Hey-Oh all!
So
the weeks just keep getting faster and faster, I'm sure. I feel like 2 days ago
it was P-day, but no, that was a whole week ago. man, time flies when you're
having fun.
So,
last Thursday we had TRC Skype with another German. the girl had perfect
English, I kid you not. I'm sure she was laughing at how ridiculous our German
sounded. It was so bad! but it was fun. she helped us with pronunciation and
stuff, and we taught her a lesson, but for some reason Skype was having
problems and our microphones were super sensitive so she couldn't hear us very
well. it was super frustrating.
Friday
was no fun, just the usual schedule: study in the morning, class in the
afternoon and evening with nothing to spice it up. but we have in-field
orientation this coming Friday, and it's basically an all day thing, so
that will be fun.
Saturday
was a lot like Friday, except we had late service, which was super fun. We did stairs
again, and sang songs and it was just a blast.
Sunday,
NFL Football player Chad Lewis came for Devotional. He did a fantastic job of
helping us realize we're individual and shouldn't let our light be tempered
because of what other people think, and that we need to just be nice to people.
it was amazing, and I learned so much. I put that in my notes in all caps. it
was a really cool devotional. he had tons of stories, and they illustrated his
point so incredibly well.
Monday,
we said goodbye to Brother Liddle because we have more Germans coming in today
and he has to teach them, so we're losing our teacher. Everyone of us
choked up, and it was super emotional at the end of class. Both Brother Janis
and Brother Liddle told us stories about their missions, and the spirit was
super strong, and it was an absolutely amazing experience. I mean, I can't even
describe how strong the spirit was in the room at that time.
we
decided we needed to write both our teachers notes to show how much we
appreciate them. so we did. we hid them behind our flag and gave Brother Janis
a riddle to find them yesterday. the riddle was "it's where our heart
is." He got it pretty quick. It was funny. Then we hid Brother Liddles in
the air vent and Elder Crittenden said "It's in a 'cool' place." it
was super funny.
We
got Flight plans on Friday and the entire zone (50 of us, mind) we were all
bouncing off the walls with excitement. it was really fun to watch, and super
cool to see us all so ready to go.
Our
zone has this game we play. It's really fun. So the game is if you make eye
contact with someone then you can pretend to blow a dart at them, and they
become paralyzed and have to sit on the ground until someone touches their neck
or shoulder.
So,
I got to Gym on Friday, and on of the Elders (on the other side of the gym)
calls to me, and "hits" me with a dart. so, as I'm sitting down on
the floor, this random elder comes up to me and asks "are you Sister
Montgomery?"
"yeah."
"Do
you have a sister, Cheyenne Montgomery?"
"yeah.
do you know her?" I was starting to get excited at this point, thinking it
might be Conner, because I remembered that Cheyenne said he might be here about
the same time as me.
Bet
Cheyenne can guess who it was.
Yep,
it was Conner. it was really cool to talk to him. We didn't talk to long, but
it was fun anyway.
Also,
I forgot to tell you that Elder Godoy of the 70 (i believe he spoke in Conference,
in Portuguese) came for devotional yesterday. Funniest little Brazilian man
ever!! He gave us a list of things that will help us be great missionaries, and
told lots of stories to illustrate his point, and it was really spiritual and
super funny at the same time. it was absolutely fantastic! I did not know that
was even possible, but he accomplished it with flair, even with his accent. it
was absolutely amazing!
So
yeah, love you all.
I'm
getting off the computer is 10, if you still want to email me, but if you're
not done by then, just send Dear Elders. I wish I could talk to you more, and
miss you all greatly.
So,
the Work continues, life is good. Eat your veggies and smile, because those
will make you happy.
Love
you all!
Sister
Montgomery.
