Hey
Guys!!
Time is really flying now. It felt like it took forever to get to the
first p-day, but not so much now.
It feels like we've been here forever, but if you look at it in the span
of our whole mission we haven't even scratched the surface. Lol! I have a pretty funny story. On Tuesday night I woke up to someone
banging on our window from the outside.
There were two elders in our district who had received their visas and I
knew they were going to the Dominican Republic MTC that night so I thought that
was them just saying goodbye. The
banging continued. They would bang
for awhile and then stop just long enough for me to fall back asleep then they
would start back up again. I was
very comfortable in my bed and in my half asleep mind I thought it might be a
cereal killer and I didn't really feel like dying that night so I just stayed
in bed. The banging eventually stopped and I fell back asleep. In the morning I found out who was
banging on the window. It was our
roommate Elder Hall. He was sleep
walking! He said in his dream he
thought he was hunting so we was walking around the MTC in his G's. He woke up under a tree far from our
room. He didn't have a key to get
back inside so he tried to wake us up by banging on the window. No one got up and he was outside for
awhile till a security guard found him and let him in. We all thought it was Super funny, him
not so much. Now he sleeps with
his key just incase it happens again.
General
Conference was awesome! We all
watched it in the gym. They have
bleachers they pull out from the wall and they set up some chairs. I hate those bleachers!! The chairs are uncomfortable to and
they make your butt hurt so bad!! Es no bueno!! I don't think I’ve ever been so excited for conference before. It’s completely different watching
conference as a missionary then before.
I stayed awake for the entire thing and even took notes on every single
talk. It was really cool.
On
Tuesday we had a devotional and the General Relief Society President came and
talked to us. She was talking
about how great it is to have a living prophet and apostles today. Then she said that she has known
President Monson for a long time and that she has never seen him lean onto the
podium like he did. She then said
"I think that was Heavenly Father’s way of telling us do we appreciate
what we have?" I thought that was really interesting. We are truly blessed to be born in this
time with a living prophet. I
think we are kind of spoiled, in a sense, and we've become used to the fact the
we have a prophet, but I think Heavenly Father did that to humble us and give
us a bit of a reality check. We are incredibly blessed to have a prophet and
apostles that speak directly to God and Jesus. Without them that line is cut and
we would drift into spiritual anarchy.
The
language is coming along nicely. The whole district is pretty much on the same
level and we all help each other out so its really nice and a lot less
stressful. The food isn’t too bad
but you can defiantly tell its cafeteria food. They pretty much have something different everyday and they
have multiple options you can chose from so there is always at least one thing
I would eat. Everyone is always
complaining that the food gives them the runs, but I haven't had any problems.
We
went to the temple again today and I didn’t get lost this time! We got breakfast there, we got breakfast
there last time too I just forgot to write about it. I've been writing in my journal everyday. The entries started out nice and long
but now they are starting to get smaller and smaller as the days become more
and more alike but I’m still going to keep writing.
An
elder in out District, Elder Presswitch, has some crazy talents on the piano. He
learned to play a couple of years ago by himself but he can’t read music, but
he doesn’t need to. He can figure
out how to play any song just from the tune of it. We would name a random song
and within a minute or two he can play the entire song. Its incredible!! He made this remixed for Come thou
fount, and its sweet! What MTC is
Austin Miller going to? I’ve been
hearing a lot about Salta and pretty much everyone says it’s hot. So I have that to look forward to. Me and the heat don't really go
together, but I’ll find a way to make it work! No one said a mission was going to be easy. I got the card
reader and I’m trying to upload pictures but these computers are retarded - sometimes
they work and sometimes don’t. its very frustrating! But I love you guys and
ill talk to you soon! kiss my puppies for me!!
Love,
Elder
Moore!!
