MTC IS AWESOME!! says Elder Behira

We received our first letter from Elder Behira along with pictures. Here's a brief line from his letter:
"I am so happy that I am here in the MTC. Some people call this sacrifice, but for me, it's an 'Amazing Blessing'. This is the place where you feel the spirit all the time especially when we sing the 'hymns'. The people here are always smiling all the time, humble, kind, etc. etc. I am always so busy here in the MTC. Plss write more letters. It feels good when I receive letters and my companions don't. haha Just kidding. All we learn about here is the atonement. It is all people need. I love you guys. Hold tight to the rod. Pray and find out who you really are. Love, Elder Behira

Keep up the great work Elder!!!

"Happiest I've Ever Been" exclaims Elder Ultra

"I miss rice, sushi, bubble tea, pho, pandesal, the Canucks, Pacquiao, all our dine outs and our shenanigans. But I know I am suppose to miss all of those. This is the happiest I have ever been because I know that this is where I am supposed to be. I love the gospel and I want to tell everyone." ~ Elder Ken Ultra, May 16 2011. :)

"Hoorah for Zion" Elder Behira

Elder Behira was set apart last night by President Soll and President Sloan.  His parents, sister and nephew (and Sister Sloan) were all in attendance for this special occasion.
It was the Second Annual FHE 'Sendoff' (Elder Ultra was first) at the Sloan's home.  Tears, singing, testimony and pizza were shared.

Good Luck Elder Behira.  Our thoughts and prayers are with you!!!

The Next to Go......

On Sunday evening, May 1, 2011 an Open House was held to say good-bye to Francisco, who leaves for the MTC this week.  There was a wonderful show of support by so many friends and ward members and everyone enjoyed the beautiful, sunny Sunday evening together.
