So I talked to the travel office and my departure date
from the MTC is scheduled for November 2nd. I should be getting my flight plans
on Friday which is exciting. Also overwhelming, but I know that it will be
awesome. Spanish is going well, I'm still just learning more every day. I
taught an investigator yesterday completely in Spanish which was awesome. I
only didn't know a couple words but then I just turn to my one of my comps and
ask if he knows the word and one of them usually does so we can keep going.
It's like we all know words that the others don't so with our combined
knowledge we rarely have to look up a word. And we all learn from each other at
the same time which is cool.
This is a little random but our district was talking
about which scripture we chose for our plaques at our church buildings and I
don't know if the bishop got another one for me yet, or if he just used the
same scripture I had before. If he did, that's fine, but if not and he's
getting a new one I would want to change the scripture to Matthew 10:39. So
there's that.
So I have a goal to lose weight / get in better shape but
I've kind of given up on it here because there is too much food and candy
everywhere lol. Every time someone gets a package full of stuff they share and
so we have a surplus of junk food in all of our dorms. There are vending
machines right by our rooms and we get a certain amount of money on our cards
for every week for them, and we don't get to choose what we eat each meal so
that's all kind of amounted to me postponing my beginning towards that goal
haha. In the field I'll be able to shop and plan my meals out so I'm just
waiting until then to start.
One thing that I was worried about when I got here was
whether or not I would be with good people that I could be friends with and it
turns out that my entire zone here is really cool for the most part. There are
a ton of zones here and when I look at the other districts I'm glad I'm in the
one that I am. There are just a lot of boys here but not a lot of young men if
that makes sense. All of the more mature people are in my zone which is
awesome. There are always a few exceptions, but I've been really blessed to be
surrounded by the people that I am.
I've also discovered the beauty of laundry, It's like my
favorite thing now. Sorry Mom for not discovering this sooner lol. I love
feeling nice and clean and so it makes me happy to clean all of my clothes and
feel fresh. Anyways, this week has been pretty good and I"ll let everyone
know if anything new happens. I hope everyone is doing well, love you
all.
