Elder
McGary- From South Jordan Utah and went to Bingham High School.
Elder Crook- He is my companion and is from
Lyman Wyoming haha super small town I guess. He is going to Ventura as
well! We get along super great, he is way funny which has
helped so much being in the MTC. Love him to death!
Then there are three sister missionaries in my classroom in a trio companionship:
Sister Smith -From Ogden Utah and is going to San Fernando California.
Sister Groberg -From Spanish Fork Utah and is going to San Fernando California.
Sister
Capener- From Pleasant View Utah and is going to Ventura California as
well! She went to Weber High School so she knew Coach Eure haha.
All
of us Elders are in the same room and all the sisters are super cool so that's Good! And in the other District there are five more Elders and Sisters going to Ventura so 8 total in my Branch and 16 going on the
plane to Ventura!
Thursday-
Sucked soooo bad haha. All I wanted all day was a hug from mommy and I couldn't so since me and Garrett are in the same residence building (but
he's on the first floor and I'm on the third floor) anyways I went and just
like got a hug from him because otherwise I would've been screwed haha so
yeah I go talk to him every night, thank goodness he is here! We met our
Branch Presidency who are:
President Callister- Served in London England! He is awesome.
Brother
Hobson - He is a convert to the church! He also taught at West Point
academy and I told him about how I got a letter from them to wrestle and
he said he could hook me up. He is Awesome.
Brother Eddington- Served in the Pacific Northwest Mission. He is Awesome and he was a wrestler!
I
also got collar rash and it was terrible but I'm good now haha oh, and
Elder Austin Carroll (from high school) was in my zone! He left to Washington D.C yesterday though.
Friday- So my classroom teachers are
Brother
Lim- He is always happy like always even when he is mad hahaha... he teaches some good stuff!
Brother Holmquist- He is super funny haha and a really good teacher! and me and Elder Crook teach him as a "Fake Investigator"
So,
yeah, we taught our first investigator (Bro Holmquist) playing as Carlos and we actually didn't do terrible haha but we still sucked. And
we found out who our TRC fake investigators would be and you'll never
guess who me and Elder Crook got assigned... Inna Findlay!! I couldn't
help but laugh hahaha.
Saturday- Me and Elder
Crook studied outside and ate chips and salsa it was seriously so
awesome haha but then we had to keep the salsa cold so to my surprise
Elder Crook had duct tape so we duct taped the salsa to the air vent on
the ceiling and it totally worked hahaha so awesome. Elder Crook and I
have the same sense of humor so we play off each others jokes and stuff
and just yeah we get along great. We taught Carlos again and we did so
much better than the first time so that's good. I got doughnuts from Sabrina but we were
fasting for Sister Maguire (a girl in my branch) because her mom passed
away on Friday and she is staying out which I could neverrrrr do so
nobody die unless you want me to come home. But yeah everyone keep her
in your prayers! Saturdays are cool since we have so much study time.
Oh
and we received our departure dates! Me and Elder Crook and all the
others going to Ventura leave on Monday the 24th!! Our flight is at
10:55 at SLC airport and we fly to Phoenix and have a layover till 1:50
then we get to Santa Barbara at 3:27pm!!
Sunday-
was super awesome. We had sacrament and priesthood meetings with our
branch and then that night we had a devotional where the "Nashville
Tribute" band came and played and it was totally awesome. Then we
watched a video about Characters of Christ and it was amazing, haha made
me want to become a totally better person. Then me and all the people I
knew talked all night since a bunch of them were leaving the next day!
Monday-
So we taught Inna on Monday and she destroyed me and Elder Crook with
questions hahaha so embarrassing.... but it was good for us haha. In
the classroom we had a sub teacher because Brother Holmquist went out of town
and the teacher was Sister Hafen she is usually a French teacher and
served a mission in Paris France... So.... Cool..... she is by far the
best teacher I have ever had in my life in any subject haha. She is going
to BYU right now and isn't married or anything sooooo tell Nick or Nate
or something;) jk haha cause I'm pretty sure if you did Elder Call who is
basically in love with her would kill him hahaha and also because Nick and Nate are already gonna get married while I'm gone... Lame. Anyways she
was super cool. Me and Elder Crook taught Sister Hafen as fake
investigator Joanna and it was by far our best lessons, the spirit was so
strong and just went totally great.
Tuesday-
Was awesome but I totally was dying for a P-Day so yeah a little long
haha anyways not much happened other then we taught Sister Hafen again
and it went really good and me and the other Elders in my class had like
arm wrestling contests and I totally beat everybody even though I'm the smallest one haha so basically I'm jacked;) jk... but also I did the most
pull ups so maybe I'm not kidding... but then we did stuff with our legs
and I got wrecked hahaha so yeah oh well. Oh and my brand new suit pants
ripped........................ so I took them to the seamstress and got
them fixed. :) Anyways now today is Wednesday my P-day!! It's been so
crazy to see how every trial I have God gives me a tool I can choose to
use to help me through it. Super cool.
