Salut Everyone,
The first week at
the MTC went quick!
My companion is
Elder Bonner from Heber. Nice kid - He dances, sings and is always
full of energy!
When it comes to the
Romanian language, I have no idea what I’m doing! We teach a fake investigator once a day that
speaks only Romanian which becomes a challenge.
When she asks questions, it becomes hard. Just yesterday we misunderstood and told her
the going on a mission was a commandment!
Our district has four Elders
and five Sisters. The other two Elders are Anderson, a super nice kid from
SoCal that is actually normal; his companion Elder Duker. Duker reminds me of Sheldon off of the Big Bang
Theory. He is from Iowa and was home schooled. The kid is wicked smart. The sisters are all cool! Two are from Utah, one from Boston, Texas and
Georgia. They’re all super nice and get
on us when we get off task.
We had a pretty
cool experience this week. Sister Hovey (Boston) felt really sick the Friday
after we arrived. She went to the doctor
in the MTC and he gave her a few numbing pills that gave her no relief. He said that it was likely her appendix and it
may have to be removed. She asked ME of all people for a blessing; I’ve never
given one! I had to read from the
handbook how and borrow oil from the Italian Elders. The cool part was that
after the blessing we went down the hall and left Sister Hovey with her
companions. It had been five minutes when we came back, to find her crying. I
thought we had messed-up the blessing and she was either mad or just hurting. When I asked her what was up she replied
"it’s gone" (meaning the pain). It was pretty cool, but I learned quickly that
I need to be more prepared; even if it’s only your 3rd day in the MTC.
