Week 3 - Into the Field!

This week Kara left the MTC and moved to her first assigned area--Liverpool, England.  Here is an excerpt from her latest letter:
Headed Out
                            
So... where am I? .... Liverpool. One of the largest cities in England. We don't have a car and run to catch the bus constantly, but I think it's growing on me. I think I'll survive.

My companion is Sister Chuo, She's from Taiwan. We left the stake center and got into Liverpool just in time to catch the bus to a dinner appointment. No rest for the weary. It was a lovely member family.

Yesterday was hectic. We are constantly running here or running there, and by running I don't mean just going constantly I mean quite literally running.

Because my companion speaks Chinese, she has taken it on herself to teach basically anyone who is Chinese. We've had at least 6 appointments and all of them were Chinese. I often just smile and nod
as they are all speaking in Chinese.

When we aren't speaking to the Chinese, we try to speak to the "English"... they don't speak English.
The Liverpool Dialect is so very thick that is extremely hard to understand them. Try saying out loud: AnenIdashtoastoangotmesomemil.  Any idea what they're saying?... Translation: And then I dashed to the
store and got me some milk. Yup. That's what I am dealing with currently.

Monday is my P Day now.  I am so fatigued, I just want to sleep all day Monday!
