Ha ha yes, mom was right. Die Familie means the family and is pronounced like dee. I didn’t even think about it. Ha ha, that made me laugh. Life is great. Swiss-German is to German like Flemish is to Dutch. Which reminds me, mom can you send me the addresses of Ine and Julia, the dancers from Belgium? I made some friends at the MTC that are going there Dutch speaking. I'm starting to understand more and more and I'm speaking or trying to speak more. It's pretty hard because everyone speaks Swiss-German to my comp because she can understand it, but I’m trying anyway. So basically here isn't much different from there. It's warmer right now and there isn’t any snow. There has been rain but not too much. I haven't really noticed a difference in the people; they're kind of just like us Americans really. I mean obviously different culture, but I don’t know maybe I was just expecting the difference to be drastic. I get along great with my companion. She loves princesses and she’s very easy going. The food here is still pretty good although I think Laura cooks better than anything I have had. We eat a lot of brie cheese its only 1 euro for a triangle. oh mensch we had an eating appointment with an old lady from the branch and she made a spinach and bacon quiche or however you spell that and mensch that is one dish that I really don’t like I was fine for the first half of my helping, but by the last bites I just wanted to throw up and then she gave me more and I don’t know how I got it all down...but I did. I don’t usually like eggs. Anyway it was really painful. Other than that, the eating appointments we’ve had have been pretty good. I actually always eat slower than everyone else and never on purpose so I always feel kind of bad and they never really feed you more than you can handle. Oh yeah so yesterday I played the piano in church and ha ha the first song I botched really badly because it’s really hard for me to play while others are singing. But I pulled it together mostly and the others weren’t too bad. I’ve been practicing a lot and the lord is definitely blessing me because I can basically play all of the hymns and back home even the ones I semi knew were hard. It’s kind of incredible really, I love playing. And it’s such a blessing that I get to play for church. It’s pretty great. I can’t think of anything else to say at the moment, but I hope this finds you all in good spirits and if it doesn’t then I hope you do something to change that because it’s you who decides how happy and successful you are. Love you all!!!
Love,
Betsy
