Hoe gaat het? How's it going? Things in the MTC are crazy. My first week seems like a blur. I've been here for a week but it feels like a day. And yet at the same time it feels like an eternity. I love the MTC it has such an amazing spirit. I have never been more frustrated in my life but the rewards I have received from being here are beyond description. I have grown so much closer to God. So my companion is Elder Sadler from Illinois. He's a pretty good guy. We don't have much in common, so it's been kind of tough for me to get along with him. But I know with time it will all work out. 5 other Dutch missionaires came into the MTC the same day that I did. Elder Vanrij, Elder Kunz, Elder Mortensen, Elder Sadler, and Zuster Wimmer. They make up my district. They are awesome. So your district is kind of like your class you are with them all day everyday. Then your district is in a zone or group of districts. Espen is in my district. He's actually my district leader! I have seen every single one of my buddies in the MTC. Brent and I actually live on the same floor so we have a little pow wow every night and catch up on the days events.
I still haven't gotten used to the schedule 8 and a half hours of sleep is not enough for me...I have been dragging my butt on the ground most days. So my daily schedule goes something like this..wake up 6:30am and shower and get ready. Breakfast at 7:20am then personal study time at 7:50am. I have 2 three hour classes each day and 50 minutes of gym time. I have an hour language study. Dutch is kicking my butt. It's really hard. But I am understanding more and more everyday. Our teachers are Broeder Christiansen and Broeder Justice are awesome!
Well I gotta go! Ik hout van u! I hold to you! or I love you!
