Dobre Den Rodina a Kamaradi!
This was such a crazy week full of so many changes. It made the week go by so fast!
Thursday we had a lesson with Zdenek. We didn't teach the lesson we had planned, but we did were able to find scriptures and figure out what to say.
Friday we taught Ales about the Fall of Adam and Eve and had he had some tough questions. The rest of class we practiced teaching about tithing. We also had to take one of our Elder's to the Doctor because he hurt his back so we were about 45 minutes late for our 2nd block of classes. Also the Swedish Sisters invited our whole zone to play smrt (death) square (4-square) so that was super fun and we got to know everyone better during exercise time.
Saturday we had a service activity in the morning. Then in class we summarized the third lesson in English then translated it on the spot and I was really surprised at how much of it I was able to say, there were only a few words I didn't know how to say. It was probably cased wrong though :) We had another lesson with Zdenek and taught him about keeping the Sabbath day holy. He felt lonely this weekend and went out drinking with his friends, so we recommitted him to living the Word of Wisdom. Change is always hard but he is doing great, he just needs to keep doing the basics like reading the scriptures, praying and attending church.
Sunday so many changes came. Our companionship was made into a trio. We were called as Sister Training Leaders. I am so excited to get to know the Sisters better. We have lots of meetings and we have to conduct one on one interviews with each of the Sisters every week. It will definitely be a challenging calling as there are some troubles in a few companionships and there will be a lot of problem solving these next few weeks. I feel like I will grow so much because of this calling though. It will get me out of my shell and force me to talk to people to make sure everyone is doing ok. Also this calling has really opened my eyes to the love Heavenly Father has for these Sisters. I'm grateful for the opportunity to receive revelation to help in every way I can to make the MTC the best experience possible for everyone.
Monday was a very sad day. The Norwegians left and so our district dropped from 8 people to 4 people. In class we learned more grammar principles. That evening we interviewed Sisters. Interviews take a lot of time and it can be a little overwhelming sometimes with all the things that need figured out, it is also a blessing though at the same time because for some reason when I serve others my own problems seem to work themselves out. These interviews also make for some late nights sometimes depending on the needs of the Sisters.
Tuesday we taught Ales about why we are here on earth and the atonement. It was a really great lesson. We also taught Zdenek about enduring to the end. He is keeping all of our commitments. That evening we had a devotional by Elder Robert C. Gay from the 70. He promised that our families would be blessed for us serving which brought me a lot of comfort. It was a really good devotional. Afterwards, we discussed what we had learned at the devotional with the Dutch Elders because our district is so small now.
Wednesday we taught Ales and this lesson I didn't have the slightest idea of what was going on which was super hard. We followed up with him and he asked a lot of questions about the Kniha Mormonnova. It was a challenging lesson, but all is well. Honestly I feel like the language comes and goes. That evening we left class early for a meeting with the new missionaries. We had 24 new missionaries come in, so we have to interview all the new Sisters. We introduced ourselves, gave them a run down of the rules and them took them on a tour around campus. It was fun.
Love you all,
Sestra Guymon
