Week 7 at the mtc! the official
count right now is that we have 2 weeks and 5 days left. I am definitly ready
to go to Thailand right now! I'm able to read thai script pretty well and the
speaking is coming along ok.
sooooossss yea. I don't know
what else to say. We are just doing some fat mtc stuff. Learning thai every
day. getting to read the book of mormon. I started it over since i've been here
and i'm almost finished. It's cool to be able to do that and see the whole
story it has.
Hmmmmm what else. We get to
fast on sunday. thats chill.... I also learned how to say law of chastity words
such as homosexual, abortion, and sex. I am sure those will come super in handy
later on. you better not edit those out mom. PEOPLE NEED TO KNOW!
We've been doing more awkward
fake investigator teaching lessons. This time we picked up sone new
"investigators" that are our classmates. its kinda weird teaching
them and being their "investigator". especially when people don't
pronounce any of their tones. In thai the tones are just as important as
consonants and vowel sounds. because certain words can be spelled the same and
only differ by a tone. such as the word believe, and devil. They have the same
tone, and they are super similar.
Btw i'm sorry in advance if I
come back sounding like an Asian. that'll be interesting. "herro maam n
dadd!" I think it would sound something like that.
hmmmmmm. oh. The cambodians
left yesterday. They were in 3 weeks before us. It was interesting, there
were some really cool dudes in there. also, some really not cool ones. I
thought it was funny how when we came in we assumed them to be so much older
and having seniority because they were here before. when in all reality they
were also noobs and had only been there for 3 weeks before. Interesting how
perspective can change your view of a person.
But yea. I'm still here just
chugging along in the mtc. It'll be nice to get to Thailand. Hopefully I'll be
able to learn a bit more thai before I get there because I have this creeping
suspicion that im not going to understand a single word when I get over there.
Oh well. thats all part of the fun right??
anways, ya'll have a cool super duper week!
