In the MTC

WOW! Thanks to everyone so much for the emails I recieved. Today is My preparation day and we get one half hour to do our emailing! I cannot possible reply to all those who sent me emails individually but I hope this will suffice. This past week has been one of great learning for me. I've had the opportunity mostly to tract. There have not been Elder missionaries here for over one year and as a result we have no current investegators or contacts. We have to basically start from square one. We've been visiting the investegators the past elders had with usually less than a warm welcome. Generally we've been told that they are un-interested in hearing more. While tracting I came across a Jehovahs witness. She would take nothing from me. My training companion informed me that this was because Jehovah's Witnesses are taught that if they take anything from our church they are considered "unclean." She seemed interested but for fear of being condemned by her church she told us she was not interested. I should have born testimony of the truth of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. I'm still learning how to be an effective tracting missionary. I only have five minutes left so I have to make this speedy. Thank you so much for your prayers. I can say with confidence that we as missionaries on a daily basis see the blessings that come from saints the world over asking our Heavenly Father to bless us. I Love this gospel and am privelaged to have a part in this work! Love,Elder McCarty
