Hey everyone :D
This was my first week of home/online MTC! I almost forgot to write this but I just remembered so this might be short. This week we mostly practiced spanish and just like an intro to the MTC. I have 10 other elders in my group, 9 of us are going to the Medellin Mission and 2 are going to Bogota South. My companion is Elder Leatham. I'm kind of sad that we couldn't all be together in the actual MTC compound because we might not be able to see the Bogota South elders once we get to Colombia. Other than that online MTC is going well. We have a four hour class in the morning and another four hour class in the afternoon. In the morning our teacher is Hermana Suáres, and in the afternoon our teacher is Hermano Betancourt. They are both from Colombia but they speak english pretty well. The classes are already starting to switch over to more spanish than english but I've had to study a lot to keep up. I've been trying to read El Libro de Mormón en español but I still don't know a ton of spanish so I'm doing some of my personal study in english as well. Hopefully by the end of the MTC I'll be able to do most or all of my personal study in spanish. I didn't realize how many words we learned already until I started making flash cards of all the words in the basic core book that we have. I've only done two sections out of the seven before I started to run out of notecards. I haven't finished yet but the stack is getting pretty tall. I'm still not quite at the point I would like to be after a week but I'm doing ok over all. We start practicing teaching people tomorrow so that will be cool but a challenge. It's getting late and I still have a lot of stuff I need to do today so I'm gonna end here but I want to bear my testimony that I know that this is the Lord's true church restored on the earth again. Jesus Christ IS our savior and he suffered for our sins so that we could come live with our Heavenly Father again some day. I know that the Lord knows and loves each and every one of us and has a plan for us. I love the gospel and can't wait to share it with the people of Colombia or wherever else I might serve. I love the joy and peace the gospel can bring to everyone. I know I probably missed a bunch of people that I asked to get these weekly email things so if you know anyone that didn't get this that wants to tell me! I'll try to send these every week but I almost forgot this week and it's only the first week, so no promises :) If you have any other questions or comments about my week, or just want to talk, email me! I'm pretty sure I'm only supposed to do personal emails and stuff on p-day (Wednesdays for now) so it might take me a while to respond but it will help me remember to write next week so please do. This was longer than I thought it would be lol.
That's all I can think of right now and I'm horrible at ending emails so I'll just stop writing now
