Hallo EVERYONE!!! It's Sister Losee!!! I have survived three
days in the MTC!! Man do I have some things to say about my time here. First of
all: The days are ETERNAL!! You feel like the day last FOREVER and NEVER ends.
Yet you still feel like you don't have enough time to do what has been asked of
you.
I can't even tell you guys how many times I have said to
myself (and aloud): I wish I was speaking English!!! Wednesday was probably one
of the most confusing days of my WHOLE life!! I am still getting used to the
rules and the times and places and expectations and meetings. That all wouldn't
be so bad, but then our Teacher ONLY talks to us in German and it is just super
crazy right now.
On Friday we taught our first lesson to an investigator ....
in GERMAN!! It went... hmm... how would you say it went? Not very well. haha my
companion and I basically read everything we said off of note cards, the prayer
was two sentences long and we basically went away telling him he is a child of
God and that Himmlischer Vater loves him. (Heavenly Father) It was super funny
when we tried to talk about the Holy Ghost and I only said Geist (ghost) and he
went : Geist? Like Ooooh oooh and he raised his arms and acted like a ghost. So
Markus just might believe that if you join our church a ghost will be haunting
you!
I totally forget to mention some important stuff:
1.My companion is Sister Racca and she is very nice and we
actually get along. Day one she told me that I looked like I would be super shy
and wouldn't talk, but I'm the opposite. (sometimes I talk too much). She
struggles with the language and is kind of slow at everything but that is
okay.
2.My residence is on the fourth floor. THAT is a lot of
stairs to walk everyday.
3.The food is GREAT and I need to not eat a lot or else I
will be fat.
4.Sister Racca and I got called as sister Training Leaders.
Things just got a lot more stressful. We have to do interviews for all the
sisters and we carry around a phone in case the front desk needs to contact the
sisters. Oh and we have to teach the lesson in Relief Society on Sunday as well
as prepare a talk in German. And we just have more meetings. It's a little scary
and I feel like I'm probably not the best person for the calling, but the Lord
knows best I guess. I'm just glad Sisters can't be zone leaders hahaha.So to
show that we shouldn't be in charge examples:
1. We forget/lose everything!!
Especially Sister Racca, she is the MASTER of losing things. She has lost her
bag, her swipe card (multiple occasions) and her keys and other miscellaneous
items. It's pretty funny though.
2. On Night one they take you on a tour
and the sister training leaders who took us on a tour thought they LOST us and
so that was pretty good hahaha.
5.I am doing GREAT! Friday was a really hard day, not going
to lie. I got VERY discouraged with the language and with trying to teach in a
language I can barely understand, let alone speak. But I am happy and
good.
My district is awesome, we sometimes have too much fun. It's
hard to balance the hours and hours of serious study with fun and joking. But I
love my district and my teacher Sister Mucke (aka Sister Mosquito in German) is
fun and has a sweet spirit. She is from Germany and just wants us to succeed.
Love you EVERYONE!! (sorry for the novel)
Wish me luck as I have to teach ANOTHER lesson to Markus in
German tonight!!
Love,
Sister Losee
