Teaching in Polish (Week 2)

IMG_0184

Dzien Dobry!!

It’s been another great week here at the MTC!! I hit my 2 week mark yesterday! 2 weeks down and 7 to go, and it just gets better and better!

This week my schedule has evened out and I have almost the same schedule every day which is so nice!

My district has continued to learn a ton of Polish. Every day we have language class and several times a week, we get 2 hr time blocks to study the language. Every other day or so we teach mini 5-10 min practice lessons. It’s AMAZING to think that just a 2 weeks ago, most of my district was learning how to say hello in polish (cześć!) and now we can say fun things like “Co wiesz na temat nauczania Jezusa Chrystusa?” (“What do you know on the subject of Christ’s teachings?”) I have seen the Lord’s hand in my life every day as I have read the scriptures and studied this beautiful language.

Yesterday (Wednesday), we had our first TRC, where you get to teach 2 twenty minute lessons in a row to someone who speaks your mission language. It was SO FUN and went really well!! Siostra Sjodin and I went over our lesson several times beforehand, and it totally paid off. We couldn’t understand every single thing the person we were teaching told us (they are only allowed to speak Polish) BUT it was amazing to realize how much we could understand!!

Well, that’s all for this week!

I’m so grateful for this opportunity I have to be at the MTC and to prepare to serve the people of Poland. Thank you for all the love and support!!
