Letter 3/27

Salut,
Desolee, je ne peut pas ecrire letters very good. J'ai beaucoup de studying. Mon Collegue (companion... si nous dissons "companion" en francais, les gens penserai que nous sommes "married/gay" hehe) Mon Collegue et moi nous sommes les derigants de zone. We were called last Sunday but we arent going to be put in til the old ones leave next monday. Mon collegue vien de Twin Falls. J'aime mes instructeurs. Ils s'appellent Frere Emery et Soeur Betteridge. Ils sont tres cool. Mes etudies vont bien. Je parle le francais toujours. I know its really broken french but my instructors told me to say everything i can say in french. the gift of tongues is real! i am learning things so quick! The MTC has been great!There is a cool elder from france named elder olivier, i talk to him all the time. and there is this sister from french guinea who is awesome. THere is also this teacher here who served at my mission and he speaks three different creoles! The elders that leave on monday that are going to my mission are awesome, one of the elders named elder butler is from australia and he's way cool. bonne chance avec les maisons! Je t'aime!

My colleague and I are zone leaders. We were called last Sunday but we aren't going to be put in till the old ones leave next monday. My companion is from Twin Falls, ID. I love my instructors their names are Brother Emery and Sister Betteridge. They are way cool. My studies are going well. I speak french all the time. I know it is really broken french but my instructors told me to say everything I can say in french. The gift of tongues is real! I am learning things so quickly. The MTC has been great! There is a cool elder from france named Elder Olivier, I talk to him all of the time, and their is a sister from French Guinea who is awesome.

Letter from MTC

We received a letter! 3/18-His companion is Elder Lish from Twin Falls, Idaho. They are getting along great. He said the food is ok-but he needs more fiber....Elder L. Tom Perry spoke for the last devotional and he said it was awesome. He loves getting food and letters. He closed with "I know God is helping me and that I am in the yoke of Gods work."

We are anxiously waiting to hear from Elder Hill! It has been 2 1/2 days since he left! Max is taking over his clothes and Brock got his room and we seem to have more food in the house......things are definately different around here. If anyone wants to post news on here or letters of encouragement I can print it out and send it through the mail but I don't think Sonny will be able to check it. We will try to keep you updated on what is going on with him as we get news. Thanks loved ones!
