Hello family. I'm still alive. Things are good here. The
days are longgggg, especially cuz we get up so early and are going going going
for so long each day. But its a good time. I'm loving it here, for the most
part. My testimony has grown a lot. This past Sunday, Elder Ballard came and
spoke to everyone, and his message was broadcast to all the other MTCs. His
topic was kind of surprising. He talked about locking our hearts and not
allowing anyone to enter them. This means like don't get into relationships
with Sisters or any girls in the mission. He also said "Thou shalt not
flirt," and that was kind of the topic of his address. He also talked
about true conversion, and shared his powerful testimony. Another thing he
talked about was that our loyalty is to the Lord, then to the mission
president. We should tell the president if things aren't quite in order, and
our loyalty is not to our companion if they're not choosing the right. It's
been really cool to hear the apostles though, and I think another one is coming
for the devotional tonight
Back Row: L-R Elder Yang, Elder Wayment, Elder Giddings, Elder Miller (district leader) Elder Hinckley (roomate) Elder Rich, Elder Tayler (my comp). Front Row: L -R Elder Seims, Elder Vang
(He's Hmong), Elder Tarone, Elder Lamb , Elder Israelson
Anyway, here's some more specifics I haven't covered yet. The food here is decent. Like some meals are really good,
but some meals are reallllly not good haha. It's basically like cruise ship
style food, but nothing is even close to that good. Except the chocolate milk.
That's delicious and the ice cream. I try not to eat too much of either
though, because we literally sit down all day and I don't want to gain very much
weight in fat.
On Saturday, we had a crazy kickball game between the Hmong
district and the Thai/Vietnamese district. In our zone, there are 5 sisters,
and they were all on the other team. The weather was kind of crazy, and we were
playing from 7:30-8:30 at night. It wasn't raining, but there was some
lightning like further away in the city. I was out in outfield, and some crazy
old lady came walking up. Like we were in the middle of this field, nothing was
even close to us, and she just yells to me "you have to call it right
now!!!" I kinda just looked at her and was like what? and she just
repeated it. Then she said "if you stay out here any longer, someone's
gonna get struck by lightning!" which i mean could have been a valid
concern, but the lightning was like nowhere near us. So I said well, you want
me to like tell the people in charge? and she, in a little fit of rage, storms
off and yells "I'll see you on the news!" It was crazy, haha. Super
weird. But don't worry, I worked at the RV Park, I understand old people, haha.
The investigator we have been teaching, Phiab, revealed
himself to be our teacher on Thursday. His name is Brother Lee, and he's actually
an awesome teacher. He speaks more English than brother Gardiner, which is
great. Now Brother Gardiner is pretending to be the investigator, and we're
teaching him.
Dall and Kason left this past week. It made me kinda sad, I
miss my bros. We're really bonding as a district though. We do story time every
night, its pretty funny. Everyone is really crazy though. They also gave
everyone spirit animals, and I'm Agent P, so that's cool! :)
HAPPY BIRTHDAY ANNA!!!!!
