I have been in the MTC for a grand total of 6 days, and i'm exhausted.
It has been a great experience though, after 2 days I was transfered from the beginning class to the intermediate (They wanted me to go to the advanced native speaking class, but I refused, because of the grammar and the vocab that i lack, that i wouldn't get in their class.)
I hope that everyone is doing well back home, We are only allowed to write letters on P day, which is the same day as we are allowed to email home.
The spanish is coming along fine, and we are now starting the first lesson. Its not that its anything new, but learning to teach effectively is actually proving to be more difficult than it would seem.
We had a devotional speaker on Sunday who told us that even the great missionaries (Sons of Mosiah and Alma the Younger) had a difficult mission and they "were discouraged" and thought of "going back" but they endured their afflictions and their trials in order to serve God, and because of that, thousands were brought into the true Church.
Its difficult, the schedule and the expectations of us, but i know that if we all endure and just do our best, there will be nothing that can keep us from our heavenly father in the next life.
So that all of you know my mail box is number 95, so you can send letters directly to that, and they'll get to me faster, also you can send me Dear Elders, which will get to me the same day as you write them.
My first Companion was Elder Clonts, he was made the senior companion and the district leader, and the guys in my room were great, now i'm in a different zone from them, and i have new roommates, but they are equally cool people, and i will progress into an effective missionary with their help.
Initially there were 10 Elders in my district, but when i moved, i moved into a district with 3 Hermanas, and 4 Elders (Including me).
I am planning on getting a song ready for an upcoming sunday, but there is nothing set in stone yet. I should probably be leaving the MTC on March 22. or the 15th, it changed when i switched zones.
Hope that everything is going well.
Elder Eyre
