Elder Tyler Trent's Mission : Argentina Bound!! Goodbye MTC

Hola de el CCM uno mas tiempo! Proxima, Argentina!

A lot of different emotions about heading to Argentina! Super excited and also nervous! But I know I will do great! I have loved my time in the MTC and am grateful for the time i was able to spend here learning how to speak the language and become a better missionary. I was blessed with such a great district and awesome teachers that have taught me a lot. I feel like my real mission is starting in a few days! The MTC is a big bubble inside of a bubble Utah. I have gotten very comfortable here. Argentina will be a big change! Pero, estoy animado! (But, I'm Excited).

I was sick for most of this week:( so I unfortunately I didnt get a whole lot done and was out for some of the week, but Im good now:) But I was still able to learn some and had some fun experiences.

So for the past week and half we have been practicing in the MTC Choir to sing in a Special Devotional this past Sunday. We had the opportunity to sing with the Nashville Tribute Band for a couple songs. If you haven't heard of them, they are an all Mormon country/rock style band based in Nashville. The MTC had never done anything like this before and probably will never again. We usually just have a speaker like a General Authority come speak to us. But this time this band came and played for us the whole time. All their songs are country style pop but their lyrics are about things in the church. I thought it was going to be pretty cool to have a "concert", but didnt think it would be very spiritual. I was wrong. It was amazing and I felt the spirit during the whole thing! I love the Spirit that comes from music! You can look them up if you want!

Spiritual Experience: One thing that I wanted to improve on this week was better study my scriptures. Its amazing how the Lord answers your prayers! Our priesthood lesson on Sunday was about this and also the devotional on Tuesday talked about it! I have really worked hard on this and have noticed a big change! I love the Scriptures! We can learn so much and know what God wants of us from them.

Scripture of the Week: Mosiah 2:21

Funny Moment of the Week: So one of the Elders in our District told us his Dad is sending a package with Jimmy Johns in it for all of us. When we got it, we were all excited and stuff, sick of the cafeteria food. We opened it and everything was gone except for a note and an open bag of half eaten chips. Haha it said you can't send fast food to the MTC, but we enjoyed the sandwiches thank you! Haha! We all thought it was hilarious except for the Elder who it was for was pretty mad haha.
