Hey, first of let me tell you what happened today. (Well, my president said to tell this story with concern... but what the heck... lets have at it. )We went to the temple to do our first spanish session. Well when we were done we were told to stay inside and we didnt know why. but the overwelming number of missionaries and lack of chairs made us venture outside. right between the temple and the MTC there is a gas station. well i guess the body guard of the Presidents son. *if that makes sense* well he was at the gas station when someone targeted him and a few guys with fully automatic guns lit him up... either that or there was a car jacking and the body guard tried to stop it. Well lots of cops, - and the guy had been shot 3 times in the chest. he didn't die. (Now if this were Counter Strike - everyone knows a torso hit hurts you 60 damage and a stomach does about 35 to 50 depending on the spot. if my math adds up right i think he wont make it.) Just think if we werent in the house of the Lord, or weren't missionaries we could have ran into a problem. (I know he was trying to make light so we wouldn't worry. Just remember Taylor, we have turned you over to God, who loves you as much as we do, or more. And all we can do is trust He will do with you according to His plans. We will try not to worry, and wish the man the best.)
On the good side i understood a fair amount in spanish
I always room with latinos but the gringos vary, san antonio, utah, snowflake area AZ..
Things I enjoyed about the MTC: Grilled cheese. and the amount of the gospel you learn here. Things I would have done differently: Ya there are plenty of things i could have done diffrently. But don't live with regrets, they only hold you back! Any advice for new elder? ahhh just make it fun, the elders who can't have fun no one likes. so make sure they have fun but learn as well
a few things for this week. I think i have aknolowged dads emails. sorry for not mentionong them. i will get more time next week i hoope.. 30 min isnt enough.
First of all. we got busted for shooting paper footballs out the window. WE WERE GOING TO PICK THEM UP. Happy anaversity Mom and dad.. I didnt stiff you guys on an email. check my sent messages its probably there in disguise. (Picture from internet)recieved easter package .... no jerky though. just the most amazing eggs ever.
We went on splits this week i walked up a huge hill and about died. i was going to endure to the end but about 30 seconds after i said that i had to stop because the hill was so steep. just take the over pass in delta, and double the steepness of it.
we also had an airsoft war with a little nino next door,.... i shot my comp and he got a great welt. How did you get elder davis's parents email address. its a mystery. if you send packages send a picture of mary on it. they wont mess with her.. but i have recieved two so who knows...Other than that.. my REAL mission starts next week. i hope its better than the MTCUm... well shoot- till next week.
