So it has been a month? Crazy! These last latinos I felt like they just got here but they left already! Crazy sauce.
HAPPY
BIRTHDAY ALEX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So it's super great that I can email you

There it is! Sounds exciting no? Ok it really doesn't but its not that bad at all. I love it!
Ok
so I hear that Mom has been hugging McKay a lot in my behalf. McKay, I
expect all these hugs when I get back. Or just hug the computer for a
bit and I will do the same. It won't look odd at all.
So has Shawn and Jihyun moved to Japan yet? Just wondering.
I
heard about the BYU UTAH game! Sounds like a good game! It's funny how
insignificant it seems out here haha! Weird not watching it and being
the only one cheering for the Utes!
So last Saturday for proselyting it rained hard, and we
forgot an umbrella. Exciting huh? It was funny, we were like, should we
grab an umbrella? Naw... it'll be ok. How was proselyting? Wet. haha it
was good, we talking to more people this week but never got a gospel
message through, they were all like, no no no you are just boys, we
repent, you repent, God makes it rain, don't share your message.
Something weird like that! Haha kinda funny actually. But ya between the
rain and Siesta time we didn't have too many people to talk to. It's
all good! We will get a new area this week, and next week it's general
conference, so we get to watch that instead of proselyting! I am
actually pretty stoked for General Conference. It's gonna mean so much
more when I am not at home in PJ's eating food and throwing Hot Wheels
at each other! (Although that was quite fun)
So I tried cow tongue the other day. It was odd
thinking you were chewing on another tongue, but the sauce it was in was
gross. It was pretty nasty. I won´t try it again until I have to.
So are we related to a Wesley Knudsen that lives in Orem? He is
coming today and I was just wondering. We are all super excited for the
new Norteamericanos to come! We kinda got a list of their names and
where they r from and stuff. We also wrote advice and encouragement on
their boards and notes in their desks! Hope they like it.
So something very funny happen. Elder Miller was trying
to slurp his Flan like Jello and we made him laugh, and he spewed,
maybe projected, flan all over Elders Page and Worsham. Super funny! Oh
he got this poor unfortunate Latina Hermana walking behind at the wrong
moment. Pobrecita!
So I love Sundays. I think I have said this many times.
Everyone always takes a nice hour powernap in the middle of the day
that is alloted for personal prep, or in other words, nap time. I don't
nap, I never really have been able to. I just sit there and ponder on
life and the people my God has blessed me to be in it. It's rather
fantastic. I quite enjoy it.
Lauren, and whoever else this may portain to, look up a
2009 MTC talk by Elder Bednar on the Spirit. It's super good and I
think you will all love it, I just felt like it may be good for Lauren
in her convincing efforts, maybe thats just the dweeb little brother in
me. Most likely.
Funny story/joke in that talk, he tells a story of a
missionary who always kept a little pocket book of Mormon in his chest
pocket. One day a man tries to rob him at gunpoint. The gun discharges,
and the bullet starts into the Book of Mormon but stops at the Isaiah
chapters. Not even a bullet can make it through the Isaiah chapters.
HAHA! It was funny. Out of general conference, these guys are funny!
Well I think thats all from today. I really enjoy
emailing all my brothers individually too, just little paragraphs cuz I
have many emails to send sometimes. But I love hearing especially from
everyone individually! I wanna hear from everyone! Even you Kevin!
Love you all, you are all daughters and sons of the
Most High God and are destined to become such! I am blessed to have all
of you as a part of my adventure!
This is the older District that left this week.
Hermanas West, Drew, and others that I forgot their names already, in that order.
Elder Hansen, Smart, Ence, Oliver, Pederson. that order.
Elder
Hanson, on the left, we call superman. He looks like him right? He is a
legit semipro hockey player in Canada and is super crazy. I think he is
my hero. Super cool guy. He is super nice to everyone, but the last day
he was here we asked him how many fights he got in in hockey, he said 4
or 5. So jokingly we asked how many people he knocked out cold and he
was like, 1 or 2. Not joking at all. Haha it was hilarious! Super cool
guy, look him up, there was a news article on him.
These were my roomates for the 2nd 2 weeks, Elder Ibarra and Elder
Gomez. They were super cool and fun to talk to. Super good at futból!
