It's Me. Ya Boi

​​Yet another Saturday has happened. And so I write an Email.

I will be completely Honest, I don't remember a whole lot of what happened this week so I am just going to be going through the week in my Journal to try and remember.
Everything here feels fast. Days go by quickly, and weeks even quicker. I feel like I've been here for a day yet it's almost been two weeks!

The week started on Sunday which was Christmas eve. Breakfast was cereal. we then went to our zone room for the three hour block. apparently everyone was supposed to prepare a talk on the atonement of Christ, but I hadn't heard about that. thankfully they grabbed others to talk. Because this was our first Sunday the rest of the meetings were just talking about what we would be doing in the future. Then after lunch, we had a cool Christmas Eve program, with adorable kids doing the acting. After that we watched the single worst movie I have ever seen in my life. It was called something like Christmas for a dollar... And it was awful. I don't remember specifics, because most of it has been blocked from my memory.

The next day was Christmas. in the morning they decided to play us a version of the Christmas Carol... but it was early in the morning and not muppets so I am fairly sure that the majority of people slept right through it. After that we called families, opened some presents, and had lunch. Then we went to a David Archuleta Concert. I am not kidding. I guess hes good at singing, but I don't think he fit in with the rest of the day. Well I guess I can now put on my resume "Ushered at a David Archuleta Concert"

And that was Christmas!

Tuesday was just some classes about the BoM.

Wednesday was some condensed Teachings about the Plan of Salvation lesson, we had to practice teaching it to other companion-ships. Elder Brown and I in our free time got distracted during companion study, and did some math that came out to be 42 as the answer. I also had a cold on Wednesday.
Thursday Elder Brown woke up to some terribly rash-ed hands. It looked like his skin was falling off exaggeration. So slightly-sick me and bone-and-nerves-showing exaggeration him went to the infirmary. Turns out he was having an allergic reaction to the hand sanitize-er in every building here and his skin was drying out really quickly. Whoops. At dinner Elder Mendoza (part of our zone) got up on a table and yelled really loudly... for a dare... Its been three days and he still hasn't gone home so.... ok

Yesterday was one of our teachers last day. Brother Bennett will be moving on to instead of teaching missionaries, he will teach high school students, that's right, he will be a seminary teacher. So for his last day he had us teach him, which was weird. Then we took pictures(coming later), and ate pizza. We also got to teach Joe again, (our other teacher) and according to the other students, he has an issue that we haven't found yet. oh well.

That's been the week! Someone ask some questions or ask for some clarification so I know what parts to expound on! Lots of pictures are coming later today! rn though I have to go do laundry!

Day Four

Here's Photos!

Oh wait the computers here are locked down so much that i can't figure out how to send pictures. :(

well..... if I can figure it out then I will send them.




for now here is a recap of my first day  (send me peoples emails [Ian, dad, grandparents, i guess whoever wants to be on my list... ] so when I figure out pictures i can send then)

btw we can read emails whenever but only send them on pday. and we can also send emails all throughout pday, so back and forth conversation is totally possible.

I walked up the stairs(last place the parents saw me) and into a room where i was given schedules, name tags, a tablet, a id card for the mtc, and then rushed out back in to the cold.

i followed my host(another elder) to my room then quickly grabbed some class stuff and then went to my classroom. (host left to help others)

we met our teacher brother ohnicie (oh-knee-key) he is awesome. we did some introductions while others slowly showed up, until eventually... "lets start class im sure your companion will show up" I still didn't have a companion!!

class,
 then meeting with mtc president,
 then dinner,
 then class around 6:00 we were walking into class and my companion was there! Elder Brown was stuck in an airport (coming from Texas) for 5 and a half HOURS!

Elder Brown is awesome and i would have another picture to show you if this would work. oh well

He and I get together smashingly! he is just Great! lots of great knowledge and humor! He is tall thin, auburn hair, and cool!

please send me questions I can reply all through out the day, and I will just work on my picture problem.

also no going to the temple cause its closed :( afternoon is laundry and pday ends at 6:30.
