New Years!!

Happy New Year Everyone!!! I have so many New Years resolutions that I can't count them but they're all based on missionary work obviously. It's still pretty cold up here. Everytime the snow goes away for a couple days and I think it's gonna be nice for once, it snows, then it snows some more. Thats ok, I only have a little over a week left here. Then I'll be gone (Thank goodness)!! Things have been going well here. I don't really have any stories cause all the people I teach are just members and it's for practice so you'll have to wait for those miraculous stories until I leave the MTC. A couple weeks ago Elder L. Tom Perry came and spoke to us again. This time it was for a bunch of Mission Presidents that were being trained. We were all kind of surprised cause he just came during Christmas but it was still good. The French is coming along as usual and my knowledge is gettig greater and greater each day. My Flight Plans are supposed to come in today so thats gonna be great. Just hopefully my visa has come in. Anyways, Gotta go. Love you all

Less than 3 weeks til I leave the MTC!!!!

Well, as you know from the title, I leave in a little less than 3 weeks from the MTC. I'm soo pumped for it. The french is getting better and better. I'm getting to the point where I can talk all day and my head won't hurt after when I go to bed. Also, in another french zone, they got 2 new elders who are native speakers so that'll be great practice for me. One's from Tahiti, and the other is from France. Both speak french way different but thats good so I can understand all the dialects of french. This last Tuesday, we had Elder L. Tom Perry come speak to us. He talked about the Translation of the Book of Mormon and it was a miracle that it actually happened. It was amazing!!! In my zone we got 24 new missionaries, now it is a mad house in our living quarters. Ohh, Eric and Dawnette, I met this elder whose name was Elder Sabbah. His full name is Norr Sabbah I think. He was here learning Italian cause he's going to Milan Italy for his mission. I think he was in your old ward before you moved. I remember being in the same class as him when we would come. I have about 2 min left on my computer time so yeah. I'm progressing soo much, It's amazing what the Spirit allows you to do in speaking a language. I think I've learned more here than I have in the last 4 years in high school french. I leave for France on Feb 4th, so you can still email me using this email. Anyways, I gotta run. I just got back from doing sealing at the Temple, It was a great experience!!! I love you all and thank you for the letters and everything else.

French!!!

So, how's everything going?? Not much has happened here for the last couple days. Just the same old same old. I did teach my first lesson in French this last Wed. I thought it was pretty easy. I just need some more vocab in my head and be able to understand the investigator I am teaching. We haven't got too many Elders since half our zone left 3 weeks ago but this next week, we'll hopefully be getting 16 newbies. Just so everyone knows, I've neither gained nor lost any weight since I've been here. Everyone said that I'd gain but thats not gonna happen. Anyways, thats all I got for now. Til next week.

New Years!!

Hey, Everyone!! Christmas and New Year's just passed. In here at the MTC, it doesn't feel like it at all!! Only because we don't really don anything other then go back to class and study some more. The MTC did give us little presents and that was pretty nice. And also, My district woke up at midnight New Years day and we had a couple things of Martinelli's. That was really fun. We also had some treats along with playing a rubber band war!! It was awesome. French speaking wise, things arre coming very nice. Because all of my district speaks the language very well, we are focusing more on doctrine and not on grammar. Also, according to our teacher, he said that mostly all of us will be fluent a couple months after we get out to the field. We had a really fun exercise yesterday. OUr other teacher made teach the first and second lesson in french in 3 minutes, then 2 min, then 1 min. It got pretty intense especially when we didn't have to much practice teaching it in french before. But overall, everything is going great!! My french is coming along well and it hasn't snowed in a week I think. Everyday seems to go by so slow but the weeks pass by so fast it's weird. Well, anyways, How did Marshall's wedding go?? or if you're reading this Marshall and Janelle, How did your wedding go. I haven't got too many letters lately but I know why so it's all good. Hope you all had a great Christmas, and had a Happy new Year!!-Love-Elder Jex
