"Things here at the MTC are pretty much the same. Every week we do more SYL ( speak your own language, just incase your forgot). Starting in 2 weeks we do nothing but SYL untill right before we leave. The TRC teaching is still stressful but we learn a lot. My companion speaks a lot better than me but i am working really hard. He spoke pretty good french before he got here so i think knowing another weird language helped him with this one. I am happy though because i continue to improve and i know it will eventually come and it wont come all the way for any of us until we get out into the field and its all around us. Im nervous but so excited to get over there. I havent recieved an itinerary yet. I wont get that until a week or so before i leave. But it will be around Oct 6th...Tomorrow we teach lesson two in Albanian and a lot of people are more nervous for this one because the new vocab but i feel more confident because i feel like im getting a lot better and saying sentences that make sense =).
