Week #5

Ni hao family,
It felt like just a couple of days ago that I was sending my last email, the weeks fly by so fast! 

Thursday was one of my teachers last day, so we have had 4 teachers when most people only have 2. She is getting married on Friday. On her last day she did that thing with us that dad always does where he puts the pens down the holds a certain amount of fingers up. It was really funny to watch everyone else try to figure it out.

​this is my district with my teacher who is getting married

 On Saturday we did TRC again, where we had planned to teach a member. About 5 minutes before we taught they told Elder Johnson and I that we were going to be teaching actual non members. It was a father and a daughter from China, and they were here because the daughter is going to Meridian High School. We only taught for about 15 minutes, but it was a really good experience, and they were really nice and helped us with our Chinese so it was way fun!

 The topic on Sunday was Enduring to the end. I love that topic because it just brings me such hope that in the end, if we are doing what the Lord asks us to do, we will receive so many blessings. I would invite you all to read in 2 Nephi 6:7 especially the last line "they will not be ashamed who wait for me"
I know that the Savior Jesus Christ will come again, and when he does, we will not be ashamed of our testimonies of this Gospel.

 For the Tuesday night devotional, Sister Bonnie L. Oscarson spoke to us. She talked about how the Lord know us personally and he has a specific mission experience planned for each and every one of us, if we allow him to guide us, and even cut us down sometimes in order to build us up stronger.

 By this time next week the group that came in with me will be basically the veterans of the MTC. Time has gone by so fast! When I think about going to Taiwan I get super excited but also super nervous. The MTC has been pretty hard and I know that the field is going to get even harder, but I get so excited when I think about teaching the Taiwanese people the Gospel. And even though they probably won't be able to understand me, and I for sure won't be able to understand them, I know that the Spirit is fluent in every language.
 Sorry this letter is a lot shorter than usual, but sometimes it just feels like every week here at the MTC is the same haha. But I'm so thankful for the opportunity I have to be here and to prepare myself to teach the people of Taiwan.
I love you all! Thank you for your love and support!
 Elder Bosco

Today Deseret Lazarte (Andres' mother) was volunteering in the MTC with her sister and after they were done they started asking Elders if they knew Elder Bosco and he walked by! They were able to chat for a few minutes. Collin said it was great to talk to someone he knew!
