Oh and I double Checked the Scripture... it is Doctrine and Covenants 135.

I have two journals here in the MTC and I am trying to condense my "Large Plates" to some Refined "Small Missionary Plates" that I can share special experiences in :)
I have revolved around the saying: "Always remember who your captain is, who's side you are on, and what battle you are fighting." The war in heaven never ended and Satan battles day by day to overcome and lure into the hearts of the Children of God. It is Real! Physically , Emotionally and Spiritually Challenging to overwhelm and destroy your spiritual identity. We prepare talks every Sunday and then the presidency announces who will be speaking in that meeting. It is quite an interesting ploy, to assure you are prepared and not embarrassed do the work and admire the carpets,... hahaha... totally joking! I prepare every week. It was very interesting the last two weeks to see the range in preparation amongst missionaries. Some you could tell put the work in and truly bore their testimonies; however the latter was very evident. Many did not fully prepare and they were left in a panic... I never want that to happen.
The MTC was mourning this week as people hearts were broken and the spirit was able to heal. Death of loved ones and some going home and coming back was a crazy experience to hear.
I cannot imagine losing you, It would be a indescribable trial to have such loss. Hold those you love close and gain a relationship with your Savior.
"Be converted and gain a love in Christ, Not Just a testimony. Those with a testimony will be at risk of falling away..."- Bednar
He's My Hero!
I love the concentration of such pure and simple doctrine.
Love this Time in the MTC
Love you all at home,
Elder Cooper,
England MTC
