So today is finally p-day!! I'm so glad. I’ve only been here
a week and I’m already exhausted!
The MTC is great! I've never really had a freak out or
anything where I sit and wonder...what the heck am I doing here? I mean it's kind
of weird and different...but it's great. And most people who know me know that
I am the kind of person who gets stressed out our freaks out over even little
things. But even though it's really hard...I’m super calm and happy still.
Time here is so warped. I feel like we've been here for
months...like no joke. But at the same time it feels like p-day took FOREVER to
get here. Our days are just so busy they do seem to go by pretty fast. Which is
good since we spend like 12-15 hours a day in class!!! It gets a bit
overwhelming but it's fun.
SO just quickly the best part so far was on Sunday. We all
sang the "Spirit of God" and it was so cool because we all did it on
our own languages but then for the "Alleluia" part that's all regular
and it was just really cool. It gave me goose bumps. And the best part was they
asked Jake to give the opening prayer in Albanian and asked me to give the
closing prayer in Hungarian! It was really great. It has seriously been so
awesome not only being in the MTC at the same time as Jake but being in the
same zone! Seriously so fun!!
So the first day I got here I was greeted by all the girls
in my zone who screamed and ran and hugged me and said "Elder Simons has
told us so much about you! We've been waiting for you!!" It was pretty
great. On DAY TWO at the MTC...we could bear our testimonies in HUNGARIAN! DAY
TWO!!!
My district is great. We were kind of dysfunctional and
weird at first...but we've really tried to sit together at meals, go to devotionals
together, and support each other in learning Hungarian. It's been so great the
last few days. Our zone is pretty great too. I love all the Albanians and the
Finnish sisters. They’re so nice.
HUNGARIAN IS HARD! Wow! But it's so fun. And we kind of all
get stressed that we are still struggling and trying to learn it but hello
we've been here for a week and the fact that we can put any sentences together,
bear our testimonies and pray in Hungarian is pretty impressive. At least I
think so. Oh and we had to teach an "investigator" (who is just our
teacher) on like the second or third day here!! I'm not going to lie that is
pretty stressful...but it's okay. We are slowly getting better. Our teachers
are great. They are all really nice and helpful and not intimidating.
Tudom hogy Jezus Krisztus el es Igen a Mennyei Attyank.
Tudom hogy a evangeliumot a szentirasok igaz.
(English translation: I know that Jesus Christ lives and that God is our
Heavenly Father. I know the gospel and scriptures are true.)
For anyone I didn't have time to write...I'm so sorry we are
so pressed for time for emails! But I printed them all out so I can read them
and respond to you next p-day! Thanks to everyone for the love and support. I
Loved opening my email and seeing so many emails from family and friends! Love
you all!
Love,
Emily xx
