Week 2 in the MTC

Elder Hale was able to email a couple of times today:

This week has been great! We have to check out around 3:00 tuesday morning. We had Bishop Wendell of the presiding bishopbric talk to us during the Tuesday night devotional. It was an amazing talk. I got to sing in the choir during that devotional. We sang "Lead Kindly Light". The music director is amazing and the spirit that was there was wonderful. We also had the missionary director talk to us during the sunday night devotional. It was hilarious yet super spiritual. I'm going to be heading to the temple pretty soon so I'll tell you more later today. I'm so grateful for the chance I have to serve my purpose and invite others unto Christ. I never  really grasped the Doctrine of Christ and it's importance until I came here to the MTC. It shows me how important baptism is and how important full conversion is. I love 2 nephi 31 that talks about the Doctrine of Christ. I've been reading that chapter a lot this week. I'm also serving as a zone leader this week so we'll be doing orientation for the incoming districts in our zone later tonight. We had 1,000 missionaries coming in today. So things will be crazy. I'll message later today hopefully with some pictures and some more stories. I'm glad everything is going great! Tell Gretchen congrats on the license! I miss all of you! 

Love you,

Elder Hunter Hale

Hey so I'm glad everything is great! I'll be able to call you guys at some point on tuesday so just be ready for that. Not sure when I'll be able to email. Like I've said this gospel is great! I love it! My mission I've found out is one of the strictest. I guess before Cusick there was a lot of bad stuff going on. So when he came in he made some pretty big restrictions. Like we can't eat at members houses unless we can get an investigator to come. Also we have to wake up early and workout for at least an hour and have your heart rate at 140 for 30min. Just things like that. Also the whole area is really sparse church membership wise so our areas are very, very large. I'm excited though! I'll update you on my next p-day. Probably two mondays from now. I love this gospel it's amazing! Hope you guys have a great couple of weeks!

Love you,

Elder Hale
