First Letter (MTC)
| Bonjour Famille!! | |||
I
am so jealous that you guys got to meet the duck dynasty guys!! (He got to meet Willie from Duck Dynasty but all the rest of the family came the week after he left and he missed seeing them.) I have
never studied for something so long in my entire life. The first day we
had to personal study for an hour, companion study for two hours, and
then language/gospel study for 3 hours and some orientation stuff. The
second day, we had 2 hours of personal study, 2 hours of companion
study, and then I think 5 hours of language/gospel study with three
breaks... Breakfast, lunch, and dinner. But my french teacher is so cool
and so patient. It is only the 6th day and I can say a prayer, bare my
testimony, and teach a short lesson in french! It is crazy what the
spirit can do. My companion Elder Edmunds and I taught our first lesson
to our fake investigator Hospice on the second day and it was awful..
neither of us had a clue what he was saying and I didn't feel the spirit
at all. Sunday was such a nice break. I watched the entire general
conference for the first time in my whole life without falling asleep.
The food here is always luke warm and tastes a little bit like plastic. I
have had constipation for a couple of days so I decided to drink the
orange juice today at lunch. apparently the orange juice is the X-lax of
the MTC. Then on Monday
we had to teach our fake investigator Hospice again. We decided to
teach him the first lesson: The Plan of Salvation or the Plan de salut.
We went in there with no notes and I thought for sure that we were
screwed. After we taught him the lesson, we bore our testimonies and the
spirit was so strong. I didn't think that it would mean as much to me
because it was in french but I was tearing up a little bit. Today we
went through the temple and it was such a nice break. The lord is
definitely testing me here. Gym time is every night around 8:00 til 9:25
and I play basketball a little bit, but there is no one else that plays
really... My district is amazingly uncoordinated and they would all
rather play four square... If you don't know what that is.. It is where
you hit the ball to each other in a box..... It kinda blows. But
anyways! Me and my companions personalities clash so badly, I don't think
that I could have got a worst/best companionship out of all the people
in the world. But it's not about me.
I came in here with a good
attitude and ready to work hard and so far it has helped it go by
really fast. I love learning french and I am ready for 5 more weeks! I
just can't wait to get into France!!! I love all of you guys and I will
send pictures soon!
Love, Elder Carson
I'm not gay I promise. It was scarf day. my companion is the Elder on the left.
These are the elders that are in my room. They are sick! the one right
next to me is Elder Spoors and he is from England, and he is way cool.
