Sorry for not answering questions but
i didnt have time, but my MTC president was awesome. very strict on obedience
but hes awesome and Sister ashton was so blunt. to the large funny kid she said
that the gym was going to be his best friend for the next 2 years in front of
everyone we all died laughing but he got a little offended. the kitchen looks
amazing and it makes our house actually look new. so cool I love the halloween
costume hahahaha and tell jamo not to ruin that truck!! so many good memories in
that baby, i bet dad is jealous. (Jameson bought Jake Stephenson’s truck)
So sad you sold my car but thats good
it was for that family. i miss home so much but i dont like to think about it
cause it makes me tired when i think about it.
These past 2 weeks were crazy! so
many changes and to start i got sick in the MTC. it was not fun at all and i
missed a lot of important stuff but i got all informed of everything and all
worked out. said goodbye to the best MTC group every. i got to know all 30 kids
super well and i miss them already. i cut my own hair and i should send a
picture home but im not going to tell you how well it went hahaha. it looks
pretty good just soooooo short .
I got to the mission home and
President and Sister Merrill are amazing! they act as parents and its was so
nice having a civilized conversation to someone older cause i was in the MTC
forever but they’re awesome! I stayed the night and got informed of a lot of
stuff. In the MTC i lost probably 20 pounds cause i was sick and ive turned a
lot of muscle into fat. its rough and i always feel weak but im starting to
work out every morning.
The mission field is awesome!!!! its
so nice to finally teach real people and experience the culture. the
segregation between the Whites and Blacks is crazy here. One town you have a
township and the other its condos on the beach. oh btw im in Summerset West
which is right next to the ocean and its gorgeous!! soooo pretty. The weather
is just like California with humidity. Some days cans be so hot but others can
be freezing. So glad i can be in a first world and third world country at the
same time. First day i was here i ate a chicken leg and they’re actually
good!!! now i have them like every other day cause they sell them in the
township for like 5 cents. Look op pictures of summerset west cape town south
africa it is awesome and you get a little taste of what its like.
I miss having food made for me when i
get home! so much like its a pain to cook and i go hungry all the time cause
they dont give us enough MSF but we get by. Not a lot of people feed us which
is a bummer cause dinner appointments are awesome. FEED THE MISSIONARIES it so
nice and make lots of food hahahaha we get fed lunch every sunday and maybe
once a week. I miss fruit and surprisingly i dont really miss my phone. i just
miss being able to communicate with someone right away.
I drive because my comp didnt ever
get his licenses and i dont know why. Here in cape town, they drive on the left
side and its was hard to adjust to but ive got it now.
My companion is Elder Fonua and hes
awesome. He trains me then heads home so hes a little lazy but i think ive
whipped him into shape. Hes from Hereman Utah and he is so funny. we get along
great
After getting out here, ive realized
there is so much i dont know hahaha but i study for like 3 hours a day to try
to catch up. i teach gospel doctrine which is good for me too.The scriptures
are awesome and i love reading them. I could read them for hours. but i still
dont know as much as I should. This week has been awesome and such a culture
shock, still getting use to it but i love it so much
