MTC Week #2

Week 2 was great. Teaching is becoming a little less terrifying. The language is kind of destroying my brain and my companion and myself are getting along great. The food here is... let's just not talk about it. Chocolate milk is still awesome!

We were able to go to the Temple Tuesday morning. The Spirit was overwhelming and I felt like I was somehow being watched by the person I was doing the work for.

So, turns out my teacher, ----- GeorgiYeva, is the best Russian teacher at the MTC. I still feel like I know absolutely no Russian at all, but we're already catching up to the people that have been here for six weeks. At least once a week we have teaching appointments. Obviously not real investigators... but the Spirit is always so strong in those lessons and we forget they're already members.



Tell Chris to write me!!!

MTC - Week #1

So my first week has been amazing. Very busy, very hectic, very spiritual, and very short. My companion, Elder Shaun Morrison, is way awesome. He's helping me out a lot with teaching. Teaching is definitely not my strong point. The food here is great and disgusting! The chocolate milk and wraps are the best. It doesn't feel like I sleep here. We work, study, work, study, eat, study, pray, study, eat, sleep, and then start all over again. The laundry room is insane!!! I'm pretty sure I won't be doing laundry for the next three months. And James was WRONG! Four Square is LAME! Beach Volleyball owns! Make sure Chris writes to me and someone please send me James' address so I can write to him. Hope all is well at home! Love you all. Love, Elder Polivka

PS - Thank you everyone for the support, money, cards, and love!
