The first week of the mtc has ended. It has been a long one that is for sure. I got unlucky and had my p-day on Thursday so i had to wait a whole week to write home!
the first day in the Missionary training Center was rough. i missed home a lot and was just trying to get used to it, it didnt help that i pretty much had the flu and my teacher was only talking to me in Hungarian so that was a struggle, but hey i made it to week two and i love it here!
the second day was straight hungarian and i just sat there understanding nothing. It was bad but i have got so much better. it has been so cool. the mtc is a truly amazing place that's for sure.
My district is mainly sisters and there are 6 of them. One is from serbia and yells at us in serbian sometimes. she is kinda crazy. I am in a companionship with two Elders, both from California.
We taught our first lesson in straight Hungarian and i said a total of like two words and the rest was awkward silence because we had no idea how to say anything. it was bad. but is getting better slowly. The food at the mtc is super gross but i eat it and am still alive. I just have become not picky at all.
everyone said make it past Sunday and you are home free and that really is true. i feel so much better and am doing great now . time flys by here, but also can be so slow. it's kinda like i am in the movie the maze runner at times. Its kinda weird.
I'd like to share acouple thoughts with you that i have learned.
We listened to a talk and it was about if the glass is half full or half empty in our lives. Then it talked about if we even have a glass at all. we need to be grateful for all the things in our life that we have and not complain beacuse some have nothing. We can apply this to the gospel too. Some people have not heard of the church of jesus christ and what i am doing is giving them a glass. and trying to help them put something in it. but it is their choice to fill it. i liked that alot.
I would like to end by a quote i heard. This applies to everyone. "church is not a showcase for saints, but a hospital for sinners." no matter where you think you are in your life you can go to the church of Jesus Christ and be healed. God's love is the healing power. He can change our lives and i know he has changed mine.
I love you all so much and miss you all like crazy. have a great weekend.
Love, Elder Ure
