Everyone was right- the days are like weeks, but the weeks are like days...
But I mean, it's cool, but also scary that there's already two weeks of nine down and then I'll need to be in Poland teaching real people. REAL PEOPLE, MOM. It'll be awesome though.
Max is right, when it's the three of us, its easy to just stay more alone, or not bond with the two others, and it's not a relationship you build with one person. And also, I didn't think it would happen to me, but one of my companions is a more difficult companion. I mean, he just doesn't respect many things, and he talks innapropriately and swears sometimes, and since there's the three of us, I can just stay more with the other one, and it's much easier to ignore him I guess. Which sounds AWFUL, but it's what has happened. I've been praying for help so I can love him, and I have seen it get better as the days go on, but it's still really tough. A lot more tough than I would have though it would be.
I did get my suit, and I don't really think I need anything right now, but packages and dear elder notes are really nice. REALLY NICE. Everyone said so. I never believed them. But now I understand.
And this last week I was BARDZO BARDZO chory. Bardzo.
I was very sick. As was our whole district. We were just slammed hard with it and a few of us had to stay in from class one day. I didn't, but I would have if it got any worse, and one of my companions was really sick this morning so I had to stay in and wait while everyone got to go to the temple. But I got to go last week, so at least there's that. AND I got to make this awesome fort with the furniture in the living room area of the dorm until one of the MTC workers told me to take it down. He was just jealous.
Probably when I felt the spirit most was one night when I couldn't sleep, someone in my my room was writing in his journal, so the window was open, and I just started looking out of it. There wasn't anything interesting to look at, like, there was a tree blocking the way. But for some reason, as I was looking out, I felt the spirit in a way that I never had before. Instead of a peircing blow to the chest like it usually feels like, I felt it more like a warm blanket covering me and I really felt God's love for me in a way I never had before. And that is what I want to bring to the people of Poland. That is what I want them to feel, becuase it was honestly the best I have ever felt.
Yeah, I bet Sammy will enjoy actual attention. And you went to a dog show!? Thats so awesome! I've wanted to see one of those forever! Monty would have just layed down in the middle of it.
And on Sundays, there's one big building with a ton of chapels in it where all the zones will go to their seperate Sacrament meetings, and it works out. There's like fifty of us in our zone. Pictures of our family would be awesome! Everyone has them and our family is just an enigma. An abstract idea that not even I am sure if still actually exists. Like, am I really writing an email to my mom right now, or just a huge data base that acts as all missionary's moms? Nobody knows...
Anyway, I would be writing a lot more Polish words in these emails, but there's accents on everything, so I don't know what to do. Cry, I guess. But rest assured- I am actually learning things. And I'm also learning a lot of how English works because of it! Man, languages are tough. Freaking tower of Babel. But yeah, I guess it's necessary.
Love you lotsssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
