Howdy y'all!
Howdy y'all!
So.. This week has it's happy parts and
it's sad parts. All of our zone left to go to the field. So the Dutch
Turks and Albanians. They have been the coolest people ever and I am
going to miss them! One of the Turks isn't allowed to leave for another
week so he may be in our companionship this week!
We
did a TRC (where the missionaries teach members that speak Hungarian)
and we had an actual Hungarian! It was super crazy. He spoke at, like, a
million miles an hour and when I walked out of the room my room was
fried from trying to focus and translate what he was saying! So
something funny. As we were walking into the room (I was first into the
room) I shook his hand and he said "Szia", which just means "Hello", but
then he said something I didn't understand because he said it so fast, I
was curious. So I listened hard while he shook my other companions
hands. I realized that he was saying his name. So we sat down. And the
first question that my companion asks was "what is your name?".... I
guess we need to work on listening better to people instead of just
asking questions. It was a pretty great lesson. From what I could
understand he was a pretty great guy!
I am
getting better at volleyball! It is a very big sport here in the MTC! I
love playing outside in the sand when the sand isn't trying to burn the
skin off of my body!
So something I have loved
in the MTC is the choir. They let anybody who wants to go in and
practice. It is so cool when we are reaching the end and everybody is
singing out loud. You can feel the spirit so strongly! The MTC truly is
an amazing spiritual place! For July 24 we are having the a Nashville
Christian Rock band come to the MTC and preform! For choir we are
practicing some songs so we can be a huge backup singing group to some
of the bands songs. They are a pretty nasty piece of harmony to learn!
But it is really fun! Our choir director (Brother Eggett) is hilarious!!
He is also super spiritual. He will learn the story behind every song
he has us sing and as we are practicing he will talk about the amazing
the happened to the writer of the song. He has a huge testimony but he
mingles it with funny humor that keeps the atmosphere really awesome!
My
companions are good. I get a long well with one of them. We have had a
bunch of similar things happen pre-mission. So when it is just he and I
we talk a lot. I get along alright with my other one. He picks up on
languages pretty quick. But we don't like talking about the same things
which can be rough ;D
We (my zone) are getting
24 new missionaries going to Dutch speaking missions and 2 weeks later
we are getting 21 Albanian going missionaries and then the week after we
are getting 2 Turks. We are going to have over 50 people in our
district! It is super crazy! And our small Hungarian districts are going
to be the only experienced people.
As everyone
is leaving our branch is losing all of the people that were doing the
assignment... So I, a quieter person than normal, was assigned to be the
door greeter where I will have to talk with everyone coming in and help
them feel accepted! Sweet!! *sigh* I guess the Lord knows where we need
to be to best grow!!
I hope all of you are having amazing lives!!
