Hey everyone! The MTC has been good! The food is actually pretty good here tho. I eat two plates of food like every meal and im pretty sure im gaining a ton of weight hahah. The MTC life is pretty lame tho so theres not much to write about. Its pretty much just study, go to class, and then eating food here.
The language is super hard but I've learned a lot in just one week! Since romanian is a latin based language i thought it'd be a lot like spanish but it is seriously nothing like spanish. so you take a sentence in english and mix up all the words and then combine some of the words and break some of the words up to make a romanian sentence. so its super confusing! and the pronunciation is really hard too. Me and my comp have to teach 2 20 minute lessons next tuesday to some romanian speaking member. its gonna be rough cuz we barely know how to bear our testimonies in romanian. But guess we'll see how it goes.
So we are asked to prepare a talk for every sunday and need to be prepared to give it if you get called on. But they only call on two missionaries out of like 60-70 in our branch. But the worst part is you have to give the talk in the language that youre learning so the night before i just wrote down the first 3 sentences from the romanian preach my gospel and called it good. I didnt think the branch president would call on me cuz i had only been there for like 3 days but he did!!! so i had to get up in front of like 60-70 missionaries and give my 3 sentence talk in romanian. it was pretty rough cuz i couldnt even pronoucne the words but nobody could understand it anyways because there were only 2 other romanian speakers there so that was good!!
My talk was on repentence and i didnt learn much about repentence from my talk but i learned a lot about repentence throughout the week. I learned that repentence is a daily thing that should help us strive to become better every day. If we are constantly changing for the good then we are repenting. and also, repentence has to be hard and we have to feel sorrow or it is not true repentence. but through that sorrow we can find joy.
Love you all!!
