The First Transfer!

Today was JT's first transfer- Missionary Training Center to Washington DC!  We were able to speak with him on the phone for a little bit.  He sounded wonderful!!  It is interesting how a couple of weeks of immersion and focus can refine someone.  JT mentioned how the spirit was very recognizable to him- his words- 'It was SWEET!'.  I asked him what his favorite scripture he studied in the MTC - Jacob 6- He has found this chapter helps him understand that he is on a mission to help those he meets understand they can repent, and follow Christ.  Even though sometimes the path is narrow- we all can make it.  Certainly his perspective has been re-aligned, he has his mind focused and is ready to serve.

We had a nice call from the mission president tonight.  The message said- 'Elder Ekberg made it
safe, he ate a BIG meal, had a great testimony meeting and he is doing magnificently!

Love this missionary!
