Second week in the MTC

This last week here at the MTC has just been the usual. I am so tired of class but have been learning so u much. I also restarted the Book of mormon and am already almost done with second Nephi, It is amazing how much more the scriptures become when there is no tv, music, or pretty much anything haha. I have made it a personal goal to read the New testament before I finish my mission. In my scripture study I have been reading a lot about the savior and his earthly ministry and I decided I want to read all about that good stuff. My french is slowly improving but it is rather frustrating when we teach lessons and cant figure out how to answer the questions. IT is so much easier to understand what others are saying than it is to speak. We got two new investigators this week. One is being played by frere corbett. He is from the congo and is a evangelicist or something. we asked him to pray and he tried grabbing our hands. Kinda the most hilarious thing ever I started laughing so hard by my comps reaction that i literally put my hands over my face because i couldn't look at anyone without laughing. needless to say we taught him how we pray. Our second investigator is being played by Soeur Lindsay. She is playing an athiest with hodgkins disease, yup pretty much the hardest person you could ever try to teach because she is saying that if there was a god she wouldn't have a disease. Yeah don't know how we are gonna go about that one but we will figure it out. I like that the teachers play as investigators because they can give us feedback which is helpful. My teachers are awesome they are so nice and want us to succeed to bad.

 

So far things are good here. I look forward to the Dear Elders and the letters. It was super nice of the Waltons to send a St. patricks day package and I appreciate it, thank you. I have been enjoying the snacks. Aunt Franking tell the boys that school is a lot easier but not nearly as much fun and It feels great to be around the spirit all the time.

 

I am out of time so I cant write more. Love you all
