Hey if you get this before 4 can you send me the adress of the Condo?
Here are all my questions- No bee report? Are they all dead?, Also who is rachel staying with? What team did Cubby make? And I still have not got a response on thoughts from asher lev. I really thought it might help, but could hurt. I am intrested.
Ok so my week was great, best yet. I am doing better as syl, but still not great. Class is almost all syl, and I am learning maybe 25 words a day and one grammer rule. I need to work on characters. I got all the ones we worked on this summer down, is there a way to send the slides from chinese class with the pnumonics? That would be a huge help. We spend about two hours a day learning how to better teach, and we spend about one hour a day on the computer. This is some of my most effective time, I generally learn twenty new words for my lesson, or investigator taht I can use. I know all the vocab for lesson one two, and first two parts of three. Be fore I came here I knew the frist part of the frist discussion.I also review about 50 words, and listen to 15 minutes of talking and answer questions on what I heard to see how much I got all in one hour. I am getting better. Then I spend the rest the one hour of self supervised language study on createing pnumonics for the words I learned that day. It is kind of crazy that we really only have two hours a day set apart for learning new words, but how much we still grow. We also have one hour a day where the teacher "coaches" study, and we can study language or do personal study or companion. Other then those two hours I syl, use a little notebooke where I keep all my pnumonics and vocab. I pick up some, we have one hour of grammer, and then we teach 2 investigators each day, but I just lost both my teachers due to BYU starting, so now we have no native teachers. Sad.
So my companion is having interviews with the stake president just like my old one did, I certainly hope he stays. Please pray for him, his name is elder verkler. I have no idea what the interviews are about, but We are haveing a great time together. We are used to eachother and have a similar sence of humor, so we laugh alot together. We run together, I was so slow at first, we originally did like an 8 minute mile, but then I cut 20 the next time, and twenty again the next time, so yesterday I ran a 7:20 minuse mile, I am excited for a sub 7 hopefully this week. we also do abs together. its just nice having a friend as a companion, and I think he wrote home about how he likes me as my next story will tell.
Stories of the week- So my companions girl friend sent him a package, but in the package was a preasent all wraped for me. The note said from what she heard I am a great guy and would like to meet me. It was a nice tie. My companion said she never gave him a tie. Awkward. But not really, she writes him almost every day, and has sent him much more then ties. But it was fun to joke about. I felt bad because I carried the package and her name is hannah spelled hanne, and I asked him "Who is hane?" Then she gaave me a tie. I really like it to.
