(Excerpt from Matt's letter to his Mom)
Sorry I don´t have a chance to answer all of your questions or respond this week. I don´t even know if I am going to get my first P-day until next Monday in the field because today is the field p-day but the mtc p-days are on Thursday. The price we have to pay I guess, but we do get dominos pizza tonight so Im sure excited about that! Ill make sure when I do get to email I answer all of your questions and let you know all the amazing things about my first area and what not. Basically tomorrow morning I will wake up and head out on a train to the mission home in Malaga. They will probably let me email you guys again to let you know that I got there safely, and then from there I assume we meet our trainers and find out where we are going! Based on where we are going we will spend the night at the mission home or just get out into the field!
Its crazy to think the MTC is already over, but I am really super ready and excited to get out of here and into the real world of the mission. I love and miss you guys, but my time is up!
Hope you guys are doing well!
Elder Jenkins
"There will be times when you will feel overwhelmed. One of the ways you will be attacked is with the feeling that you are inadequate. Well, you are inadequate to answer a call to represent God with only your own powers. But you have access to more than your natural capacities, and you do not work alone. The Lord will magnify what you say and what you do in the eyes of the people you serve. He will send the Holy Ghost to manifest to them that what you spoke was true. What you say and do will carry hope and give direction to people far beyond your natural abilities and your own understanding...Your call has eternal consequences for others and for you. In the world to come, thousands may call your name blessed, even more than the people you serve here."
