Letter Week 2

Dear Family,

So you'll probably get this long after you get my email, but here are some leftovers that I'm guessing won't fit in the email.  We're only allowed to email or write on P-days so this is all until next week. 

So first, I'll tell you about my roommates.  Elder Joseph Mohrmon is from Payson, Utah and he is going to the Netherlands.  Elder Tolman is from Highland, Utah and is going to Denmark with me.

I set a goal while here to read the Book of Mormon all the way through by the end of the year.  In less than a week, I got all the way through 1 Nephi and learned more than all of my previous reads put together.  It's amazing how with no distractions and the Spirit to guide you how much you can learn.  I also have received a testimony of the gift of tongues.  As I mentioned in the email, all that I learned in Danish in one week, took me much longer in German and Latin.  I know that it is not because of more study because most of our days are devoted to learning how to teach.  I know that the Lord is blessing me to become more fluent in the language and for that I am so grateful.  Although some things are just unavoidable, like one foul-up this week.  While practicing door approaches one Elder instead of saying "I know God loves His children," he said "I know God makes love with his children."  It was funny and really broke the tension we were feeling.

All right, I'll email next week.  Love you all so much and miss you.

Elsker William

PS - Could I get the dates and times of the BYU home games?
