Tomorrow I leave for the mission field. The nine weeks of MTC
experience has proved itself a refiner`s fire in many aspects. I`ve
been required to show patience in ways I never thought I was even
capable of. I`m not sure if I`m a new man or if I`ve just been broken.
Either way, I`m sure all of you will all appreciate it. Do you have
any idea how much Evangelicals don`t like Mormons in Central America?
I`ve been yelled at so many times in a language I don`t understand it
makes my head hurt just thinking about it. We went to the park and did
a bunch of contacting and stuff last week. I also gave a sacrament
talk which actually went pretty well seeing as how I had no idea it
was coming and had no preparation time. Old man President Steimle
thought he could catch me off guard... I appreciate all of the love
and attention I`ve been recieving from anyone and I look forward to
seeing all of you in what seems like a lifetime, but, from what I`m
told, isn`t very long at all. I hope the blog looks spiffy. Make sure
to throw the link on my Facebook every once in a while.
Anyway so tomorrow I spent the night at the mission home and then
the next day (or that day it actually hasn`t been made very clear)
I`ll meet my trainer. He`ll be my companion for six weeks following
that day and then I`ll most likely recieve another companion. Expect
another update next Tuesday or Wednesday. Make sure that my new
address is made known to everyone and that you`re using international
postage or DearElder to send me mail :)
Again, I appreciate the love and support,
Michael Daniel Rex
