Wow being a missionary is seriously crazy!! and the MTC is crazy! I love it but it definitely takes alot of getting used to. The days seem so long but theyve been getting shorter every day. and looking back it doesnt seem long at all. 5 days has felt like the blink of an eye. Im a district leader and my companions are zone leaders (im in a trio companionship) and one job we have is to help the new incoming missionaries get oriented, but it seemed just like yesterday that i was that same missionary trying to get oriented!
This week has
been really busy though. wednesday they showed us around a little and we
went straight to learning and the very next day we had to teach
already! Learning about all the gospel and the lessons are super easy.
its just trying to make them easy to understand for people who dont know
it whatsoever. My companions are elder Coombs and Elder Gutierrez,
elder coombs is from Salina and elder gutierrez is originally form the
phillippines but has been living in calgary for quite some time. So many
people in my district and zone are canadian. The other people in my
zone are going to Halifax, Nova Scotia (also in Canada) so were all
asking them about canadian stuff. One of them has a super thick canadian
accent and its funny sometimes. But i have heard all of them say "eh"
about 50 times.
Im really
looking forward to being able to serve in the field but i know that im
not quite ready. I know ill never be ready enough but im just excited to
be able to get out there and serve
love you all
Elder Merrell
