December 17, 2012

Things have been super fun! It snowed a lot last Monday and Elders Proud, Scirkovich, Merl and I made snowmen.
















 





Also Today I finished the first Christmas tie. 


 

        Dad asked if maybe I could tell a little more detail about what we do and stuff. So, Monday is our Pday, normally we wake up and go to the temple first thing in the morning. Today though we didn't, the temple is closed till the new year for cleaning, but after lunch today we got to go and clean for a couple hours. We pretty much just cleaned the mens lockers and the initiatory rooms, it was way cool. On Tuesdays we have a devotional at night were a general authority or other big church leader comes and talks, afterwards we have a testimony meeting with our district and a member of our branch presidency where we talk about the devotional. All the other days except Sunday, and tuesday mornings, we do pretty much the same stuff. For an hour a day we have personal study (normally in the morning) where we are only allowed to study out of the standard works, preach my gospel and the missionary library. A lot of peole tend to fall asleap during personal study. Depending on the day we also have either 1 or 2 class times which are each 3 hours long. 1 hour of class is for teaching our progressing investigators (who are just our teacher acting). 1 hour of class we learn how to teach and other gospel principles and stuff, and 1 hour we learn or review language or sometimes do other things the teacher has planned. In addition to class we also have an hour of dedicated language study on our own every day. We also have computer lab time where we can do language excercises and stuff and we usually have a bit of extra time where we can study or do whatever we want. Most of the day we spend in our classroom. We have to be up by 6:30 every day and we usually have our planning time in the classroom at 7:00. We have a service project on Wednesdays, cleaning buildings at 6:15. We have an hour of gym every day and after, we get 1/2 hour to go back and shower. Other than that we aren't allowed to be in our residence (except maybe to go get stuff we left) until 9:30 at night. We also have 35 minutes for breakfast and 50 for lunch and dinner, but other than that we are in our class the whole time.

   That's all the time I have for now.
