HELLLOOOO‏. May 5, 2011


HEY! 
         Its a beautiful day here in the mtc, the sun is shining, the flowers are popping, and the room smells like laundry, which i love. Not only did i get emails from sara and jean marcell (which i loved) but i got one from my korean brother, juwon kim, who is doing very good, it was awsome to hear from him. im pretty sure his time in the military is finished. Other noteables are the letters i got on monday from mom, dad, and daniel, and another from mom yesterdaty. Seriously you guys i cant explain what those letters do for me. Thank you. To answer your question mom, no, i didnt get any of the ones you sent from sedona, but i got the one you sent monday (or saturday or sunday) and the one yesterday, so you did something right the last couple of times.
              Things are good here. Were working hard and learning very valuable things about teaching, the kind of things i know i need, but i dont know how i need them until theyre taught if that makes sense. Like for the last three days ive been trying to think of a way to like do a better job of cultivating the spirit in a lesson, just keep building it and building it without stopping, and yesterday hermano tingey gave us an awsome example of how to teach the first vision, which includes like 6 oppertunities to bare testimony and im really excited to get it down in spanish so i can put it to use in next weeks trc. I talked to presidant nally yesterday (the first counciler in the mtc presidancy) and he asked me and elder hunt to ask our teacher about the first vision and how it helped him teach on his mission, and then report back to him. It just happened that the first vision was hermano tingeys favorite thing to teach and he had great insight on how powerful it could be, more than anything else he taught on his mission. We did the math came up with a conservative 3000 times of him using it in the 2 years. what a question for presidant nally to ask eh? any other teacher might not have had that experience. Hermano Tingey said it was because Elder Kukuchi Came to his mission and taught them to teach it that way and then came 2 years later to check up and see how well they were doing it. Just a pretty cool coincidance i think, since coincidances dont happen to missionaries right?
            Ive been having an ear problem this week, but i got some like prescription nasal spray from the clinic that they say will fix it, and i went ahead and had them bill home haha, so pops i owe you a ten spot. With the new p-day we do the temple in the afternoon instead of morning, which i really like, its been been a really relaxing and rewarding few days, due in no small part to the powerful encouragement and love i received from yall on monday im sure,.
           Dad, i am so glad sedonas ride was what you wanted, i was thinking about you the whole time, we see riders on the road outside our window all the time and sometimes from a distance they look just like you, except meybe a little lazier.
        Mom, imma write you another letter today, hope you get it before the weekend but who knows.
           Everyone else, I love yall and miss yall, daniel and christal, imma hit you back.
              Bran and Kass, i know youre busy,  think ill try to send you a letter anyway but i wont fill it with questions. Tell your kids i love and miss them and want them to send me some pictures they draw.
                   Anyone else whos reading this, write to me, especially if youre a girl im not related too!
                                   Love, Elder Bridge
                           P.S i thought mom and dad would get a kick out of a certain package i got last week from a girl who lives in great falls. It had a ten page letter in it. Guess who? dun dun dun!
