July 15, 2017 The MTC is amazing! Mariah Housari told me that when she walked in she was super happy and I feel the same way. Getting up at 6:30 and going to bed around 10:30 or later is completely worth it. I feel like I am truly studying the scriptures and receiving answers to questions I might have. Leaving my phone was so easy. It would be convenient to have a tablet or phone but I know ill just know the scriptures better as I study them and remember them.  To Mackay and Grayci- Try to separate yourself from technology. It is always good to put down the Ipods, controllers, and other electronics and to focus on something greater that will help your life in the future. Study the scriptures. Dont just read them and go through the motions. Truly study and ponder them. Learn the meaning and importance of each scripture. Study conference talks and other scripture. Dive into the knowledge God has to offer to you. I know that it will bless your life. I hope everything is going well.
