My first week was so good!! I have learned tons and felt the spirit all the time it’s so cool! The first couple days were pretty stinking long but it’s because we didn’t get our exercise time in but now we do so I’m chillin! Its so cool to be surrounded by a bunch of kids who have the same goals as you and it brings the spirit to things so strongly! My district is so cool even though we're all really different from each other. The language is coming pretty slow because I’m with a bunch of GENIUSES which is hard cuz they’re cruising with the language and I’m just over there sayin “ hvordan seirman dette er engelsk?” What does that mean in English? 😂😂 it’s alright tho I just need the gift of tongues to kick in reeaaal quick. My language teacher doesn't like to joke around much either but sometimes I try to get her to lighten up and say a few things just so I can stay awake. The days are long for sure! All that tutoring helped me a ton but none of the other Elders did it and they're already all caught up with me! I do believe I have the lowest ACT score and took the least amount of AP and honors classes in high school out of my group! I think all the straight arrows come to Norway! My whole district sung in their high school choirs and are musically inclined in some sort of way. They told me I was a bass and are trying to teach me to sing, I let them know I just sing country songs in the shower! But they've made me join the MTC choir and I'm embracing it! They're putting together some musical number as a district but I wasn't invited to participate so I guess I'm not quite ready to perform in front of others! I do love to sing the hymns in Norwegian because I feel the spirit so strongly when I do, it's amazing! None of the Elders in my district have ever been to the gym or lifted weights so I'm going to teach them what I did in high school and put them through a workout! It will be fun!!! They made me the district leader the day I arrived at the MTC so that means I have to go pick up everyone's mail and deliver it to the missionaries in my district. Well, I'm the butt end of everyone's joke because I haven't received one package, letter or email from my family since I've gotten here. They all say, "Wow, your family really did just drop you off and head to Lake Powell, did they forget about you?" I just laugh, hope you guys had fun! Other than that it’s the same schedule every day wake up, daily plan, go get breakfast, go work out, get ready, do language study, go to lunch, then go to language class, then language study, then go to language class till it’s time to go to bed. Nothing to interesting except we had some AMAZING devotionals which were super spiritual and sick! If you have time watch the devotional "Character of Christ" by Elder Bednar with the fam. It's so powerful and the spirit was so strong when we all watched it, I loved it! We got jipped last week and had to skip p day but it’s here now so I’m good.
This will be my MTC mailing address so y’all can send me stuff too!! Love ya!!
