MOMMA BEAR!
I actually have time to write today i am in no rush. I have gotten your packages and I seriously love them! and to all my friends and family out there please please please send me dear elders. If you text my momma she will tell you how to do that. I have been super homesick all week and I have really missed everyone, and those letters I receive daily give me such a push honestly they truly truly mean the world to me. I would appreciate it. and thats to all my friends especailly! just a hey and an I love you seriously does more than you guys know. and I LOVE PACKAGES! ive gotten 2 from you momma and 1 from my babygirl (: It had everything I wanted..especially the love I felt from both of you guys sending me packages. Packages are like Christmas times 10000. Everyone screams and gets so pumped up when they see that they have a package. I love you and miss you so much momma you have no idea. I have really been homesick this week though. I pray nonstop because my heart just hurts so bad being away from so many people I love and care about, especially you /: But i pray non stop and somehow I just make it to the end of that day and on to the next.
WHAT I DO ALL DAY......
Well today We got to go to the temple! I honestly love it so much. especially when you go with all your missionary friends and everyone has such a strong testimony its so powerful! SO I guess for this week, we basically do the same thing every day! we learn and learn and learn 10 hours a day about the language and reading the book of mormon and the bible. I am able to keep my tablet but I only use it for personal study. SO fun facts about the island of Reunion. Since we are technically part of the Madagascar Antannarivo Mission, I didnt know how the whole zone leader and a.p. thing worked . So I talked to a teacher here who got back 3 months ago and there are 2 FRENCH assistants to the president on reunion, and then there is the regular assistants in madagascar and the mission president and his wife. They only make the 400 mile flight every 3 months, so we are basically all by ourselves. Its kinda awesome. IF any of you guys have the chance to just go on google images and type in ISLE DE REUNION youll see where I am going and how beautiful it is. I love it so much!
MY DISTRICT............
We all have good laughs with eachother its gunna be hard to say goodbye to them when they leave to montreal and I have to go to Reunion by myself. We are all such good friends and we have so much stuff that we do...like tomorrow all the new french missionaries come in and we tell them they have to be in bed by 10..and then we sing a song in the dorms called "souviens toi" which means remember in english..and its a french lullaby that moms sing to their kids, and the french put it in their cantique (hymn) livre (book) to make them happy so we sing it as a hymn sometimes. So, basically we storm into the new missionaries rooms and we sing the lullaby to them and tuck them in and put them to sleep its SOOO FUNNY. we do it on the first night for them to relieve some scared feelings and if they misssed their mommy like I did. you all should look it up its such a soft song.
THE LANGUAGE.....
Our teachers name is Frere Call which is brother in french. He is AWESOME! he just got back from paris and he speaks such good french he has an amazing accent and he teaches me the language so so well! its awesome!
My french roomates are awesome. Elder R.....he cant speak any english except for a small bit and its awesome. haha starting this next sunday the other french elder who can speak english is going to stop speaking english to us,, so we have to speak only french in our room! Its crazy the amount of growth that happens here. spiritually, and with the language I give so much credit to heavenly father.
Well I have to head back to the room! I want you ALL to know that I love you and miss you so much and you are all in my prayers.. again please send me some dear elders they really keep me going.. And pray for me because I have felt very homesick.
I love the true church of jesus christ. I have learned so much and I am in love with this gospel. heavenly father truly blesses his children. I have such a strong testimony. of this gospel and I cannot wait to share that message with the people in reunion. I love you all so much!
With a full heart,
Elder cooper Clark
