It's been 23 days at the MTC now and everything is pretty much the same as my last email for the most part. But I have had some new experiences.
French is still coming along. Sunday night my companion said he woke up to me sleeptalking in french. On Wednesday we decided to try and do an "English fast" and refrain from using English at all. It worked ok at first until we realized we have a lot to learn and can't communicate about everything we want to quite yet.
On Sunday we had to teach the lesson for both Sunday School and Priesthood Quorum. This happened because our well meaning zone leaders (who had asked us to do the second lesson after we already had one) said we could do the same lesson for both periods, so we agreed. We then found out later that they were assigned topics and we would have to teach two separate 40 minute lessons, so we got to work. They both ended up going very well and I'm glad it happened that way because now we won't have to teach another lesson in church while we're here.
Halloween is pretty uneventful at the MTC. There weren't any decorations except for the ones put up by Elders in their our residences, and we still had to wear a white shirt and tie (no dressing up). I was able to kind of get around those rules by wearing another white shirt underneath, with a drawing of a jack o lantern taped to it that showed through the shirt I had on top. I'll attach pictures below.
Happy Halloween!
Elder Martin
