hi parents!
im sorry to hear that barrow was frozen haha but it seems typical. well how is it going do you ask? i can tell you. it is amazing, the spirit here is a constant feeling and everyone here is an amazing person, i have never been surrounded by this many amazing people in my life, i am so glad i am here. addressing the language statement that you had. they have changed the teaching style since hayden learned spanish, there is no longer any getting your feet wet section of learning, its more like you are standing at the edge of a dock and ray lewis hits you into the water. my teacher has not spoken a single english word to us haha, it is kinda overwhelming but i love it so much. i can pray, bear my testimony, and recite our missionary purpose in polish now and ive only been here one little week. my kolega (companion) is not exactly like me, he sings a lot and hasnt ever played sports, but we have a wonderful friendship already and we compliment each other well. we have already taught 4 lessons in full polish to an investigator, our investigators are members that know the language and are just role playing for us, but nevertheless they are speaking in only polish. the spirit knows all languages, and we actually brought him to tears in our last lesson about the restoration of the gospel. i have participated in the choir even though i cant sing worth crap, but my kolega can so its okay, he can drown out my horrible voice. we have had two devotionals, one was taught by janice kapp perry and the other was taught by Elder D. Todd Christofferson. sister perry was in the motab choir and has written songs in the childrens hymn book. she taught on the power of music, and now i know that music is laced with simple doctrine and testimony that helps us build a better foundation for faith. Elder Christofferson taught about satan and his power, he said that the most awful power that satan has is the ability to make us feel worthless and that we can not repent. so it strengthened my testimony of repentance that no matter how much we sin the path to return never gets broken it just gets longer. now to address some questions, the language is coming along well for a week into it, i love my kolega starszy (elder) jeffs, he is an amazing and spiritual man, yes i have seen levi and i have pictures with him at the temple, i would like those small notebooks that you bought for me, i think that is about it,they have plenty of food at the MTC so please dont send me food, i love you so very much and i am proud to call you my parents, and i am so thankful that you raised me righteously enough to go on this amazing mission, this week has been the BEST of my life and i know that every week will be just as good or better.
