Week 3- Halfway mark

Tommorow I'll be halfway through my 6 weeks at the MTC! All of the days have just blended togethter so it feels like one ultra day! This place is da best! I dont know if I've already told you but the food is DELICIOUS! (after we add salt to it of course) do you think they've even heard of seasonings over here?

Sister Buttars left last Thursday. That was an interesting morning. Her bus was leaving at 6 am so she was supposed to get up and go to breakfast a 4:45, have her room checked and then go, but at 5:55AM we all wake up to a knock on our door and President Preston is out there saying, "sister Buttars are you in there?" ahhhh! she slept through her alarm!! We all ran around like mad packing up her stuff while she got dressed. it was crazy!

We have a whole new group of missionaries here and there's three new sisters Sister Mataia from Samoa, Sister Obley from New Zealand and Sister Dollman from South Africa. I am in HEAVEN! I love meeting people from all over the world!! its so cool! I love my district! they are so fun!! Yesterday we all spent 30 minutes quoting Napoleon Dynamite. I was pretty proud of how well I knew that show until when Elder Sorensen knew the whole thing word for word and did the accents perfectly!!

My German is coming along slowly but surely... I'm really struggling with memorization and understanding grammar stuff. There's so many grammar rules.. and I suck at grammar!! honestly i didnt even know what a verb was until 3 days into my MTC stay.. How the heck did I get through two years of college without knowing that?

Me and my companion had a super cool teaching experience this week! We had been feeling bad about our lessons because they weren't powerful and we didnt feel like we could teach by the spirit because we had been translating what we were going to say before hand, and we didn't know how to say anything! so when we would get into the lesson we could only read from our notecards so they were terrible lessons. if our investagator had a question we couldn't even expand on that topic. We asked our teacher for advice and she said to just memorize as many words as possible that pertainedtot that lesson, and then rely on the gift of tongues for the rest. So we did. The next appointment we had we went without any notecards and it was so cool!! We were able to answer her questions and have conversations and teach the lessons with the spirit. Granted our German was verrry broken and simple.. but who carrresss. im speaking German!

Ok everyone, try to learn how to play ultimate tic-tac-toe, its so fun. we play it here all the time! probably more than we should...

Last Sunday we had a devotion with Elder Charles of the Seventy and I had to sing in a trio! Somehow i got dragged into that one... but its was fun!
