Hi Mom and Dad! Just wanted to let you guys know I love you to start my email! But what a crazy week! Probably the hardest week of my two at the MTC so what does that tell ya? No but really. The MTC is amazing, and the spirit is awesome here!
Wednesday, First p day was awesome! It was pretty good I guess, there's lots of stuff to do and it's way busy but the temple is amazing! Love it!
Thursday Read Omni for gift of tongues stuff! How awesome! I learned about becoming truly converted to my people I'll be serving, to be focused on them is to be converted
Friday. Oh and I hyper extended my knee that day too! Awesome! (I'm better now don't worry mom;) Imagine Dragons album dropped that day, I hope it's good, anyway! Learned more about the Book of Mormon! It is so ordained of God, if that makes sense! I love it!
Saturday Awesome discussion about Jesus Christ! About the plan of salvation and Jesus' role and Satan's role in the plan, wow it was cool
Sunday Everyone was freaking out that there were apostles around campus and then a bunch of the Germans thought Elder Uchtdorf was in our building so they were freaking out. That was funny, but the devotional was super awesome!
Monday Kind of a tough day, I wasn't really feeling that well and I kinda was grumpy but it all got better I'm ok now!
Tuesday - the day of Bednar(s) Was so awesome!!! First we had an awesome district meeting where we watched a talk by Elder Bednar about 20 marks that definitely answered my prayers regarding the kind of sadness I was feeling from the day before it was so sweet! Then I gave my first blessing! And the Holy Spirit truly tells you exactly what to say let me just tell you, it is amazing. Then we had a lesson from one of the outgoing mission presidents, President Bednar and his wife, and it was awesome! He told us to rely on the spirit and make sure that we don't plan out everything that we say, it was very special.
And then I saw Jackson Lloyd! (Sorry if I spell his name wrong!) that made my day it was so awesome!!!!!! And then! We went to choir and learned about the Restoration of the church and the martyrdom of Joseph and Hyrum Smith, it was the 173 anniversary by the way, and it was amazing. At the devotional we sang/signed praise to the man and it was amazing! Joseph Smith is definitely a prophet! And the speaker last night was...drumroll....Elder Bednar! Oh but there was also Elders Christofferson, Oaks, Cook, Renlund, Rasband, Stevenson, Anderson, Ballard, and Holland. Wow! Ten apostles! It was astonishing! They testified of the Lord the second they walked in the room! They are truly prophets called of God!
That brings us to today where not much has happened yet, I guess all the dryers are broken though so we have to dry everything by hanging it around our room, it's going to be great! But I am so happy for all the people that have emailed me and talked to me! You never realized how precious email is until you never have anyone but the same 12 people to talk to all day. But it's been great, it definitely doesn't get any easier though it still is tough, but if you keep loving the Lord and keep working to feel closer to Him He will bless you, he is the only one that know us personally and knows how to show us His love for us. But I would love to hear from everyone!
Love you guys so much! You're the best! To anyone struggling, keep going, keep trucking forward, we receive no witness until after the trial of our faith, so just keep believing in the Lord our God and he will strengthen you when you need it, I promise!
To my siblings, you're awesome! I love you guys so much! I'm so proud of you all! You're the best!
I love you all so much!
Love, Elder Schoemig
Mom I could really use one of those tide pen things, some Powerade! You totally were inspired to ask me that last night! And I got a water bottle and packed my flip flops so I don't need those. I might need soap soon though, and I think that's about it!
Anyway Love you Mom and Dad! So proud to be your son! You're the best!!
And I'm so glad you saw Wonder Woman! What an awesome movie! I still get excited! Haha
Oh and good luck to Slater/Elder Lloyd and anyone else who is entering
an MTC this week! You'll do awesome!
