Week 4

Dear Family and Friends,

 

Wow, I can't believe I've already started my fourth week at the MTC!  Whenever I think of how much time I have left I realize how much I still don't know and have to learn before getting there. The language is clicking, but it's a struggle everyday and sometimes I feel like I forget more than I learn. I just have to study harder. Sorry I ran out of time last week to send out a group letter.  I responded to all the emails from my family and didn't have time to write a group email. =/

Good news!

However, before I write you , you must promise that the result of this good news will not go into affect until I leave the MTC.  Promise?

Okay. =]

Well, Friends can now email as well as family! :)  Letters, handwritten or from dearelder.com are great though because you don't have to wait until p-day to see them. Please do not (if you are not family) email me until I reach Lima, Peru.  I will feel awful not being able to respond to all of you in 30 minutes, but, les quiero mucho!

 

My visa still hasn't arrived, and neither has my companion's.  It really is a common problem.  Apparently Argentina isn't even acccepting visa applications right now.  Many people going to South America are having trouble.  If my visa doesn't come before I finish my stay at the Provo, MTC, I will need to be reassigned until it does come. I'm thinking it would be really cool to go somewhere in the South since I've never been in that part of the states before.. or perhaps new york city. :)

 

The clock is ticking at me... 1:00 exactly left. =/ Every letter I 've gotten has made my day. Thank you! :) "talking" to people who really know me help me remember who I am and where I'm going. <3
