Week #4
This has been a good week though at times frustrating. Twelve weeks is a LONG time to spend here and the schedule is a bit routine. At times it is frustrating to spend all day in class and not feel like much progress is being made. This feeling is compensated by moments when all we learn comes together and we are able to teach an incredible and uplifiting spiritual lesson. I have been making a good amount of progress in Russian though yesterday I taught my first lesson almost exclusively in Russian and I realize how much I am lacking in my language knowledge. Some days I feel like I make an enormous amount of progress while other days are much slower and more piecemeal. I look forward to being able to speak Russian fluently by the end of my time. I know that if I ever come back to live in Israel that it will be a very useful language to know. I am also trying to run more and more each time I go to gym. Yesterday I was able to jog two miles non-stop which was an enormous improvement over where I was when I started. There is a lot of food here and so loosing weight is not very easy, but I hope to be able to lose some and to get into far better shape. I already feel that I have far more energy and so that is very encouraging. General conference was a lot of fun to watch and very spiritually uplifting.
