I got to see elder sayer and elder
brotherson on my first day. Then I saw elder Kiehl yesterday. It was
really cool getting to see him but I only got to talk to him for about
30 seconds.
So today is the third day and it was really cool. We got to do some
online safety thing then a mock trial of the first lesson which is the
restoration which is really good. It was fun. Then we taught our
investigator Siddhi for the 2nd time and it was good. We read the BOM
with her and it was cool. I think I'm getting the hang of all of this
and I'm learning so much rn! Then we had exercise time and I went and
worked out and for the rest of the night it's just personal study and
companion study so it's really nice. I found this cool way to organize
my scrips and I hope that it works out how I want it to! Also funny
story about today. Me and one of the companions in my zone today were
getting some more food and we were talking to some sisters for a sec
and he likes one of them so I was giving him crap as we were walking
away and as I was looking and talking to him I totally ran into a
trashcan and biffed it so bad it was hilarious XD
Saturday was a pretty good day. We woke up @6 and went and did
service. Then we went to some classes and it was all good and I
finished up teaching Siddhi. It was cool! After dinner we had exercise
time and then went and played basketball. It was fun and the time here
is so slow. I've heard it all goes faster after Sunday so that's what
I'm hoping for. I leave the MTC on July 31 which is a Monday I think
and I heard that our P days are Monday's in Indy so I hope we get some
time to email you guys. When I'm teaching I have moments where I feel
like I'm super good but then the next second I feel like I'm a
horrible teacher haha
My district is the best and they're super fun and we joke around all
the time. It helps so much with being homesick. My room is all
Indianapolis guys and we hang out all the time!
Here is a pic of my roommates and we are basically girls bc we've been
coordinating our slacks and suits and ties and everything haha. But
all of them are the best. Elder Matz is my companion. Elder Saari
(sorry) is in the middle next to me and his companion Elder Speth. The
older looking one is Elder Henderson, and his companion Elder Kinross.
Sunday was such an amazing experience. Church and the meetings were
all good but then that night we got to watch a video by elder Bednar
that is only showed in the MTC and you can't find it anywhere else. I
felt the spirit so strongly and gained a small personal testimony and
recognition of the characteristics of Christ and why I'm here on my
mission for the next 2 years! It was so cool.
You can send this email to people if you want. Also idk if the pics are showing up or not but if not tell me and I'll resend them
Love you so much mom and miss you tons!!
Elder Tolman
