This week has been crazy busy with lessons and welcoming new missionaries, but I’m finally a month in and things are pretty good. Here’s the quick rundown of my week:
Thursday- The Fourth of July! We got to play volleyball with the whole zone and then take a zone photo afterwards. We had a religious freedom devotional that night, and then got to stay up late and watch the fireworks. We were inside the whole time though, which makes fireworks slightly less fun.
Friday- We got to teach two lessons in one day, but in English this time, so we understood a little more.
Saturday- Learned the fun new phrase of “Dobře dobře, Pane Bobře!”(pronounced dobshe dobshe pane bobshe). It means “Well well, Mr Beaver,” but it’s just a fun little rhyming phrase they use, sort of like how we have “see ya later, alligator”
Sunday- I sang in the choir again, and found out that I would have the opportunity to welcome a group of new missionaries on Wednesday.
Monday- The elevator in our building broke, so now we have to climb 5 flights of stairs to our classroom multiple times a day. It probably won’t be fixed for another month.
Tuesday- The choir got to sing The Battle Hymn of the Republic for the devotional that night.
Wednesday- We welcomed the new missionaries to our zone, and helped walked them through all the important things to know about the MTC. They are all speaking English so they’ll all leave two weeks before we do. It’s crazy to think we only have 5 more weeks left in the MTC!
It’s always super busy at the MTC, but most of it is fairly repetitive, so I leave it out.
