Hallå alla! I just want you all to know that the MTC
is amazing! It's kind of a prison, but it's a prison inspired and run
by God. Isn't that awesome! Twice a week we get devotionals from like
the seventy or whoever. Those are awesome. Claudio R.M. Castro spoke
yesterday, and he talked about how we can count the number of seeds in
an apple, but we can't count the number of apples in seed, and we won't
get to see the true fruits of our labors as missionaries until after we
cross the veil. Very djupt (deep) haha my district is amazing. We can
all joke around and have the best time with each other. Äldte Hatch is
an elder from another district, the other day his companion was
bothering him so he just turned and said, ''you will wet the bed tonight''.
seriously the funniest threat I've ever heard, we laughed for like 5
minutes. Anyways, being the DL is the coolest. I get to order everyone
around and do my bidding haha NOT!! It mostly means they make fun of me
as a district instead of individually like everyone else. The other day
Äldste Lloyd in my district found out I was a little but ticklish and
suddenly like I was on the ground with like 5 guys tickling me.
Missionaries man. I brought that up in our next district meeting and
used all of my constitutional powers as a DL to make a law prohibiting
tickling other Missionaries. So yeah. I've been in the choir like every
single time I can so far, it's an incredible experience everytime. 10/10
would recommend. OH and I saw Elder Hannigan on my temple walk on Sunday!
He seemed pretty happy, I was just glad I saw someone I knew. My
companion is from Provo and seems to know like every other missionary
here. yep. Everyone here loves my magic, they think I'm pretty magical,
but they all make fun of my laugh. Was my laugh weird? Do you guys think
my laugh is weird? It's not. It's not weird. Yep. Quote of the day:
"Being at the MTC is like drinking out of a fire hydrant, you get a
little water, but mostly your face just hurts." Pretty accurate. I can
totally pray in Swedish now, and teach really basic crappy lessons which
I have to do everyday. It's funny, I really only ever get like 30 of
actual personal study time here, mostly I just write lessons and
translate them in Swedish. Here's a Swedish prayer for all of you
through email.
Kare
Himmelske Fader, Jag tacker dig för mina många välsignelser, och för
folket att hjälpa mig att lära och förbereda vardag. Hjälpa Alli att
hitta sant karlek. Välsigna min distrikt Herren, med styrka att arbeta
bra och med karlek för varandra. Jag är så tacksam för MTCen och för min
hälsa och min kamrat. Välsigna min familj, och Jag sager dessa saker i
Jesu Kristi namn, amen.
Google translate that mess if you have time. I love all of you! Jag älskar er!
