Week seven is officially over which means I only have two
more weeks in the MTC! I'm leaving the MTC on October 30th, that should be a
Tuesday. My P-Day in the field will be definitely be different but I'm not sure
what day of the week it will be on. I'm doing well even though this week was
more tough than the previous weeks. The more we learn to speak Portuguese the
harder its getting with all the subjunctives and conditions that dictate the
way you have to speak. A member of the area 70 told everyone in our devotional
last night to not worry about the language, he says once you are in the field
everyone recieves the gift of tounges haha.
We got new Brazilians this week. One is from Brazil and the
other is from Mexico I think. The spanish speakers have to stay in the MTC for
6 weeks and the Brazilians stay for 3 weeks. Our new roomates are slowing
becoming more and more comfortable being in the same room with a bunch of
Americans. I can understand why it could be strange for them.
This next week we get to go prostelyting twice during the
week. Basically they take us out into the center of Sao Paulo, drop us off, and
come pick us up three hours later. It should be interesting to say the least
with our broken Portuguese haha. We are supposed to give out a certain number
of Book of Mormons. It will be a trial by fire, but everyone comes back saying
it was the best experience they had in the MTC.
I'm excited to hear all the sports news from Dad, and
Grandpa. I hear the Seahawks are doing really well and Manning is still the
clutch quaterback of the past. Also, it sounds like Romney is doing well which
I am glad to hear. It is definitly a topic we discuss between us missionaries,
and we are all rooting for him. I got my first handwritten letter from Dad this
week and it was awesome. I had been waiting for that letter for awhile now.
Also, I'm becoming anxious to see what Jessie wrote me and I look forward to writing
her back. Im so happy to hear Greg is getting some interviews with some
companies, I know he will do well wherever he ends up. Im jealous of
Oupa right now because he is in Sweden. One day I want to go to Sweden and
see where it all began on that side of our family. And mom I am so proud
of you for doing all these workouts lately, I dont think I could even do an
insanity workout especially right now haha. I get 50minutes for excercise but I
usually just go and play volleyball with our district and there is not a lot of
movement in that sport.
I got some news from some Elders from Porto Alegre this
week. Apparently our mission president is a very nice man and is rather laid
back. The Porto Alegre mission is one of the harder missions in Brazil, not as
many baptisms as other parts of Brazil :(. Like our member of the 70 said last
night if we believe we can get a baptism every week, we will.
Love Elder Miller
