up like that is really hard. Anyway, we had a large group meeting with a bunch of zones, and our speaker turned out to be this guy whom I hitch-hiked with in Hawaii. I remember being picked up by an RM and we just talked about his mission. He said the same thing in the meeting and I knew he looked familiar. I didn’t get a chance to talk to him, but I’ll find him and he will be surprised. He was a nice man for picking me up ha-ha. Anyway, the MTC is going so fast. This week I have mostly been focusing on serving people, and making that the purpose of all my activities. I’m not doing this to try to impress my family, or whoever, I am working hard because I love Jesus Christ and God and I want people to come to the gospel of Jesus Christ and enjoy of the blessings. That is the focus for every single activity I do. I am growing so much. I cannot believe it. My planning skills and being organized will help me so much in my later life, as well as setting goals and doing all I can to achieve those goals. I should be receiving my flight plans any day. I have not received a letter from anyone except my family members. What is up with that guys?!?! ha-ha just kidding.. I know you are all busy with school and stuff. Anyway, love you all. Elder Kyle Harris.
