Leaving the MTC

Elder Gibby left the MTC today to head to Oaxaca, Mexico! It's so crazy! After 6 weeks of being in the same city as him, it's a little sad that when I go to work I can't say, "Adam's here! He's just in a couple buildings over! WE'RE SO CLOSE TO HIM RIGHT NOW."

I told him not to, but being the incredibly thoughtful guy he is, he sent me a package as a half-birthday/Easter/leaving-the-MTC present. There was candy in it and a picture of Christ walking out of the tomb when he was resurrected. But the best part was this little guy:

A Book of Mormon?! Really? What could be so special about that? Well, let me tell you!

In this copy of The Book of Mormon, Elder Gibby highlighted and underlined verses throughout it. He made a key at the front of the book that said which verses related to Patience, Love, Faith, etc. Then he underlined verses that related to us. He included suggestions of things to do while I read. For example, in the Book of Enos he said "Write down all the things you are grateful for!"

While flipping through it, I came across some things that quite literally made me laugh out loud.
