Well I'm halfway through, there was a debate in our district on whether today was the halfway point or if yesterday was. I didn't really care either way because one day is nothing here. Time doesn't flow the way it does on the outside. We'll struggle to remember what happened in the morning of a day because it seemed so far off, but be able to recall details from weeks ago as if it had just happened. It's interesting. Også, I was put in charge of the sacrament each Sunday so now I pretty much have total power.
I have been seeing Conner and Trevin a lot more. Apparently my emails have been going to the wrong Conner Johnson though so thats a little awkard... it was interesting when me and Conner started yelling at each other in a Danish Russian stand off after I slipped a napkin underneath his suspenders. I have no idea what he was yelling at me but I told him in a very angry voice that I loved him, I thought his tie was very fine looking, and that he was a beautiful man.
All of the Dutch missionaries left this week making us Danish and the two Icelandic missionaries the next group to leave which is super weird to me. We will probably get our flight plans in a week or two and if our visas come through I will be in Denmark before I know it! Once again we packed in 57 elders into a room that struggles to fit 3 beds and sang our hearts out to say goodebye to our Nederlansk and Sur Nam/
We had a Swedish sub because our teacher had some car problems the other day and so I got a chance to teach him with Ældste Warner who isnt my companion. I was amazed at how easy it was teaching with him even though we had zero time to prepare. Warner is one of the Ældster (plural form of Ældste) I am better friends with and he really has a hold of the language and so this lesson felt so much more like a conversation rather than a rehearsed talk. My lessons with my companion have been interesting and by the end of it we actually had a pretty good lesson and it actually worked my Danish a lot more than a normal lesson would have. I guess there was a good reason we got put together here at the MTC!
Dallin gets here next week and he is gonna be in the same zone as me and Mason! Pretty much Scandinavia is the best. Like I said before our zone is the biggest in the MTC and somehow I got the chance to bless the sacrament twice in a row and we are now in charge of preparing it and making sure it gets blessed each week. I have no blessed the sacrament more in the MTC then I ever did at my home ward and I really enjoy it. Mason made me promise to let him do it next week, so we pretty much have a monopoly going on.
Anyway, I want to hear from all of you! Mail is really the best thing that breaks up the routine here! DearElder, or regular letters are fantastisk! Three lines on your life are three more lines than I would know without it. Also, if anyone is sending a package it would be made a zillion times better if they included the days newspaper in it. Ældste Madsen got a newspaper in his package today and it was some of the best entertainment we had on a P Day because we love hearing about the outside! I actually got to get out of the MTC twice because my companion needed to go to the pharmacy down the street to get some medicine. I was hoping I would see someone that I knew... but all I got were a bunch of random people in cars that I dont know waving to the missionaries. It was kind of interesting to be on the other side of that.
Well, Ive gotta go.
I er glimmerende! Ældste Durrant
Vi Ses!
