Meeting an old friend at the MTC


6 October 2013

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.
