MTC - Week Five

Hey friends!

If you haven't heard there was an earthquake in Taiwan this past week. Please pray for them.

Learning Mandarin is the hardest thing for me here. I'm constantly having to remind myself to not compare myself to others. It's hard. I'm a little stressed because I have less time left here in the mtc then I have been here for and I still have lots to learn. I shared my testimony in sacrament meeting in all Chinese and I know I made sense because cute Sister Dung was nodding at everything I said hahaha. Everyone is saying that I will learn most of my Chinese when I get to Taiwan so that gives me some hope. During language study the scene from Pink Panther popped into my head when Steve Martin is trying to say hamburger. That's me with basically every Chinese word lol.

My teacher Gwo Laoshi shared her conversion story with us. It was amazing and even after we left the classroom to go to our residence for the little 8 hour nap we get each night, I couldn't stop crying. Maybe it was a little pathetic how much I cried lol but she is AMAZING.  

Fast Sunday was great! fei chang zhufu (very blessed) except choir was cancelled :( but we did get to sing on Tuesday and the camera zoomed in on mine and Sister Menzies faces. We are considered MTC famous now so that's cool. Oh and we found out we are getting 7 more elders and 3 more sisters. Fun!! 

Me and Sister Menzie got addicted to Two Brothers Two this week. It's a LDS video series that is amazing. We would watch it every spare moment we could. It is so relatable and it's so cool to watch the different experiences they had. I would suggest watching it. 

There is an Australian Polynesian Sister here that we have become friends with. She calls us her "white family" and pretends to speak chinese to us by making little noises hahaha its hilarious. One night we were helping a sister pack in the hall and she came and sat by us. She was so fascinated by the puff cheetos.

Saying of the week: #beizhufu 

I love the gospel!! Have a good week!!
Love, Sister Scharman
