Week 2 - MTC
Talofa! This week has gone by so fast. I actually love it here because we always have something to do and there's never a dull moment. Especially with my district and the other samoan district. We have only been around eachother for a week and 20 of us already feel like brothers. Everyone in both of the samoan districts are going to samoa Except elder Wallentine and Elder Sauder (australia) and I hope I get to see some of these elders out in the field.
<3 Elder Alofa
So I can say a basic prayer in samoan and ask "whats up" but thats pretty much it hahaha. O a mai oe?! atleast I didn't scrape the bottom of the bucket like Elder Read and say the F word while trying to say goodbye lolooollol.
Excercise time has been a party man. We play king of the court basketball and it gets pretty intense. I am getting to the point where I think I might come back and play college ball we'll see. The food is good here! I eat double portions every meal so hopefully I'll get some gainz before I leave for the Island.
My companion is so sweet. A couple days ago when we were showering we both started singing "sherry" by Franki Vali so loud haha it was awesome. I am not sure If this is allowed but we sing pretty much everywhere we go. If my Basketball career doesn't work out iv'e always got American Idol.
Elder Te'o is this Samoan dude from California and he is soo funny. During meal times we give him a beat and he freestyle raps over it its so awesome. Don't worry he keeps it clean.
I am so grateful to have this opportunity to serve our Heavenly Father and his children! honestly it is so refreshing to be doing what I am doing because it is pretty simple--I am preparing to invite others to come unto Christ and to find joy through the gospel. I know it is going to be hard and parts of it are going to suck probably but I know why I am out here and that is enough to help me through the hard times.
Even though I am having a ton of fun already, there is a time and place to have fun and a time and place to go to work. Remember that. You will never accomplish anything of worth without hard work.
I love you all! and send me a cute email I would love to hear from you guys.
