sooooooooooo I am just LOVING this blazing sun;) but for reals, i truly never realized how much i truly loved snow and the cold until i felt this heat!!
Well, yes being a Trainer and District leader is a little stressfull, but nothing that is overpowering my thoughts or effecting my work. Just a lot to have on my plate at once:) one thing funny about being a district leader is that i had this meeting with president and all the other district leaders and everyone was like more than a year in their mission and i just felt liek such a young lad! everyone was asking me how much time i have in the mission and when i told them im in my 4th change they just were soo shocked ha president must have been crazy or something making me DL;) hahaha so my district is super chill, i am with:
Elder Hansen(came with him in the MTC)
Elder Sanz(from argentina and elder Hansen is traingin him too)
Hermana Tingey(from Logan,UT and have been with her since i got here)
Hermana Herrera(from California and she is a super sarcastic funny person haha)
and obviously last but not least my comp Elder Tomaz from Brazil, he just had his birthday last week and i threw a party for him with a member which was good for him. Its pretty hard with him because he is really struggling with adapting to the life of a missionary and is someone who relys on the approval of other people, like he keeps trying to check his facebook to see who is writing him messages and is just always thinking about his friends and what they would be doing ha. but other than that, its great!!! He is a super good teacher and is super sensitive and shows his love for the people really easily. And he has all these object lessons to teach the lessons which is cool!! but he is smart aswell, so he speaks english super good, spanish super good and obviously portuguese. we talk a lot in english so he can better his english. He comes from a family where his mom and sister are members but have been inactive for 4 years so he is pretty much the only member in his family. He is a gymnest and can do some crazy flips and gymnest stuff haha but he doesnt like to play soccer which is a little hard because i just love playing but its all good! not everyone is the same:)
This week we changes apartments to live with the other elders from our ward, and they are in my district so doing divisions will be sooo much easier ha. the new apartment is in the heart of the ghetto part of our ward called "Las Chubis" because the houses are all different colors like Chubis(M&Ms) Its better than living with the other elders that were pretty disobedient! haha
Wow you guys are just enjoying the cabin arent you! you guys may aswell live up there!!!!! hahaha i would love to see some pics of it all done:) Oh and how cool that brian and kinsie are moving back!!! It was soooo lame that they lived so far away! i didnt get the time i wanted to chill and hang with them before the mission but i guess it will just have to wait till afterwards haha hopefully they can find a house so i could maybe move in with them afterwards;) haha
How cool that you saw SCOOTER! so cool that he is married, weird to see these people that i knew when they were little frieds of brians getting married!! oh and Codys home! i give it 6 months till he is engaged;) gotta keep up that trend or no??;) haha
As always, i am doing absolutely FFANNNTASTTICCC!!! i trully love the mission, i love the people, i love the work, i love just everything about the mission. jYeah obviously there are hard times and its stressful but i am growing and finding out things about me that i LOVE!! i am becoming who i know i need to be.
THank you and I LOVE YOU!!:)
