The elders in my room aka district are so sick!!!! My campanions name is elder marret, a little awkward and his jokes are a little homo but for the most part we gete along, hey the only thing i care about is if he'll let me pray with me, study with me, and laugh with me.. oh and most of all he juust lets me chill in my g's when we get back to the apartement!!! Score one for the big guy!!!! the other two elders are tight two although idk if ones gonna stay... Elder garner a running back from fremont high and i get along pretty well except for the fact that he's still pretty mad at us for knocking them out of the playoffs last year!!!! Up until that point the only thing i thought about when i thought about the playoffs is how we lost to syracuse and how much i hate them!!!! i never even considered how many teams we had done the same thing too luntil elder garner helped me see the other side of things... What a huge tender mercy, defintely glad to say i am a bingham football player and i am very blessed for that opportunity (even if half the campus secretely hates me for it... lol don't hate cause you aint!!!) hahha elder garners companion is my homeboy!!! Elder maluia!!!! hahahaha not tongan, samoan, but close enough!!!! Cool story, i promised a good friend elder bernard last week that i would look out for his cousin in here if i could, didn't know what mission he's going to or his name!!! turns out he was going in the same day as me, to the same mission and put in the same district!!! Holy freaking cow, if that ish doesn't blow your mind then you need to go and get some jesus (lol at brooke) Elder maluia and i are freakin tight, and although i hope elder garner decides to stay i'd be super pumped for elder maluia to become my companion and elder marret and i and elder maluia would serve in a tricompanionship!!!
So wednesday night i was killlin it in roll play, and then we had language study the next day... Dang, they don't really teach you here, because you don't understand what you teachers are saying because they rarely talk in english... to be honest with you, my teacher hermano peterson is supppppper anal about that rule... i didn't even hear him talk in english until thursday night!!!! anyway, after that first four hour class period of sitting there with my mouth open not understanding a word, i've picked up the language really really well!!! I've already picked up everythinng i forgot from taking spanish and i can even hold a conversation with the natives here already.... The gift is tongues is real, if you don't believe me ask yourself how a bunch of retarted 18 year old kids can pick up another language in such a short period of time!!!! Yea i know, its pretty dope. I'm pretty pumped about it... Thursday night i was called to serve as district leader over 3 other elders and 4 sisters... Pretty cool, were one of the only districts here to have both elders and sisters!!! That calling definitely gave me tons of confidence that this is where i'm supposed to be!!!!
Its kinda hard though, definitely a huge challenge to try and help garner find direction in what he's supposed to do!!! he says hes worthy and i know he has a desire to serve, he just feels like he's not ready and he needs to be somewhere else, luke 1:37 came to mind and i shared it with him "for with god nothing is impossible" and bore my testimony to him that god with provide... I also shared a few scriptures in 2nd nephi chapter two to him, don't remember what verse because the inspiration to read that with him definitely didn't come from me but basically it talked about how theres oppisites in everything and how god made mans bodys with evil in the flesh so that there would be an oppisite to our at one time perfect spirits!!! It then said that satan can dwell in that evil place in our flesh and have pull over us to make us as miserable as he is... Yea he was set on going home, but that scripture was a serious backhand to the face paired with a knee to the balls... He was set on gonig home but now its all up in the air, i have faith that if a mission is what he's supposed to be doing right now then the mission president and all who have some kind of influence over elder garner and most of all the spirit will manifest that truth to him and i do believe he'll accept it but well see...
I gave my first lesson in espanol... a little shaky because i didn't bring notes for the spanish side of things but i killed it when it comes to the doctrine... Teach, testify, commit!!!! I see you bro rascon, so grateful that i attended that mission prep class because i feel so much more prepared, and confident then almost all the other newbies because of it!!!!
Heres the part where i have to admit that my mom told me so, i definitely forgot a bunch of stuff... LAUGH OUT LOUD!!!! hahaha first of all i definitely need an alarm clock, also i would enjoy a bunch of envelopes and i kinda need some money put on my card... please do this quickly i am a helpless soul without you mom!!! also, i dig letters, like real letters, with your handwritting and possibly some food stains if your as fat and as sloppy as myself... A FAT christmas package with some Keke and cetos and lots of other goodies would be graciously accepted, as well as a cd player... what a dumb kid i am... i brought a speaker, i brought cds... and i didn't bring a cd player???? Who freaking does that???? i also feel like that other pair of shoes i've been asking about would be nice, sucks runnin around in snow wearing the pennyloafers... hahahahaha BWARD your a for real ese for that trey burke update, my homie keeping it live over there in the sojo!!!! LOL i think thats all, i will think about you in my prayers, and if any of you have the burning desire to send me something for christmas then i'd strongly recommend following the spirit and hookin an elder up fat with something thatll make me smile, aka pictures are dope, sweets are dope, and sexy paisley ties hold the most value on the mtc trade market, you already know i'm about to own up to my sweet willl jeans and wheel and deal some of my ties for some fresher, sexier, classier, and better ties cuz its like that!!!!
MERRRY CHRISTMAS YAll, i'll say whaddup to a general authority for you guys, or to three cuz we got three boss nasses coming down from the top... hopefully theres lots of food that doesn't suck because so far theres been a serious influx in crappy food.... Special S/O to the fords because that blanket is probably the best thing in the world, and special s/o to the bloxhams for hookin a brother up with some for real necessities that i was too stupid to bring... Ya'll are lifesavers!!! i'll ghet yall some ghetto pictures soon with my zones gang signs tossed up when i get my camera...
I love my family, i love my friends, i love my companions, i love my savior and i love this work... Keep it trill mis amigos!!!
as kesni that fat kid would say: Elda Hicks
oh ya i almost forgot, dear elder .com hook it up with some same day deliver, also scripture of the week, Luke 1:37!!! Read it, accept it, apply it!!!! Peace out ya'll
