Hi everyone,
At the MTC, Labor Day means that the mail room and
the bookstore are both closed. So no mail has arrived yet (as of
Tuesday morning).
I'm pretty much over my cold now. I haven't
thought about it for nearly a week now, except that other missionaries
have gotten sick and are blaming me for them getting sick. I can't
really say much to them, because it's probably true.
I pass the time by being in class mostly. That and meals takes up a
lot of the day. The rest is taken up by gym and studying (so basically
more class).
No one here learned Vietnamese before they came
here. At least, not formal Vietnamese. Elder Neil learned a bit of
Vietnamese in a country dialect, but not very much, and it's basically
useless here as we have to speak formally.
Still waiting on the package. If it hadn't arrived yet yesterday, I probably won't get it until tonight.
Vietnamese
is going a little better. I'm learning some about grammar and I'm
learning new vocabulary, but I'm still having trouble remembering long
phrases. It's also a bit difficult to string words together in an
understandable manner without making some mistake.
Fridge fest actually sounds better than the food that we've been
getting here. At least fridge fest isn't repetitive, because you have
different meals every week (I assume).
So yeah, that's pretty much all of the news here.
How is everyone doing? Hanging in there? I sincerely hope that
Michael is, because sophomore year will only get worse as the year goes
by.
Just
kidding. It doesn't get that much worse except in Honors
Pre-Calculus. But seriously if he is having trouble now he is going to
have a lot of trouble later in the year.
So did you end up packing up my stuff or did you just leave it where
it is (besides the game systems). After all my stuff is mostly in
unobtrusive places. I don't really mind whether or not my stuff has
been packed up (again, except for the game systems.).
So this is A.J.'s last year of elementary school. Wow. I always
thought of him as the "baby" of the family, but I guess he's growing up
too.
Love,
Elder Nguyen
