It was great to see your email this morning! I really enjoyed hearing about the family! I love you all so much and I hope you remember that! We only had 30 minutes on the computer today and we are only allowed on once a week, so I apologize for being somewhat brief. I just want you to know that I am doing very well here. My heart is feasting on the enviroment that surrounds me! It is amazing to think it has already been a week since I first got here. Even more surprising, I am technically in my 2nd week at the MTC and in just a week and a half I will be on a plane to Guam. Time has flown and it has been precious to me! I am going to get my flight plans this weekend, so I will update you on my next P-day, when I will be flying out.
I have learned so much here!I have found out alot more about myself, both good and bad. Sometimes it gets hard and I am scared to death, but most of the time I am beibg lifted up by the Holy Ghost. It is different being here, because I am used to talking to you and dad about my struggles. I have had to rely completley on the Lord. It has strenghtened my faith and trust in him quite a bit. I have learned this week that strength as a missionary isn't measured by how much I know or how prepared I am, but rather how humble and reliant upon the Spirit I am. This realization has helped me alot in my teaching and my understanding of my purpose as a missionary. Our purpose is to help other come unto Christ and recieive the restored Gospel. How amazing is that? I love being a missionary! It is the greatest thing I have ever experienced!
Love your son, Elder Dallin Lyman
