It is so weird to think it has already/only been three weeks! Haha. My sense of time is way off here. I got a haircut last week. I only have a few minutes left of email time so I will try to be quick.
On Thursday we had TRC, which is where Swedish speaking members come to the MTC and we get to teach them a family night type lesson. It was fun to get to teach people who already know the gospel is true. we taught this super nice man and his 11 year old daughter. It was very humbling to have his daughter help us to remember words when we got stuck while speaking.
I am now the "senior companion", which means I just talk to our district leader one more time a week than Alste Heiner. Also, Aldste Van Alfen, my friend from BYU, is no longer our third teaching companion, since we switched from two teaching threesomes to three twosomes in class. So there are some nice and some hard things about switching to just two of us teaching.
We got new Dutch missionaries this week. One of them is the younger sister of one of our teachers, so that is cool. We also got two new teachers, so now we have five. We still mainly have the first three though. I think the new two are more of part-time to fill in for the others for the most part. But they are all nice and cool.
My Swedish is steadily progressing. Lately I have been reading the Swedish-English dictionary, and writing down all the words I want to learn with their definitions. I think I am at H so far. There are some funny words.
I hope you all have a great week! Thank you to those who have sent me dearelders and letters!
