Elder Davis with 7 other Mountain View High School boys currently at the CCM
~Thanks to Megan Montierth who sent this beauty over to me.
Well I am more than half way done with the MTC and almost 3 percent done with my mission! I'll do my best to remember all the things I wanted to talk about!
This week it didn't rain as much as usual! One of the nights it was sprinkling and my companion and I both saw lightning that was straight up green! It's foggy most morning's here and in the 50s so its amazing! Most gym days we play basketball and the first couple days I was terrible, but now everyone thinks I'm the best even though I still am terrible. I just sit under the hoop and wait for someone to pass me the ball. We have a lot of pork, beef, and chicken here. The food is surprisingly decent. I love the burger and curly fry days! Also every Tuesday we get new Elders and that night is Costco pizza! My comp and I have to talk to all the elders in our zone since we are zone leaders. it can be pretty stressful when there are lots of struggling elders. But I'm working hard to help them all. On p day last week we went to the temple and it was amazing! Its a beautiful temple! We are also going to the temple this week! We get randomly assigned by the president to go to the temple. and the temple is a 6 hour thing so most of our p day is used with that but its alright! On p days when we don't have the temple we have like 8 hours to clean our house, email, sleep, and play sports! I feel like the days are long but the weeks fly by! Last week idk why but I put my watch in my pocket and I accidentally sat on it and shattered the face... I broke the glass out and continued to use it because it still worked but soon enough all the hands fell off except the hour hand... I think I'm gunna use a different one lol.
So there's a store here and they sell all sorts of random stuff. I found a sweet paisley and striped tie! It's kinda orangeish corral. I bought it because it cost 45 pesos which is only like 2 dollars and 50 cents! All the deal in there are amazing! I get all sorts of stuff at la tienda like candy and ice cream and laundry detergent!
The mosquitoes here are kinda bad so I spend the last 10 min before bed searching the whole room to make sure there are no survivors. I've only been bit like 10 times while I've been here.
We watched the amazing church movie on John Tanner and everyone could feel the spirit. That was one of my favorite things to watch! I recommend you all watch it!
Something that has surprised me is that I love doing my laundry! I look forward to it every week! It's fun and I feel like I can do things on my own! I guess I feel self sufficient and that's what i like! I had around 9 friends just from mountain view here! We all got together and got a picture but sadly I don't have that picture yet or any pictures for that matter but when i do I'll be sure to send them out!
The funniest thing happened while we were talking to an elder on a bench,. We were just talking when a bird pooped on my companions shoulder! It was one of the nastiest poops ever! I'm pretty sure it was from a pterodactyl. No idea how to spell it... our Spanish has been getting better each week and a couple of days ago my companion and I gave one of our best lessons! We gave the lesson on Gods love for us! We have made our investigators cry in a couple lessons and you can feel the Spirit. I got my hair cut about 45 min ago and they did a surprisingly good job. It's a little short but that's ok! One thing that I've loved doing is every night after we get home me and my companion and 1 more companion work out. We do crunches, push ups, calf raises, planks, wall sits, dips, and one more thing I can't remember. I was pretty sore the first few days but now I look forward to working out each night!
It's the most awkward thing when you forget your name tag... everyone asks what's your name and stuff just to make you feel stupid haha. Well anyways I think that's all I have to say. I just want to let you know that this gospel is amazing and the Holy Ghost is amazing and helps me everyday while I've been here. Keep your standards high and work hard! I love you all and I'll see you in a short two!
Please email me! I love to hear what's going on at home!
