I received my first email from Hermana Alldredge today! I was so happy to hear from her. I think 3 days is probably the longest I have gone without at least texting her. So I was pretty happy and surprised to hear from her! Here are a few excerpts from the email that she wrote:
"thanks so much for putting a blog up for me, i really do appreciate it!!! MTC life is great! it has it's ups and downs of course but it's an overall good experience! My companion sister Ronolfson is way nice and super smart when it comes to spanish so it's nice to have her around to help me!
I feel like I haven't seen you guys in months because the days here feel sooooo long! I was talking to the other elders and sisters and they totally agree. It's crazy how much stuff we fit into one day here! My spanish is coming along quite nicely, if I do say so myself btw :) i'm still not super good at it, but some of the stuff that i've learned in the past is coming back and I can understand what i'm doing ha ha.
In our class yesterday morning, my companion and i actually taught a 20 minute lesson in spanish to an investigator named Luz, who only spoke spanish. I was super nervous that I was going to mess something up when teaching her, but it was crazy how easily we were able to do it! It turned out to be a great lesson about the Holy Ghost. Oh, and on the first day I was here... or at least i think it was the first day... we had a cool workshop where my zone went and taught real investigators (in English) about the gospel and answered questions they had about it.
I sprained my left ring finger playing volleyball. lol! I didn't think i hurt it that bad... but after we were done playing, i realized that it was super-duper swollen! i haven't had time to fix it or have someone look at it yet, so for right now i'm just dealing with it ... ya.. One Elder i was talking to from Georgia told me that after a few days it should be fine lol it only hurts a little, but it's pretty swollen :P
i'm loving it here, even though it's been kinda hard and really different... but it's something i just have to get use to. Love you all!"
So there you have it! Her 'Preparation Day' (Pday) is on Saturday right now, so that is when we will be getting updates. So, check back on the weekends or the beginning of each week to see if we have a new post up from her! You can also subscribe to 'follow' this blog if you scroll down and look at the left hand column. There is a place to enter your email, and as we post new updates, you will be emailed!
Thanks for your support, we would love to hear any comments and pass them along to Hermana Alldredge!
