Day 8. MTC

Wednesday, Apr 17, 1996

Location: MTC

Well, it's been a whole week. It feels like a year. Elder E. was joking in class about that. A week is like a year at the MTC. Well then, we have only 7 years left. Today at lunch I was dared to try and slurp up a cup of jello cubes in 15 seconds. It took me at least four times to try, because everyone kept on laughing and making me laugh. I made it in about 16 seconds, though. I did get a dollar out of it. It is so hard for me to study die Schriften [the scriptures] and to even say my prayers. My companion and roomies talk and talk and talk. I just try to concentrate.
