Elder Lindquist 11/14

So this will be the second to last email I am able to send while at the MTC.
This last week was busy but it went by super fast. I hope this next week goes by that fast so we can head out of here without it dragging on too much. Speaking of which, we got our flight plans today. On the twenty fifth we report to the travel office at 5:00 AM, our flight is at 8:25 and we fly to NYC. Then we eat and fly to Charles de gau, Paris. We have about an hour layover there then it's about an hour long flight to Lisbon. I'm so excited; this week is going to be hard to focus when we know we're leaving so soon. A bunch of missionaries from our zone, (including one from my district) got their visas to go to Brazil. So they will all leave this Tuesday to go to Sau Palo. This is a sad thing because we are really getting to know them and they're a really cool group of Elders but everything must come to an end. So this last Thursday we taught the second lesson, (the plan of salvation) for the first time at the Teaching Evaluation Center. When we were talking about Adam and Eve neither Elder Craig or I could remember how to say multiply and replenish the earth, so I said, o primero mandamento Deus deu para Adão e eva foi para faz bebes. If you couldn't understand that I basically said the first commandment God gave Adam and Eve was to make babies. Both my companion and the investigator started busting up laughing. We'll have to work on the vocabulary more for that lesson but other than that it went well. Hopefully my bags aren’t overweight because if they are it's a $150-300 charge. We've all enjoyed our stay here but I think it's time to head out into the world and spread the gospel. We've all grown to be really good friends here, our district is by far the coolest one in the MTC. So it's going to be a sad thing to separate but we're really excited to go to Lisbon even if we can't speak a lick of Portuguese! Well I'll stop blabbing. Thanks to everyone for writing me.
