Week 2

 I'm at the MTC now, and it's actually pretty chill.

The first day was mostly devotionals, which was kind of tragic because I was stuck in a seat with basically no leg room. The messages were really good though, so it was worth it. I also had some good food before I got there, so that helped.

The next day was pretty normal. We had a branch meeting that took a while, but it was chill because we got to meet people. The branch president's counselor was really nice, so that was cool.

We've had a lot of classes, and the mock lesson practices have actually been pretty fun. We also had a more professional mock lesson with one of the MTC teachers. It definitely didn't go as well as our Zoom one because the guy asked every hard question imaginable and genuinely yapped for over half the lesson.  We still did alright though, and we've got another one later today.

Also, one day they served pork for lunch, and it was absolutely fire. But then they stopped serving it... except yesterday they had it again, and they ran out both at lunch and dinner literally right before I got to the front of the line. That was so sad. 

Yesterday we also had a really good workshop. Before that though, my second-hour teacher left, so we have a substitute now, but she's chill.

The workshop was awesome because I found a great partner who really helped me learn. One thing the teacher said that I wrote down was,"You're leaving so many things behind at home. What are you doing if you're not giving your all to the work for these two years?" I guess I've just got to lock in and I'' do good, so that's good.

Bye bye!

Also things for people coming to the MTC:

• The food is kind of bad, but you can usually find something good. The desserts carry pretty hard.

• You'll be busy almost all the time, but you do get about an hour to go to the gym or do other exercise.

• Just lock in and do everything with the Spirit if you want to get the most out of class.

• Don't talk during class, and don't do the seminary zip.

• The campus is pretty fly.

• Be reverent everywhere so people can learn.

• Be a chiller so your district can be chillers too.

• The rooms are tragic. I'm in a room with five other guys that's about the size of a shipping container, but they're all absolute studs and adorbs. 

• They also have a whole section of the cafeteria for people with food allergies, which is pretty cool. Shoutout to the celiacs.
