Tomas Mission

Hey everyone! This is it-my last email from the MTC!! We’ve been working hard recently in class to finish up everything so that we’re ready. It’s been good here, and I’m definitely going to miss the friends I’ve made while here – most of them are Finnish speaking so we will not see them again until after the mission. But it’s been great here and I’ve learned and grown a ton.  As far as my Slovak goes, I have learned SO much here. I thought I was decent before, but I barely knew any grammar or even how to read

Ahoj everyone!! It’s been such a fast week since my last email, probably because not a lot has happened, but I’ll try my best to make this interesting. I’ll start with the language and such – I feel like it’s coming along so well! At first when I got here I was worried seven weeks would be too short and I’d feel all stressed about going, but now I am just ready to leave. Just like 13 more days and I’ll be in Slovakia if all goes according to plan. Our practice lessons are continuing to go well and every

Here’s the latest from Tomas: Hey everyone! I hope you’ve all been doing well. Things are still all good here, although this week a lot of our friends left since they were learning languages that were less than 7 weeks here. So we no longer have any Norwegian, Swedish, or Spanish speakers on our floor – it’s so quiet. I’m glad I could meet them and wish them all the best out there, but it’s just not the same anymore. I just have 3 ish weeks left here though! I can’t wait to actually be out there in Slovakia. We teach

Here’s Tomas with another update and more pictures: Hi everyone! Feels like only a few days ago that I wrote the last one of these, but I guess it’s already been a week! The days are kind of slow here, but the weeks are honestly so fast. To give you an idea, here is our usual schedule: 6:30 wake up 7:00-7:15 plan the day a little bit 7:15-7:45 breakfast 8:00-8:30 study language a little bit before class 8:30-11:30 morning language and teaching class (both how to be a missionary and teach people and practice and learning in Slovak) 11:45-12:30 lunch

Here we are at another week! I told Tomas that last week his email was a bit on the short side, and asked if he couldn’t provide a bit more context. He delivered this week. 🙂 So without further ado from me, here’s Tomas: Hey everyone! I’ve officially been a missionary for a whole month now! The first while was pretty slow, but each passing day seems to get faster. The language is coming along well – we are teaching practice lessons in Slovak and each one is so much better than the last. It’s also fun to see the differences
