I can Speak Ilonggo and teach lessons in Ilonggo,
but I'm definitely not fluent!
General conference in the MTC is way
different it goes by so much faster and before you know it its over! We have
had general Authorities come and speak to us on our Sunday and Tuesday night
devotionals. Which is sooo cool!!!
Classes can be rough and long but we
get breaks in them so it gives you a chance to stretch your legs get some water
and stuff. I love my teachers they are the best, Brother Waggoner, Sister
Sablan, and Brother Winfield are so awesome and do a really good job with
teaching the language and dumbing it down for us. Even from day one it has been
100% Ilonggo completely immersed.
The food is starting to get to me,
really white food and it's just getting old!
I will be mailing my SD card home
sometime within the next couple of days unless I can find a way to email them
home which isn't looking likely!
I have met a couple of cool Sister
missionaries from the other districts and have become real close good friends
with them; Sister Wilde and Sister Peterson totally cool!!!
I had the opportunity of hosting the
new missionaries to the MTC the past Wednesday which was fun, and I get to do
it again next week! I didn't get any crying missionaries.... maybe next week?
I did get my package thank you! The
Americans loved the Wonder bars and Mr. Bigs and the all dressed chips, I still
have a lot left! And the gospel art book will definitely help me with my
lessons. I actually can roughly teach full 20 minute lessons on the restoration
and am working on the plan of salvation. It's so cool. I've learned more in 3
weeks at the MTC than 5 years of French!
I miss you all so much and I love you
all so much
Love
Elder Rivera
