This week has been hard. Nothing much really happened, just very long classes and days. 

We go to the temple every Tuesday and do an endowment session (The Blessings of the Temple). The temple is medium sized but beautiful in its simplicity.

Nothing really happened this week at all. The new arrivals came, a lot of 18 year olds straight out of high school kids (Missionary Age Requirements). 

We just study all day and learn a little Greek. We teach lessons every day in Greek and eat lots of food, exercise, and sleep. I hurt my knee last week when Elder F. and I collided while playing chair soccer in the gym. Don't worry though, I'm 100% ok. 

I had to give a talk in Greek on Sunday; it went really rough. I didn't have the Greek written out and had to try and translate my English on the spot—went super rough. I played piano for S. (head chef) and his friends. They sang “Brightly Beams Our Father's Mercy.” They smashed it.

I am working on a rendition of “Pie Jesu” with Elder F. and Elder G. Hopefully S. will be able to sing again as well. 

Sundays are the best day in the MTC by far. We have a great time and can relax but also have class. 

Several people have been struggling with really bad homesickness this week. I think it's because all of our friends left, and we are still here. Our district is going to be super sad when the German and English (second language) missionaries leave. They're amazing and have been our Physical Activity group. 

I can't think of much else.

Love,

Elder Müller
