So this week was really cool. On Tuesday we had a devotional by
one of the Seventy, he talked about the differences of our church to other
churches. The thing that was cool though was that it felt like he was just
reading out of the Bible the entire time. He explained the reasoning of our belief
and others all through the Bible, it was a really good talk.
I've started running during our exercise time, it's good to feel
some pressure in the legs again. One of my roommates, Sawyer Chouro (Elder
Sawyer), wants me to get him in a bit more shape so I've been helping him with
his running. It's a bit of a fair trade though he helps me every night with my
pull ups, so I thought I could help him with his running. Also we had a cool
competition this week, who can catch a Peachie O' with their mouth from four
stories. Sawyer Chouro won but I dropped it for him so I feel a bit of
accomplishment. It had some after effects though. Sawyer’s inside lip was
bruised and the thing under your tongue well that swelled up. I mean it wasn't
too surprising something like that would happen, because everyone had marks on
their faces from missing their drops.
This week I had to get a flu shot. And while I was waiting in
line the two guys next to me were talking. One says to the other, "where
are you from?" The one right next to me replies, "Wyoming." To
this I jumped in and said, "no way I used to live in Wyoming!"
The Elder turns to me and both our minds blew up. The Elder was Elder
Briton Groesbeck. Yep one of my best friends from when I lived in Wyoming.
Luckily he recognized me, too. We got our shots and made plans to meet up again
later. We also ended up watching one of the sessions of conference next to each
other. He is going to Brazil and got here the same time as me. It's really cool
to have found another friend especially since Cuba Chouro leaves tomorrow. I'm
gonna miss him a lot but I know he's super excited to finally get to Japan. I
wouldn't doubt that one day we'll end up as companions.
So
that's about it for this week. I want to send some pictures but the computers
here are really secure so I haven't figured out how to do it yet. I know you
can, so maybe by next week I will have figured it out.
