| Elder Ryan Coombs going into the MTC in Provo 8/1/2012 |
¡Como le va?! It was great to receive news from the outside world! I was starting to wonder if I was still remembered. Your letter has been the only news I´ve heard as of yet.
The MTC is great! It has been really cool to see the gift of tongues in action. The first few days we learned how to pray, testify, and hold basic introduction conversations. Throughout all of our lessons you realize that words, phrases, and random grammar rules come into your head that came from Spanish class in school, which I know I couldn't remember before. It's way cool. The language training in the computer lab is really helpful for me too, because its the whole deal; visual, audio, and practice. I learn better reading and seeing the words as they are spoken, rather than in regular class where they just speak it to us and then look at us weird when none of us understand.
My companion is Elder Bozarth. He's from St. George and has been a year at BYU. He played basketball at high school, so he schools a lot of us in gym time. He reminds me a lot of Kyle T, not only in basketball but personality and stuff. Kinda funny how that works. Needless to say we get along great =) Elder Wiscombe is from Morgan, Utah and destroys everyone in volleyball. He doesn't seem like it at first glance, but he's way good. His companion is Elder Miskin, and he's from San Bernadino California. The four of us are going to Barcelona, and the rest in our district are going to Texas McCallen. They are awesome too. Elder Argyle is from Arizona, his companion Elder Mulitalo is from Utah somewhere. He actually played on the BYU football team. He's a big samoan guy and probably one of the funniest guys I've ever met! Elder Talley is probably the best spanish speaker here, but I don't remember where he's from. His companero es Elder Williams. Elder Hobbs and Elder Stock are the other companionship and they're great too. I don't have time to tell you about them all, but just know that they're great and we're all amigos here =)
Sundays are awesome here. Very powerful and spiritual. Tuesdays we have devotionals from General Authorities or Emeritus, so those are always great.
Love you all!! The gospel is true, God lives! The Book of Mormon is the word of God and blesses lives beyond measure. Prayer is a powerful principle and brings forth many blessings.
