It’s hard to believe that I’ve already been here two whole weeks! They keep us so busy here in the MTC that it’s hard to find time to think. This past week was the Mission President Seminar, so all the missionaries that are here got the opportunity to hear from members of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles and First Presidency of the Church, and it was amazing! My district, which is every other missionary going to the Czech/Slovak Mission, got to meet our new Mission President and his wife. It’s so exciting to meet the two people that will be guiding and directing the mission for the next three years. Anyways, here’s a quick rundown of my week:
Friday: The gym closed for the seminar, which meant we had to go out to the field every day for exercise, which meant lots of volleyball for me and my district.
Saturday: My class got to go for a little walk around the campus asking our teacher what different words were in Czech, which was surprisingly fun. We also met our Mission President for the first time that night.
Sunday: We got to listen to Elder Holland speak to us, and it was an incredible experience. Afterwards, we got to spend more time with the Mission President and his wife.
Monday: My companionship got to teach a fake lesson to our teacher entirely in Czech for the third time, but this time it actually felt like we were really able to communicate a lot.Our Mission President also stopped by to tell us that all our visas were in!
Tuesday: My district spent a lot of time with the Thai speakers that are in my zone, and we’re starting to pick up maybe a little too much Thai
Wednesday: We had our first TRC tonight, so we got to talk to a bunch of returned missionaries and conducted a couple lessons entirely in Czech
I’ll send the photos in a bit, they’re all on my iPad right now.
