Hello Everyone, Elder Eli Lines here....
Another great week in the Provo MTC. Just a few more to go!
This week in our four person Danish District we decided to make a goal to be as kind as we could to each other because we had been joking around a lot and wanted to bring it back a bit. It was a group effort but I could definitely feel the sarcasm decrease. In all honesty this week was awesome and we started our first days of full immersion using Danish and I can already feel like I know so much more Danish. The gospel part of Danish is getting there but I know all of this will come with more time and practice on my part. I am excited to say that we have been enjoying language classes even when sometimes it might feel hard to stay energetic throughout all of class.
The food this week was not as good as last week but still not bad at all. I am excited to see what the future holds. If you know me, then you know food matters a lot to me. So, there is the weekly food update.
On another note, we have been having a lot of fun during our 1 hour of exercise because we get to play spike sometimes. I have realized it is a lot of fun and I've really enjoyed playing lots of it. I love the competitiveness that it holds and the (kind) trash talk and it just brings me so much joy to be having fun with everyone. We are pretty busy all day so its a great time to just relax and be ready for the rest of the day.
ældste Kim, one of my Companions, tried out for an organ solo and played prelude at one of the Sunday devotionals. He's really talented. We got to talk to the music directors and there is a good chance he will get a few spots during one of the many devotionals that take place at the MTC. He also made the choir for the Mission President devotional that will take place shortly which will have all the apostles and Prophet there. I'm really looking forward to that devotional.
Some spiritual things we learned this week were about the Book of Mormon and teaching with the spirit. I'll first start by sharing about the Book of Mormon because we learned so much about how to study it and just how to use it to teach too. The Book of Mormon states the truths so plain and simply that often we just read it ourselves and don't need the explaining which has been really interesting to learn about. Not only that but the Book of Mormon has answers to everything and if you believe in it you believe that everything else in the restored gospel is true because it is the keystone of our religion. I love the Book of Mormon and know that it is true. Second we learned that we need to be flexible in teaching and in everything because the spirit guides in a variety of different ways. This has been a very valuable lesson for me to learn since I like predictability. This will be an awesome skill for me to develop.
Such a fun week and time is already flying by. Vi ses. Farvel.
Love to all of you,
Elder Lines
