MTC Week 7: ik hou van de nederlands!

A week and a halfish to go here and were all so excited! Things are starting to slow down since we have had most of the instruction we need and now just have to keep practicing! the people we teach say our language has improved so much but sometimes i feel like im in a standstill.  i cannot wait to be surrounded by the language so i can pick up more! Im really starting to love the language though even though it does sound funny.  an elder from our hall told me this week that he thinks dutch is just english with a really bad accent.  sometimes i agree.  i think they nederlanders took 5 different languages and mixed them all together.  and changed the order of the sentences to make everyone laugh.  theyre so clever :).

anyways, last night was the 50th anniversary of the MTC so the devotional was extra special.  Elder Holland and Elder Nelson came and spoke to us so we were floating on clouds by the end of the night.  such amazing men.  (for those of you who arnt mormon reading this, they are leaders of the church. look up their talks on lds.org, elder holland is a bold man!) In district devotional after the fireside all of our elders cried when they started talking about how much they loved us.  (hopefully they never see this blog post) but it was adorable and we are so lucky to have them!

Thats all I have time for today! only one more week to read about the MTC!

Tot Ziens!
