Well like all other weeks, everything is the same here.... I hit a wall around Saturday, right at the halfway point and I didn't know if I could last here much longer but luckily I gained my motivation again! It is amazing that if you just make sure you are working towards something and keep the Lord on your side, you can get through 2 months at the MTC. Which let me just tell you, it is a challenge!!:)
At the same time I am still extremely grateful for this opportunity to have my own time and be with my companions! As sister training leaders we have been extra busy trying to make sure the new people are ok. Class is going well, to give you a sense of how complicated Finnish is, we have learned a new grammar principle every day I have been here... so ya... thats A LOT of grammar principles haha. I think I have a very nice, consistent headache from learning the language. The best part is, I am not too stressed of learning it all now, and the semester of Finnish I took at BYU still proves to help! The best practice is just speaking it and teaching lessons. I know this won't mean much to ya'll but our faux "investigator" we have been teaching for the last month is getting "baptized" on Saturday! Which means we have had to teach a lot of lessons and teach a lot of concepts to her. But it is great being with my companions and being all excited about it even though it isn't real haha.
Something that kinda shook us up a bit is the fact that one of the Elders in our district is going home tonight... He talked with a counselor and they diagnosed him with severe OCD and ADD. So that is really sad... I am sure God has a great plan for him.
Another week down at the MTC! God is great and the church is true, I couldn't do this without knowing that.
Love you all!!!
