Elder Baird's Something About Socks: WEEK 6 MTC: If you give a missionary a cookie... He will want a hair to go with it..... Apparently?

WELL ALLLLLOOOOOHHHAAAAA

So guess who got visited by Elder Cook?

It's a pretty easy answer.... It was me! Well all the missionaries here at the MTC, but still me!

So it was so cool to get a visit from an apostle and he said some really cool things! The spirit that he brought just by walking into the room was so cool! One of the things that he showed us that was so cool was pages from the original printers manuscript of the Book of Mormon. They Also showed us a page form the first written english parts of the Book of Mormon. Like the OG script. It was so cool!

I love the Book of Mormon so much. I finished Alma yesterday and it is just so amazing. I invite everyone to read it every day :) It will bless your life.

On Thursday I auditioned my song "Nearer to Kolob". I'll put a link to it if people want to listen to it. I've been working on it now for about 3 weeks and I'm way happy with it. But I auditioned it and they were like, "Wow, that was amazing, but it gets to loud for our purposes so this probably won't work"

So that was a little sad.

However that afternoon I got an email that said that they would hold my song to be played in about two weeks, so now I'm just confused. Hopefully it works out though! I would love for it to!

Our Saturday TRC was a lot of fun! We taught about personal revelation and it was so cool to be able to talk to these people about it. Our last guy was not very engaged in our lesson until I bore my testimony. As I started to bear my testimony about prayer, scriptures, and revelation, you could tell that he got engaged. The spirit was there speaking the truth of my words to him. I'm so happy that I can have God's help in all I do. For without him I am nothing.

Sundays are amazing here. Like so so good. Favorite day of the week. The spirit is just so strong and I learn so many things. Thats real specific I know. But it is true :)

I love it here so much. It will be sad to leave, but honestly I'm raring to go! It will be fun to get out there and teach real people and help them!

But

We actually teach two non-members this week. We in the BIG leagues now! Now more fake people pretending, these are actual people. It is kinda terrifying. But super exciting at the same time!

Thats my week basically. know that I love you all! Thank you for everything that you do for me :)

Love,

Elder Baird
