Man can't believe week 2 is over. Classes are super slow but the days actually fly. 2 years seem like its forever away but I know it'll come quicker than I think so i'm just trying to enjoy every second! The days here are becoming very routine and repetitive. wake up class, eat, class, eat, class, sports, class, eat and then more class and maybe teach a lesson to end the night. We didn't have as many big long devotionals which was so nice. I like being in class much more. French is still super hard but we are getting better every day. We are working on increasing out vocab, and memorizing things like the first vision, Moroni 10:5, and the baptismal invitation. Thinking i'll be Cote d'Ivorie where people only speak french is daunting but gimme a couple months and i'll have the language down! To be real though I think learning French will be easier than trying to understand the African English. Half the time anybody talks to me I have no clue what language they are speaking. The food has gotten a little better... actually I think i'm just getting used to chicken and rice but at least i'm adjusting. I think one of the things I took for granted most at home was boneless chicken, I really miss that. Every once and a while they throw out some pizza which is a real treat but then their are other days where they serve yam pudding which I think is actually just dog food. As hard as the MTC is I really do enjoy it here. My teachers are straight beasts. All of them got back from my mission like a year ago so its super fun to talk to them about that but also they just have the best stories and teach the best lessons. I got my first haircut here and I was very surprised because it didn't turn out as bad as I thought it would haha, The lines are very sharp like they were cutting a Africans hair though. Fun fact I learned this week. All of the African Elders are pretty old. Their is only 1 18 year old and then I have only met Elders between the ages of 21-25. Kinda funny but I guess their older age just makes them extra wise! The spirit here at the MTC is STRONG! It actually surprises me how much I feel it. Having Ben here is still the greatest blessing. Everyone is so jealous we have each other. Anyways all is well here. I think about you guys all the time but haven't been homesick, and haven't been sick and any other way which is also a blessing. Taking it a day at a time.
Love you all,
Elder Freedman
