April 3, 2012 Week 3


Rodinu!
This week at the MTC has been velmy dobre! We´ve still been learning a ton of course, and everyone overall is doing very well. I received only 4 letters this week, QUIT SLACKING! Jim, thank you for the real paper letter, my reply was sent days ago. Anyways, we've started teaching our teachers again, which is pretty fun but still spiritual even though they're portraying other people. Not a ton has happened this week, we got a new district in our branch and the one that came in with us left. They were our bros so it kinda sucked but they're gonna go do work in Nashville and the west indies. The new group is going to Colorado Springs Colorado and are pretty nice. Starsi Simcock and I have actually started to be Zone Leaders now, which is super cool but at the same time very stressful because some of the elders across the hall (who are not in our branch) need to be humbled and stop trying to practice unrighteous dominion over our new elders. Anyway, the language is goinge well, mom to answer your question, they teach us Czech in EVERY WAY YOU CAN IMAGINE. We speak it constantly and have 3 teachers who all teach in completely different way, we have an hour of independent language study a day and an hour of T.A.L.L. a day. Supposedly tall stands for technology assisted language learning but i think it stands for DUMB. Its super boring and at times VERY annoying. Think rossetta stone but reaaaaaalllly badly planned and excecuted. Hmm what else. Oh yeah, I met a new elder yesterday by the name of Archuleta, I think his first name is David? Apparently he's famous. I just think hes kind of standoffish and strange. Generally when you smile and wave people do it back but he acted like I had three heads or something. Whaaaaatever. He lives in the building across from us and learns in the same classroom so we see him alot. HMMMMMMM I'm 15 minutes into my EMAIL time so I'm gonna hop off and reorganise my thoughts. If anyone wants to email me in between I'll be back on at about 5. Also, mom and everyone who can read this, get on facebook and tell Troy to get off his lazy butt and write me a letter!! Flip! I'm dying out here. Dear Elder works best but ANYTHING WORKS. Even email. Hook it up people! 

Starsi Chezik out. 

Well, that plan went to poo, I forgot I have choir practice at 515, and if I wanna sing at the special sacrament meeting I'm gonna hafta go. Anyways, thank you for sending that package, I haven't gotten it yet, but it'll be nice next week to send home some pictures. We´ve been taking loads! Mostly ridiculous ones but oh well. Hmm, what can I tell you? Conference was awesome, I love Jeffery R Hollands talk and also President Uchtdorf's about the why of missionary work. Mostly we thought it was funny because he was directly quoting what our teacher, Bratr Pearson tells us EVERY SINGLE DAY. Also, we figured out over the course of my mission, I'll watch 50 hours of conference. Wow! But it was awesome nonetheless, hmm Elder Simcock has been feeling sick quite a bit lately, I know the waiting room to the health clinic very well now, and so far he's only been prescribed cough syrup and a pillow. I LOVE giving up 4 hours a week for that. Oh wait, we're not supposed to use sarcasm.
 

Hmmmmm, what else... i saw Kendrick several times, we're pretty good friends actually, although he leaves next week, EVERYONE DOES! except us. lame.  Hmmmk, sestra sears's hand finally healed and she left to the C.R. and should'e landed about 12 hours ago. Thank you all for the support, Ifeel you with me everyday, and others feel you too, they really always comment that I  have a natural warmth and love about me. That's you. Take credit.

I'm happy to be a missionary, happy to be learning so much, and happy to have everyone I do, two years is gonna go by like nothing if the last 3 weeks has been any indicator. Matty and Ama (czech versions) I know the last month is gonna be killer, but I suffer having to wait it with you, trust me. I love you all!
