Oh wonderful family!!! I love you all so much! Some days are hard
here, but it's more like hard moments sprinkled over really good days. We
watched an AMAZING devotional by Elder Bednar about turning out and being
Christlike, instead of turning in and having selfish emotions. It was so
perfect for me. He gave such good instruction on ways to study and learn, and
feel like the luckiest person in the world. I have a strong testimony that he
is a man called of God. Oh, and Hermano Nuñez isn't my teacher anymore, because
he's a night teacher, and he was just covering for our afternoon class for a
while. I still get to see him all of the time, though and he is hysterical. :)
He told me where he keeps his good frisbee in the teacher office, just in case
we need it. :D Sometimes, me and the other hermanas get to play outside with
Reid, Elder Cornish's son. He has down syndrome, but he blows my mind with how
smart and well spoken he is. And such a charmer! He told Hermana Parker that
she reminds him of Anne Hathaway. ;) I think she's prettier, personally. lol.
OH here is some surprising news for you. I
am officially/unofficially in charge of music at the MTC! President asked me
last night if I would do it, and I said of course. I don't know if he is going
to actually extend a call of some sort, seeing as we are still in between APs,
but I get to pick all the hymns and help other people learn how to conduct and
have all kinds of fun. We sing in both Spanish and French simultaneously now
that it's Haitians and North Americans running around here. There were only 16
of us here for 2 days while we waited for the next group, and it was so
peaceful! Here's some interesting info: only Haitians are called to Haiti!
Traditionally, Haitians and Dominicans do not get along, but so far, so good
here at the MTC. My language skillz are coming along, but verbs can be hard! :P
I'm trying to think of some new and exciting things I have learned to share
with you. Hmmm... Oh! Hermano Fernandez tried to convince us of some bogus
holidays earlier this week, such as Dia Del Pollo. He said they also have Dia
de los Muertos, but it's the day right after Dia del Pollo, because they kill
all the chickens. -___- Hahaha. He's always like "En serio, en
serio!!" lol. He can't pull the wool over our eyes. I think his favorite
word is "chistes" which means "jokes". It's pretty much the
equivalent of "just kidding". haha. We take breaks now and again
during class, and he always tells us to take "diez minutos de break".
Naturally, when Hermana Gawrych is saying something crazy I no longer say
"give me a break". I say "give me diez minutos de break".
hahaha. His wife is having a baby sometime over the next week! I'm
not-so-secretly hoping Hermano Nuñez will sub for him. :D That reminds me, we
have three red language books that we use, and Hno Nuñez calls them Charmander,
Charmeleon and Charizard, due to their respective size. Every day is a school
day at el CCM. :))
My
time is about up, but I hope this message finds you safe and happy! Love you
all!!!! XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXO
Hermana Harden
