No, We Aren't Getting Trunky, President Harding
Alrighty, let's jump right
into it. Not much has happened this week, but there are a few things of
note. First off, I am now the district leader. This means that I get the mail, lead the
district meetings, and send and extra email to the Branch President on
P-day. We got new zone leaders as well.
Elders Crook and Shamshoian. It's
crazy. we have been calling this since
the second day here. Other zone news:
today we get 23 new missionaries. 21 Elders and 2 Sisters. They all are
learning Vietnamese! It's going to bring a much different dynamic and feel to
the zone that's been mainly Armenian and Russian speaking for the entire time
that we've been here. Hopefully they can make the four-square meta more
interesting.
Our Branch President,
President Harding, has made sure that we know that we shouldn't be getting
trunky. But we are leaving in less than two weeks. We get our flight plans in three days. How can we not? But we are resolved to not talk about it in
front of anybody else in the zone. Anyways. My Skype TRC was much better this time
around. It was with an Armenian lady
that lives in Georgia. She was
awesome. She also spoke much slower, but
she had a screaming baby in the background, which was not ideal. I
understood pretty well, and had good balance in the lesson.
The Russians all left and it
was really sad. We got really close to them over the past seven
weeks. We cleaned the temple today.
It was good. We discussed what
language was hardest. We decided since President Bostrom (the last
mission president of our mission) said that Georgian is the hardest language,
that it goes Farsi and/or Arabic (that's a maybe), then Georgian (maybe beating
out Farsi/Arabic), Armenian, Finnish, then probably the Asian languages.
The other heavy case languages might beat out the Asian languages. Before we discussed this, the sisters were saying
how bad they feel for their friends that are learning Asian languages. Pretty much all the Elders have experience or
close friends with experience with Asian languages. This was a collective
decision of the district, so please address any qualms with President Bostrom
and my district.
In the devotional yesterday,
we heard some really great messages from Sister Michelle D. Craig and her
husband. Afterwards, Elder Lott and I discussed how we should never be
content with where we are in life. There
is constantly more to learn. You can always grow. If you are not progressing, you are
regressing. I do not have very long to
write more, so enjoy the pictures and please improve in your life.
Remember how much people care about you.
Remember that I care about you all a whole bunch. ნახვამდის! --უხუცესი ფიშერი
