Thank you for your letters! They really make my week. Thank you Katherine and Abby for the most recent letters I received (via DearElder) och thank you for the rest of the letters I got. Yes, I have received the letters you sent via DearElder, Jeff and Courtney-- and thank you for them! Really. I love hearing from you all.
This week was exciting. It's March! I just got the cookies you sent, Mom/"fam fans." I am excited to share them. Today we are having our second "English Fast" of our stay here at the MTC. The first one was Friday and we fasted (from food and drink) too, for the Svenska foklet (eller "Swedish people"). It was really great. Man, it really hit me this week how seriously easy Swedish is. People ask if it is hard. The only real answer to that has to be no. I mean it is harder than not learning a new language, but if you are going to learn a new one, this would be just about the easiest one ever! It has the same sentence structure as English! I was just remembering French. That is hard. With all the le and en and y and la and all switched order. I am very blessed to be able to learn this. It still sounds kind of hard! Nice. I hope you will forget this and be really impressed when you hear me speak later. I am still very blessed by the Lord in learning the language and I still really need his help.
To be continued....
I love you!
Okay here we go again!
Now, I am in the laundry room with all my best friends. Well, all my friends. That is literal. Anyway-- hey Elder Badoni (Lance) is on my floor for class! Interesting, eh? Ja. It's pretty cool to have that connection.
One of my biggest weaknesses is laughing. I mean, I just laugh when I am happy and being a missionary makes me happy so I like to laugh. I am working on it. Like this week in Districts Meeting, we were in this small room all in a circle around the room and then we had to stand up and sing. But, we didn't have books or anything so we all stood up to face eachother and sing and we didn't know where to look or what to do with our hands and it was just funny! So, I tried hard not to laugh, but then my face was turning all red and apparently no one else was really having a problem except one Elder who just always laughs when someone else is laughing even if he doesn't know why. It was funny. Anyway, there you go.
The TRC was good this week. We taught the first lesson again in Swedish. We are struggling to learn the second lesson now in Swedish. We have to teach Sara (our teacher) tomorrow. My teachers are so funny and SO different. Syster Ronndahl is literally funny and Broder Killian is funny in the not funny way. Funny. He is just very serious and very black and white and likes to be our boss. I don't like so many bosses who are not really my bosses. Well, he is pretty much the only one who is not my boss. I have many weaknesses as you can see.
I am wasting time trying to think of things to say! Thank you, Mom for telling me about Sarah Doxey. And I hadn't heard. That is exciting. Isn't that kind of where she wanted to go? Koolt.
Congratulations, Rachel, on your solo. That is way exciting! I do not know that song, I think. I sent a few things out this week; I hope that you got them or get them soon.
This week I learned more about the Atonement. That reminds me: Dad, I don't know if you realized it, but your testimony was in English and I think you meant to do it in French. I am not sure. I was wondering if someone could write a testimony to me in French.
I love my Savior. I love you! I have to go!
