First Letter - MTC 6/15/2011

(this letter came via regular mail, so I am typing it for the purpose of the blog!)

June 15th - I entered the MTC crazy right.  So the host guy escorted me to get my name tag and things and then to my room.  I was the first one there so then on to class, where the teachers don't speak english in order to make us think  on our feet.  I think its to make the whole situation even more awkward, but ya.  So other people show up to class and we move on to the computer where we did gym orientation so no one gets hurt.  It seemed like everyone was sitting in two's so I was starting to get worried with the empty seat next to me only later to learn my companion from Australia was supposed to be here yesterday and still nothing.  So as if the whole thing isn't  weird enough, no companion.  So I am in a 3 way companionship for now, maybe tomorrow will bring me a companion.

June 16th - Got up no companion.  Got ready, went to personal study the to breakfast, then to immunizations check then more personal study then lunch when my name was called over the loudspeaker
Elder Zachary Coontz please come to the front desk.  I was like UH OH. But I got my companion Elder Mits from Australia we have been getting along great.  I feel like the language is coming really fast...

Kamusta Ka!
Ako si Elder Coontz
Toga Memphis TN Ko
Naay pito ka tawo sa akong Pamilva

The bathroom is called the CR or comfort room kinda odd but ya.  So I learned a ton more but it's not all put into sentences so I say the language is nindot (awesome) and at times it has me very libog (confused) and its difficult to sabot (understand) But it's awesome I mean nindot
