What an exciting week!! We get our travel plans either today or tomorrow. I don't know I just received a slip, along with elder painter to the travel office just now!
I am taking pictures no worries mom! ha-ha The computer doesn’t want to recognize the device and I will get some pictures too all of you soon! This past week we have been playing softball during gym time and it is interesting to talk with the natives to teach them American sports. One of them was excited to learn about baseball and the rules. He said, "You Americans have fun sport here!"
My companion and I have been doing well with keeping each other on task and studying the language, which I struggle with but if you are struggling in anything then you are doing it right. We have been reviewing old principles and it makes me feel really good when I can explain a concept to the new missionaries. We have officially began 100% Russian until we leave! AGHHH very hard! But my companion and me participate and I am starting to remember words and how to conjugate and put them into cases. Everyone hears us around MTC and they stare at us constantly and always ask, "How long have you been here?" I always chuckle because I don’t know if they are asking this because we have become so adjusted to the MTC or that our language is out of this world.
I can’t wait to get over there and constantly be surrounded by the language and the culture. I hope I get a good trainer though, because I need as much help in my Russian as I can get! It is true I think I have developed an accent through speaking the language as much as I can! ha-ha. My "P" 's can be nicely rolled now! And my soft vowels are correct when the natives hear it. I will also try to find a way to upload my testimony in Russian as soon as possible.
It has been crazy to think how fast the time has flown since I got in here. Every day I remember looking out the class window the tree went from barren to fully blooming and is now green. If you look at it that way it is forever it seems but not really. I am glad to be going to Russia!! I am so ready to stop sweating! hahaha
Love you all! I got to go! Thank you for the packages, just now the food is being donated to the newer elders if isn’t gone! ha-ha
