My First Email

I'm gonna apologize at the beginning because I ain't that good at writing emails but at least i'm writing them right?
I just gotta say that this MTC experience is awesome!! At first I didn't know how it was going to be doing it all online. But for me it has probably been the best case scenario. I got awesome companions in Elder Robison And Elder Johnson. Our companionship is the best thing ever. We are always laughing. But when we teach people we are able to let the spirit in and help us teach. We have a lot of fun messing around and we also have a lot of fun teaching the gospel. And I don't think we could do that with just two of us at this point. Me and Elder Johnson are the goof balls of the group and we like to call Elder Robison the mom of the group because even though he joins in on the fun He always brings us back so we can plan and learn about the gospel.
I Love my Companions
I Love the MTC
I Love the Gospel
And I Love and miss all you guys 

Love Elder Clay Gunnell

Week 7 - Modern Army of Helamen

Image
We received this letter from Clay's mission president  on September 4th, 2020 We are thrilled with the news that the St. Paul Temple will start “phase 2” on Monday, September 7.  This means that almost 60 of our missionaries will have the opportunity to receive the endowment.  We are beginning to make a schedule for “missionary” temple sessions that will take place over the next 8-12 weeks.  This will be a complicated process as we work around missionary-related efforts—zone/district conferences, interviews, service, finding, and teaching.  We will also need to work out some logistics   before   our missionaries receive the endowment.  For example, they need to have garments as we do not have a distribution center in Minnesota.  They will NOT need their own temple clothing as the Temple will be able to accommodate   missionary   needs.   Some of our missionaries have asked if their parents would be able to attend the templ...

Week13 - Finally the Temple

Image
Well he finally made it to the Temple for the first time after 3 weeks of home MTC and 13 weeks out in the Mission Field.  He said he enjoyed it and that he was there with 14 other Missionaries.  Only 4 of them had never been through before.   I must admit, the entire day I felt sad and guilty that I wasn't there with him.  But had to keep reminding myself that we both agreed that us not coming would be best for both of us.  I hope that we will be able to attend the temple again sooner, rather than later.   This whole covid thing is just making things so different.  Clay said the Temple was SO TINY.  They have a stake center next to the temple that dwarfs the Temple.   I think it's neat he gets to experience the temple in a different location other than Utah.  I almost thought Clay was just as excited about this Chicken restaurant as he was about going through the temple  The Stake president took them here to eat afte...

Week 18 - 1st Transfer - day before Thanksgiving

 Well, well, well..... Clay just received his first transfer on his Mission.  He was SO EXCITED when he found out where he was going.  He is getting transferred to Ashland Wisconsin.  This is a little town (population is about 9000) right on the bay of Superior Lake.  When I googled the place, the pictures were amazing.  Once he got there and sent pictures, they equally looks amazing.   When Clay first got his Mission Call, he said he hopes that he will be able to serve by the Great Lakes, well that hope just became a reality.  His new Missionary companion has only been out 6 week longer then he has and his name is Elder Dallin Hamby from California.  Clay secretly hopes he know how to surf.   I learned how the Transfers work.  You find out if you are getting transferred on a Monday, then you will leave that following Wednesday to the Mission house, then you will get dropped off and your new companion will pick you up and ...
