Email Letter - 24 October 2013

Hey everyone,

Hello everyone! I’m still doing great here in the MTC, or as its called here the CCM.

We didn’t really do anything out of the ordinary here this week. Basically just learning Spanish and practicing teaching lessons in Spanish. Sometimes it's pretty hard cause I know exactly what to say but I can’t think of how to say it in Spanish. The most frustrating thing though is when I cant think of what I want to say to someone in Spanish so I try saying it in English and I cant think of how to say it in English ether. Ha-ha.

Anyway me and the other Elders and Sisters that arrived at the same time as me went to the store on Tuesday, it was as the natives would put it "just like Wal-Mart." but what I’m really excited for is going to the university tomorrow to do some contacting. It’ll be a good test of what Spanish we've learned here and it’ll give us a better idea of the kind of Spanish we're going to be hearing once we get out of the CCM.

Well that’s all I have for this week, I hope you’re all doing well.

Hey everyone!

I’m doing great here in the DR. the language is pretty hard but I’m learning more and more everyday. My companion is Elder Santacruz and he is fantastic. He’s from Arizona. My district in the MTC is amazing they’re all so spiritual and have a great understanding of the gospel. The Friday after I got here President Freestone, the MTC President, made me the district leader. Not really sure what he was thinking but oh well I’m just going to do my best to be a good example. My district consists of 4 elders, including me, and 4 sisters. Mine is the only district with sister missionaries, which I think is actually helping a lot.

I don’t really have a ton to say but I hope you’re all doing fantastically. I love and am praying for you all. May God be with you all.

Elder King

Elder King is at the MTC. He is doing well, and will write on Thursdays. Despite being nervous, he is anxious to begin this work!
