"Today has been exactly 11 months since I entered the MTC."

Hello everyone! I cannot believe the time has passed so fast. Today it has been exactly 11 months since I entered the MTC. I will hit my year mark next transfer. So many things have happened to me since then.


This week we worked super hard to get to know the members. We talked to an awesome Haitian member named Sister Monestine who has a friend who she wants us to sit down with this week. Also, Saturday at 5:00 pm. Sister Monestine has invited one of our investigators named Natasha to eat at her house and do a lesson. They just live a few houses away from each other on the same street. Natasha loved the church meetings because everyone was so friendly.

Elder Furner and I have talked a lot about being unified as a companionship and working together, because we do not teach with unity. He pointed out that I sometimes zone out when people are talking to me and I don't always listen because of it. I realize that I can lose focus, so that is something I need to work on. He is also really good at being obedient and focusing on what Preach My Gospel has to say about something. We talked a lot and we realized a lot of things that we can work on. He is a good missionary and he is really nice. I just sometimes let myself get offended because I don't want to face my weaknesses. I am learning a lot from him about how to help other people better.

Well, I have to go. I will talk to you all later! Bye! I love you all very much!

Love,

Elder Seamons

This is his letter to the president:

Hi President Hale! We have had a fairly good week. We are working on becoming more unified as a companionship and I am working on listening to Elder Furner. He is a very good companion and he knows how to work well with people. He also understands what a Preach My Gospel missionary truly is. We are going to increase our finding efforts and our member presents this week.

I have many weaknesses that I need to overcome. I have recognized and I have been shown them. I know the Lord can help me overcome them if I am humble enough to let him.

I know that this mission is the right place for me and that it is one of the greatest experiences of my life. I am growing in ways that will bless me throughout all eternity. Thank you so much for your blessing on Friday and for the counsel in it. We love you very much. Thank you! I love you!

Love,

Elder Seamons
