December 6, 2013

Responding to your dear elder about the weather it has been pretty cold. The other night we all went out bare feet in our shorts and did snow angels and ran around then warmed up in the showers! It was really fun but freezing cuz it was late at night! (before lights out). Then on Wednesday i was out for like 2 and a half hours because our district was asked to host the new missionaries but the district asked to direct the traffic bailed cuz they didnt wanna be out in the cold and they asked for volunteers, so long story short i was outside directing traffic in a suit and a yellow vest for two hours. And it was a fun experience it was a good change of pace from being in the class all day. It was kinda funny looking at all the new missionaries and what not. But this week has been great as always, Elder ballard was supposed to come talk to us on tuesday but he got stuck wherever he was and a 70 came with only an hour and a half warning and gave an incredible talk for an hour, those men are insane and so in tune with the spirit. Other significant things one of the other elders from the other district elder kampf, the one i work out with, loves working out with me and i love working out with him and since we are having such a dandy time with it we have created a plan. He is already out of college and has like crazy coaching license for soccer so when we get back he is going to coach in colorado and we are going to get a beat up ware house and he is going to be my trainer and im going to get into boxing competitions and its going to be awesome, so just a heads up on that. And we are both serious about it soooooo. we will have to see how that plays over but yeah. Oh and also i went to the doctor because i had an over acidic stomach, but i got medicine and no need to worry its all good :) like seriously it just made me hungry and i would just wake up in the middle of the night and have to eat something. Also kelsey, i would invite you to get me red bulls or coke. I must be mistaken cuz i really thought you actually loved me for a second. I wont make that mistake again. Im still loving it here at the MTC portuguese is getting better every day, my companions and district and zone are great. I am not the district leader any more because you only can be it for up to three weeks but its kinda nice to not have to be in charge per say but they all still expect me to kinda take control of things even though ive been trying to take a back seat. The hardest part about the MTC is the sisters, Its like wow, you are attractive and you are serving the lord as well, makes the attractive ones that more attractive. But you dont have to worry because all the elders make fun of me because whenever an attractive sister talks to me i freak out and stumble across my words. I try to avoid them at all costs though, but sometimes they talk to me and yeah i freak out. But dont worry, I am so focused on getting prepared to go serve the lord out in the field and im dedicating everything i have to it with remaining focused on what im here to do and who i represent. It was funny when i was getting my blood drawn the older nurse asked me if i was scared of needles and i said no ma'am only sisters. and she laughed it was funny. So thats the update for this week!


Elder Foland and Elder Davis!
