It feels like I have been here forever... but at the same time it feels like I have just barely arrived! so weird. Yesterday we just got the announcement that we don't have to wear our SUIT JACKETS anymore!!!! ahhhh best news in the world. It has been so very very hot with the jackets. Easter here at the MTC was great! we heard from President Boyd K Packer and had sacrament with every single missionary here. Most definitely the largest sacrament meeting I have ever been a part of. President Packer reminds me of Grandpa Seeley :) He talked about his childhood and growing up, and it was like Grandpa was there talking. After sacrament, we had some really good personal study and then had our Deutsch Abenmahl Versammlung (sacrament meeting), but we had already had sacrament, so we all had the opportunity to share testimonies mit einander.
It is getting so hard for me to say everything in 100% english, because I really want to do it all "auf Deutsch"... which I feel like I could actually do. haha! The language is great. I still have a bunch of grammar rules to learn, but I have the main foundation of knowledge that I need for speaking. I can't wait to go!!
Our trips to the temple are always so grand. I need to send pictures home! I will soon. We took photos with German flags yesterday on our 'temple walk' and I'll have to get them developed. We get to go every P-day (vorbereiten Tag) which means TODAY! woot woot! so excited.
Love,
Elder Braden Thorkelson
