Dear friends and family,
The MTC is going well! I love it so so much. I learn so much and I have a lot of good fun times :) There is a time for learning and a time to have fun. :)
Gym time is always a blast, especially this last time, as the entire zone played a huge kickball game, it was epic.

The Czech, Slovak, Croatian, and Slovene Elder and Sisters left this past week and the new ones came in. Three Czech sisters joined my companions and I in our room. So now there's six of us in there! Its not originally meant to fit six, only 4, but its not bad at all. (There has been 6 in a room normally for.... a long time, I think since the announcement, we were just blessed to have only 3 in our room. (My companion, Sister Ott; Solo sister, Sister Paxton; and me :)) It doesn't seem crowded and I love all of them being there. I thought'd be something we'd all have to work through, but we all transistioned well and we all fit comfortably and quite happily. (Any friend that's going to MTC, don't worry about being crowded, its not, there's a lot of people here, but they time everything so there's not a lot of people in one place, except for devotionals and for sisters combined Relief Society (which is amazing)).
The language is going along well, The gift of tongues is real! Fun thing about Polish, becuase it is an inflected language, the word endings change to conotate meaning. There are 7-8 cases (Mianownik, Dopełniacz, Biernik, Miasownik, and others I can't remember off the top of my head). That is how names change with what you are trying to say, like you add -ego to the end of a name to conotate something, or add an -a or something else. So they can say that something is 'by the means of' with one letter. I think the Poles are geniuses, they say so much in so little words, the language is hard, because of the geniusness of it all! They have three different ways to conjugate verbs, and then future and past tense then on top of that they have imperfective and perfective. Perfective does not exsist in present tense though, because that wouldn't make any sense. Imperfective is for something habitual or in the process of. Perfective is something that will be done, or has previously been done, and its finished and done, not reoccuring.
Hope all is going well in all your lives!
Heavenly Father loves all of you so much! Take some time to get to know Him a bit better than you do now.
