BONJOUR!
The MTC is pretty great. There is
so much to do all the time and I feel like I've been here for 4 days already!
My residence is in the newer buildings so I feel special! I walked into my
class room, (which is in the new building) first thing I did when I got here,
and my host had told me to prepare myself because my teacher was going to be
speaking all in French. Apparently I didn’t do a great job at preparing myself
because I was still very stunned. I just nod and say, "Oui, ca-va..."
Assuming he is asking me if I understand. But, it's so cool learning the
language. I enjoy it so much. I actually can understand most of what he is
saying, but there are a few phrases here and there I need to learn.
My companion
is Soeur Bennett and she is so awesome. I love her and I couldn't have been
paired with anyone more perfect for me. She is a health FINATIC. She has told
me, "You can consider me a hippie." She eats a lot of organic foods. She LOVES working out doing a ton of exercises.
I guess for me, its good and bad. On one hand I get to work out and stay fit
and on the other I might die because I'M SO OUT OF SHAPE. She has studied French before and
knows about as much as me. She is only a couple weeks older than I am. She loves the French language and always wants
to practice it, which, is good with me!
I opened the
present you guys gave me, the journal, and I started crying. Thank you so much,
I had no idea you were doing that for me. It meant so much and I'm savoring it
all. Father, I really liked what you said. It really got me thinking. I'll keep pondering on that. Mother thank you so much for
putting that journal together. I LOVE IT. And Jeff... yours just made me smile
and shake my head... but thank you.
These pictures are of me and my companion
and some Sisters and Elders that are going to Paris as well and some of our classroom!
Some are going to Canada, actually a lot are, but it's all cool. It's
funny because a lot of the Elders really don't know any French and it's funny
to watch, but I help as best I can with translating for them.
I'll send you the email and you just send it to whoever wants
it. I'm pretty sure we were already planning that, but my brain is scrambled
and I can’t really remember. Speaking of brain being scrambled, boy have I felt
overwhelmed, SO many things to do and so little time. I am nonstop working and
preparing for lessons and preparing to teach investigators and sitting in
classrooms for 3 hours learning nothing but French. I got a headache from
that... We have a ton of teachers teaching us the gospel and how to prepare.
I really do love it, I just need to remember that
the Lord is looking out for me and that it’s normal to feel this way.
How's the family and Maddie and the
house going? When do you start moving? I love you all
so much and I hope you are all doing fabulous. I guess now you can tell that
Friday's are my P-Days! Oh and I signed up for choir! Hehe, Anyways
stay safe
LOVE ALWAYS
Soeur Hunt
