Mom & Dad
Things are going great here at the MTC. Elder Kemp and I are getting along well. We have a unity when we teach and we always feel positive when we use our study time wisely.
There was a fireside on Sunday where this man named Bro. Allen spoke about not doing stupid stuff on your missions. He used examples of things missionaries decided to do the week before: "hey! let's make bombs!", "hey! lets drive 130 km/hr!", " hey! wait over there Elder while I go... do naughty things I don't really want to talk about!" Yeah, apparently Elders make some really dumb moves sometimes. It was an awesome Fireside. Bro. Allen was all hellfire & damnation Isaiah-style. He called out an Elder & a Sister in the audience, pointed at them and condemned them for flirting! So entertaining!
Hey thanks for the package! That was hilarious. I gave Elders Darbro, Clark & Kemp a cup of Flarp each. soon enough the room sounded... well, not much different. Don't be deceived, they all turned into 10-year-olds in a blink of an eye. But the percentage of fart-noises probably only increased by a decimal point. The candy was a hit too. There's probably only a quarter of it left. And of course the cookies are gone. Meanwhile I weight the same. thanks for my retainer/Skousen talk/pictures/ hilarious enveloped television news as well! Much appreciated. I was amused by the letters from my cousins as well. I don't think they comprehend what I'm doing.
At the moment I am drinking a pina-colada flavored Sobe cuz coconut's a natural laxative and I have high hopes it will help me with some personal dilemmas.
I've got to teach my district a lesson about Humility today. I'm going to use the example of the conversion of Saul. It'll be fun.
I only have about 36 pictures on my camera so far. It'll be a little while 'til I send you that SD card. No time, y'know?
I've sent missionaries to several people across the country via the R.C. I thoroughly enjoy the diverse people I get to talk to. Especially the ones from the South. Elder Kemp talked to a guy for 45 minutes! I'm pretty sure that's a record. He taught some Indian man the 1st lesson.
Oh how I miss working in the yard. some people mowed the lawns here this morning and it smelled amazing.
So I had 10 spare minutes when I emailed today, so I take it back; email all you want! I've go time plus Elder Jensen discovered a printer in one of the rooms.
Still working hard. Still doing good.
I Love You!
Love,
Tyler
