Hi mom! My first day at the MTC was pretty interesting, the
language is difficult but getting locked out of your room is worse! I'm not
sure if my letter has gotten to you yet (I sent it Saturday) but I have two
companions so I'm in a trinity haha I've taken pictures of my time here, I sent
you a few. My teachers are pretty cool, vershickalick icka means despicable me
and ch and g are pronounced in a guttural fashion. In my district there are my
two companions, two sisters and I. In the zone, we have two district of
Dutchies that are going to the Netherlands/Belgium mission along with a couple
of Danish elders and the Swedish and Norwegian have quite a lot on both sides
of them. The Dutchies and our district become pretty quick friends, we
recognized each others quotes (mostly monty python and hot rod) so it was
pretty funny whenever we talk about it. We've been learning a large amount but
you can only hold so much water in your hands, so we've been forgetting quite a
lot but we relearn it and go through it quite a bit. The food here is pretty
good, for my first couple of days we had to eat in the gym because the 1st
presidency was training new mission leaders, our district got to meet ours and
he talked about opening up Aruba and Curacao since they're main language is
Dutch. Also, can you send me some doterra stuff? I've been sick since I've got
here and it's getting quite annoying (coughing, runny nose, congested,
sneezing) Tell the boys that when they go to the MTC don't eat the hot dogs,
they taste pretty funky. Tell dad that I'm starting to wish that I had asked
him about his mission journal. Hard to believe it's only been a week, it's
taken forever but it's also felt pretty quick, choir was interesting as I only
got to go to one rehearsal before a performance (my companions didn't like it
very much) well I'm doing a bunch of laundry and I hope my whites stay that
way. I miss you all more than I thought I would but even with all of my doubts
and homesickness I know that I'm better off here!
Love and miss you all!
