This week was a really good week! On Thursday we Skyped with a Tongan lady and taught her a lesson. She was so cute! I've noticed when we talk to older Tongan people they talk a lot slower and we are able to understand what they're saying. Most Tongans speak so fast and so it makes it difficult to understand them. I can pick out a few words from their sentences but by the time I understand what they're saying they are already finished with that topic and moving on to something else! haha. Its kind of frustrating... but thats why this week has been so good because I've finally been able to understand people when they talk. Im still nervous for when I get to Tonga but I know the language will come. :)
Our teachers took us outside yesterday and they wanted us to practice street contacting. It was a lot harder than I thought it would be. They were our investigators but it was way different than preparing a lesson. They were asking us questions we had never heard before and Sister Egan and I would just stare at them because we had no idea what to say or what they were saying! They love to joke with us and watch us struggle. Im just glad we were able to practice it here so I know what to expect when I get to Tonga. They also had us bear our testimony to one of the missionaries walking around. I asked this sweet girl if I could bear my testimony to her and she let me but I'm pretty sure she just thought I was swearing at her.! :) She seemed so confused haha.
I cant believe next week is my last full week here at the MTC. I love it here but Im so ready to go! Sorry I dont have a lot to say this week. Im praying for you guys always! Im so glad shaylor's surgery went well. Im praying for a fast recovery. Have a great week. I love you all!
