That's super cool about church! It must have been super cool to see all that stuff and to watch the farewells. I wish I could have gone but that's ok. I still feel bad about my farewell because it kinda sucked. One thing I learned in the CCM was how to write talks though so yeah! I haven't had the opportunity to speak yet in church but I feel like it's coming... We'll see. I'm going to be so nervous when it comes but it'll be alright. As a missionary you actually have to memorize Doc and Cov 4 - at least here you do so that's pretty cool!
I'm way excited for General conference! I can't wait! Is Dad singing in the Sunday afternoon session? I'm going to be looking but it's alright if I don't see anyone. :) It's still super cool. Sounds like you've been super busy with your stuff you have going on... Good luck this week! Don't get too stressed out! Do the boys soccer as much as I did? What kinda things are they getting into?
Well this last week was a whole lot better. Things have calmed down. There are still issues but as a district we are all pretty much family. Elder Creasy and I hung out all last night because he's pretty sick and can't work but we pull emergency exchanges all the time. We are all basically family though! It's actually really cool and fun! I have learned a whole lot from these experiences. It's crazy how much you can learn in even a week that it would have taken so long otherwise to learn. Every week I work on a different Christlike attribute in PMG and every week it's so hard but I learn something cool and different that I didn't know before. It's just so much fun to be out here. :)
That sounds awesome with the garden stuff! Man I miss how autumn is like in Utah. Things are the same here year round so it's not so fun but that's ok. The feeling is in the air for sure that summer's over.
This last week just felt weird. Everyone felt it. It was just goofy. Not bad or good or anything but yeah. We found an awesome family kinda thing. They just moved into our area. The mom is an active member but her kids aren't but one is super interested and curious. Golden situation basically. We haven't actually met the kid yet but we will tomorrow. It's been way hard to teach and work this past week though with Elder Creasy. I went out into his area with his companion a couple times to help them out and that's actually a lot of what we have been doing. Helping out other elders.
I haven't seen Aunt Louisa... Hopefully before I leave! Transfers are in 2 weeks. I'm 85 percent sure that I'm staying though so that's good. I like it here a lot!
Thanks for everything! I love you!
So with staying in with Elder Creasy, they live in the same complex as another companionship. They're English and one of them is from Micronesia. He's basically one of my favorite people in the world. He's about a transfer older than me so yeah but he's so cool! Last night we didn't really have any food for dinner because I was with him in his appt but they brought us some leftovers from their dinner they had with a Tongan family. Now I haven't eaten like red meat or anything like that since I've been out here so we both went crazy and ate like pigs. It was actually pretty funny but there came a point where we both were feeling kinda weird. It's been so long that we were pretty sure our bodies were just going to reject the food. But yeah. :) Elder Creasy is so cool though! One of the elders for sure I want to be companions with. He's way nice and fun and stuff and super cool.
We met this returned missionary from South Carolina the other day which was pretty cool. We were just knocking doors and he answered and invited us in and just talked with us for a while. he gave us some awesome reference papers and we made copies and yeah! that was pretty fun to see someone like that. he's been off for like 12 years and still single but yeah it was super fun!
My Spanish is coming along. People here are way nice. They keep encouraging me and helping me feel better about it so that's really good. Hopefully it will get to the point where I will finally be comfortable in it. I think I just need to talk in it more... Maybe.
Guess what? Remember what I used to do when I was younger? I slept walked! Guess what apparently I'm starting to do again! I didn't know about this but I guess I do talk in my sleep too which is interesting hearing what I say in my sleep when I wake up Elder Petersen but the other night he said I got out of bed, walked over to his bed which is by the closet so he thought I was just going to the closet or something then I turned and started walking towards him. He was so scared. :) He said he doesn't get scared too often but he was terrified. Then I turned and knelt down and said a prayer and then got up and went back into my bed. So yeah interesting stuff with that! He said if I slept walked again he's going to all out punch me though.
Anyway that's from this last week! I'll talk to you guys later! Have a good week!
Love you!
