i hope you all are doing well! i know things are going good over here!
last p-day i was able to get a cool mission ring for 8 bucks so im so pumped to finally get it today! so this week had its ups and its downs and its almost going down but really just coming out of my mouth adn making me feel sick...you will knoiw what i mean.
so on i think on wednesday or thursday or something some missionaries in my district and in the other one decided to do some pretty dumb unmissionary things. so me and the other district leader had tpo set up a meeting with everyone and talk to them about the dnagers of what they did and how nogt only could they face consewuences but also their companion even if they didnt do anything. so we talked with them and talked about how we are all needing to adjust but we all have to work har on adjusting so we told them that and told them how much we loved them and the problems almost all went away so we will see what happens.
One of my investigators just looks t our appointmesnts as just talking so its been rough trying to teach hima nd find out the truth for himself but we will try to figure things out hopefully it will get worked out!
I had the chance to trade some ties with some filipinos i love! that was awesome they gaeve me some cool ties and they didnt even pick my favorite ones so that was awesome! i love being around the filipinos because i just mess with them and will randomely hug and hold elders and they just go with it.
Crazy thing happened provo batch came and didnt even see this coming my bruddy Raymond Fowler who lived in my dad's old ward, came to the mtc! i havent seen him since before my dad passed away. it was great being able to reconnect. he is a cool dude! he brought his ukulele so that was fun!
I LOVE SUNDAYS. sacrament meetings, district meeting and priesthood meeting and movies. in the meetings the spirit is alwasy so strong! i love leading district meetings because again we talked about our goals and our goals for christ-like attributes and tralking about the impacts the thigns make on our lives and experiences we have had applying these goals to better ourtselves is awesome! definitely is important to focus on trying to become like christ alwayas and as a missionary.
for the movie part! man its so fun being able to watch church movies. in some the acting is so bad its hilarious, but they are still good. one of the guys in the movies looked like the mixture of ryan gosling and nicholas cage and it was so funny finding that out. when we see a kiss scene we liked to get hyped its so funny hahaha we laugh a lot.
So im no longer district leader but me and my companion are the language training missionary zone leaders so that was exciting to hear! im excited to be able to continue to serve in a leadership calling.
alright lets get sad and then we will get some laughs going.
so the senior language training missionaries(LTMs) are leaving and so are my favorite indian sisters and the filipinos. its sad!!! i dont want them to go! its not easy having to say goodbye but it will be okay cuz we have the work to keep us busy!
alright now BALUT...so for anyone who has no idea what balut is...look it up. but im also gonna describe it. its a dug egg wiht an embryo inside and the yoke that gets stuck in the ground and ferments about 18 days or so and they boil it and eat it. i have a video of me trying it. but anyway its not even the thought of ewating a baby duck thats gross...its the fact that it tastes like egg fart that really makes hair on the back of your neck whip and do the nay-nay.
you will see my attempts of it and man i couldnt do it cuz i was just gaggign from everytime i tried.
back to a different subject hahaha. anyway so our district goal was to take someones tray back during meal times. and let me tell you, that was probably some of the most fun i had in the mtc jsut being able to clean peoples mess off their plates and take back their plates and tray. i mean its a small act of service...but it gets addicting fast! i help out someone and then i just have to go to find someone else who is done eating. being able to do that small act of service definitely made me happy. even with small acts of service i think you can make a difference. and i just loved being able to help people out and hopefully brighten their day.
It really small things that can help make us happy. serving truly is wonderful and invite everyone reading to find a way even if its something small, to serve someone. i know you will be happy when you do it.
I love you all SO much and being here is great! i miss you guys but the mission is also very great and im glad to be here! take care! cant wait to hear from you!
