what upppppp!!! yo yo yo!

 

well another week is in the bag and pounds are still being put on my body!!! haha we eat so much here that lately ive had to stop eating as much.... i dont wanna have a big belly like biggins... NO BUENO. im not getting fat on my mission i'll tell you that much. i figure if the lord loves me and if i work hard on my mission he wont allow me to be a fatty or go bald.... haha is that a bad thing to say??? well hopefully it doesnt happen.

last thursday i got a haircut... NO BUENO. Never let the mtc hair salon cut your hair..... i walk in and she goes "how long do you want it" my response was "as long as possible to make missionary standards"..... yeah she pretty much shaved my head. NOT COOL OF HER. she was satan cutting my hair. she took that electric shaver and started going to town on my curls! i was pisssssed!! haha i was trying to crack jokes to her saying that she cut all of my luscious curls off. SHE DIDNT THINK THAT WAS FUNNY. i thought it was pretty messed up of her to not respect my sexy curly hair and cut all of it off. she messed my day up for sure. hahah you gotta respect the girls! how else am i supposed to convince people to get baptized. the curls will get em.

 

well being on a mission still doesnt seem real to me. i still dont seem old enough to be a missionary or that its that point of time in my life right now. i can promise you im giving it my all. i feel like i work as hard as i can. sometimes i want to punch spanish in the face but i feel that i am somewhat patient with it... im still walking around with a big dumb smile on my face loving life... sometimes its a fake smile but hey whatever it takes to be positive right?? its really weird being in the mtc..... you have the same schedule on the majority of your days so i feel like the 3 weeks that i have been in here has all meshed into 1 day..... days seem like weeks and weeks seem like days. its goes by super slow sometimes and other time its breezing right by me. i love my district though.. they are all way cool and we have a good time... i can joke around in there so it keeps me sane... all the teacher get a kick out of me because i try and keep things fun.  hahah my spanish sucks and i always try and say sweet things in spanish that they laugh at.
 
on a more serious note one thing that i have learned in here is how to love people.... that is one of the characters of christ is to really love people and love them for who they are. ive really tried to look for positives in every person that i encounter and i always try to do things that might brighten their day in one way or another.... i dont know if i make a difference in their life but i do know that im trying to do things for other people that it has made a difference in my life... its crazy how much happier you are when you love the people around you and try and truly attend to their needs. im not trying to sound like im a good person or anything like that but i know that i have become a much more happier person because of it. ALL I KNOW IS THAT JESUS CHRIST IS PRETTY AWESOME!! haha i bet jesus balled hard when he was on the earth. biggest stud ever. i bet we would have been good friends and had a good time.. ahaha i dont know if that is appropriate to say... ooooops.

hahaha so we are teaching this mock investigator and i got the impression for me and my comp to sing families can be together forever to her..... And we would be singing this in spanish... hahahahahaha it was a train wreck!! it doesnt help that my voice sounds like a one eyed elephant voice. so we start singing the song and me and my comp both forget how it goes because its in spanish... so we cold turkey stopped singing because we couldnt remember how it went... IT WAS BAD..haha it was still cool though.. i just laughed and said "lo siento" which means sorry to the investigator. it was funny.

and for the first time i cryed when bearing my testimony in spanish...... haha i could barely spit out the words i wanted to say because it was in spanish and i dont know how to say them but i just felt the spirit so strong and couldnt help but be a baby and shed some tears here in there.... mom you cursed me with crying when bearing testimony.. ha you are probably crying as you read this... your a good hobby you know that!! good ol gobbles crying every week in church.

 well i have meditation session with 2 other elders in my district just about every day.... im like ghandi now. things get crayyyyyy in those med sesh's.... breathe in breathe out.... get your inner peace on . its dope. one time we were doing a meditation session and one elder was sitting on my bed and on my pillow.... in the middle of the session he farted on my pillow!!!! NOT COOL.... i threw him right off my bed. nobody can fart on my pillow... thats messed up right???? haha it was actually way funny.... sometimes i feel like i have never laughed harder then in the mtc.. and other times the mtc sucks... haha its a good kind of suck though i guess..

 

well today i was able to clean the temple for 3 1/2 hours which was awesome!

o yeah i ate some more salad this week. and it was way gross. i still gagg just about every time.... i ate pineapple too.. things get crayyyyy in the lunch room when i start trying food. its funny to everybody else but me.hahah

 

mommm thank you so much for the package again!!!! totally made my day... the brownies were delicious, the xbalm was awesome!! i love the handgrips! the candy also delish.... i cant remember on the top of my head what else was in there but i loved it!! o yeah the curly sexy hair shampoo and conditioner was in there.... that was the best thing!! once my curls grow back it'll come into effect ;)

well i love hearing from you and i love getting your letters. i hope all is going well..... Bob liking boys, gobbles giving fifi treats, biggins eating ice cream, and lenny talking to cats.... o yeah and taylor and savannah being married and doing married things........... so thats sweet...

 

LOVE,
