Dear Family,
So
finally got your letters from dear elder. And yes it is the best way to do it
because a daily boost is awesome. Oh and don’t worry about distracting, we are
mature+ smart enough to make a decision as a district to get it at lunch, and
right at the end of the day so it doesn’t distract. Anyway thank you for the
support.
Ok,
so first 4-5 days…………………. HORRIBLE!!!!! Sunday roles around, we feel like we
are dead and cannot believe we are awake already. But meetings, lots of studying,
and spiritual awesomness make it all good. So we all feel the same way, the
first 4 days, until Sunday feel like just one big day with the shortest naps in
between. And for me, they were naps. So dad will understand this but I didn’t
dreamthe first 3 nights, or until Sunday night. Hopefully dad understands the
severity of that statement scientifically but that means I never went into REM
sleep, Which means that the 8 hours of “sleep” were basically my body shutting
down but not getting the full rest. I was only recharging my batteries half
way. So Sunday you can imagine how I felt when that alarm went off,CRAZY,
depressed, sad, nervous, why am I here… the whole thing. Anyway … long story
short I was tired.
Ok
so I am going to try and hit major points really quick. Food is goo. I only eat
one plate and one banana and a small bowl of salad (usually cottage cheese )
for every meal. So I am eating fruit and cheese basically every meal. So the only thing I am missing and
others have noticed-FIBER! Elders are having issues in the bathroom. One elder
has a bowl of raisin bran without milk for every meal!! The MTC health center
has a lot of laxative pills we have heard.
Class
is where we spend all of our time. Personal study, language study, and
everything study is in the classroom. We are alone as a district for most of
the time studying away. We try to learn as bestas possible on our own andhelp
each other. During 3 hour chunks twice a day we are taught by a teacher+ then
the other 3 hourchunk we take turns teaching our investigators. I love our
teachers. Expecially sister older.
She is really nice+ really good at helping us understand what we are leaning.
Our teachers are awesome.
My
zone is cool. We have tripled in size when we arrived it is cool.All of the
older missionaries help a lot and all of the olderones have seem to call oir
district their favorite district. We have noticed that our district is way
ahead of everyone else in speaking + understanding german as well as banding as
a family. We all love each other and we are all good friends. P-day- it was
good. Tons of time to do basically anything, laundry was a hassle because
everyone!!!!! Is doing laundry. Its crazy how many do laundry at the same time. I am sure they schedule it
out but they don’t monitor it.
Finding a computer is easy for emails but they still keep you to 30 minutes.
Its going to be in the morning so if you can, that when I will be sending
emails. Oh so dear elder works great. It lets me read +think of responses very
easily.
Ok
, so don’t send food!! Not because I don’t want it but because we have SO MUCH.
Because of other missionaries care packages we have to much food! We get 3
adequate meals a day and the extra food is to much. I figured out that the MTC
pound gain is not from the MTC foor but from all the stuff families send
because they think their sons are starving. LOL
Anyway
yes I have gotten over the depressed hump. I am happy and excited, no more
nerves or jitters. I still get nervous when we teach lessons, because I am not
goo at speaking, but all is good.
Anyway love you guys I will send more letters soon. Love you loads
