Best Place on Earth


Can I just tell you that if anyone tells you that Disneyland is the happiest place on earth.  They are lieing to you.  The MTC is the happiest place on earth. I really can't stop smiling the only time I stop is when I have to go to bed and you know I love my sleep.  But really and truly it is amazing here.  My companion is totally amazing.  Elder Ward is my companion and he is from Kaysville Utah.  He ran Cross Country and is running for BYU after his mission.  I am so thankful for a companion that will run with me.  We get along super well and teach lessons with the spirit.  He is so humble and caring for others.  He is going to the Jacksonville, Florida mission.  But I love him and we both are doing awesome.  So my district has either people going to Jacksonville or Atlanta North Georgia mission.  So I'm the odd one out.  But they are all amazing and I feel the spirit so much with them.  Love them lots.  From what I know I am the only missionary going to Uganda here so I'm all alone.  I was told I would be leaving the 7th of July but I haven't got any travel plans or nothing so ya.  But I'm staying positive and I'll go where he wants me to go.  But truly I love it here.  There was a Mission President's training till today so we weren't in the main building.  We had catered food like Costa Vida and Chick Fila.  So it was pretty nice.  Sundays are totally the best here I love them.  We had a devotional from Elder Allen who's a 70 and in charge of missionaries.  So he was super funny and made us really think about how we can be better missionaries and what some of the blessings are.  He served in Guatemala and he converted a man and baptized him in the first month of his mission.  Then he called an Elder up to the stand and that Elder was that mans son.  The spirit was so strong when he told us that.  I can't wait to reap those blessings because when you bring one person to the gospel it affects their whole family.  Then we watched a talk called "Character of Christ" by Elder Bednar.  Totally amazing and if you can you need to watch it.  So he talks about how we turn inward when we are going through tough times while Christ turns outward.  When Christ was fasting for 40 days he he was tempted by Satan.  At the end though he was tired but he found out John was in Prison so he sent help for him.  So he talked about how we need to do that.  Because a mission isn't about us.  We need to serve then we will find ourselves.  Loved it Loved it Loved it.  Really look it up because it will amaze you at how much it makes you think and I have never seen Elder Bednar talk like that.  
I have seen all the fellow bearlakers Elder Keetch, Elder Waechtler, Elder Sharp , and many more.  I saw Sister Brady, Sister Crandall, Sister Young who was in my college ward and institute class.  Also lots of others from institute and Sister Hart who is my next door neighbors friends and I hung out with her over spring break.  
So I don't know when I'm leaving yet.  I might be here for 6 weeks and just be the Elder forgotten about.  
I love love this place so much and right now I don't want to leave but I really love it.  
Best Place on earth :)
Love Lots
Elder Brogan
