2nd Week In...

October 18, 2016

Dear friends and family,

I am loving it here in the MTC! The spirit is so strong and I learn more every day! We had a "transfer" last week and I got a new companion and district! My new district is just awesome, and my new companion Elder Brown, from Arizona, is hilarious! He is also going to Kenya! AND I GET TO GO TO THE TEMPLE ON THURSDAY!!!

My short stay in the MTC is almost up! I get on a plane for Kenya NEXT TUESDAY!!! Unfortunately, this will be my last P-day for the next couple of weeks, so you wont be hearing from me for a while... I’ll fill you in ahead of time though, "KENYA IS SO AWESOME I LOVE IT HERE!" also... the internet here is too slow to send pictures... so... sorry... Also I  still haven’t met Conner’s friend yet?! I hope I get to meet her soon...

That’s really exciting for Seth and Lexi and Jeff! tell them I’m really happy for them!!! I still haven’t heard from Conner and Ethan... -_- so you butts better write me soon! AND when we were watching some MTC Provo devotional this week, I saw Jakson singing in the choir and I saw a really cool Austrailian kid that was in my seminary class named Callumn in the choir! It was funny. Also, being on a mission is so weird because suddenly the Mo Tab is better than Fleet Foxes, The Restoration is the best movie I’ve ever seen, and watching The District leaves me on a bigger cliff hanger than The Office, or Stranger Things things ever did for me?! SO WEIRD... you also need to tell Alex Bell that everyone here hangs SO loose because that is the literal way people greet each other HAHA...

The food here is pretty good! It’s all American (minus having paap once) because the white mission presidents couldn't handle the African food... There are rumors that they even fired the last cooks because of it... I do have some big news though... This past week I have been pondering exact obedience, and realized it was wrong of me to lie to you... a couple of days in I talked to the president about the whole vegetarian thing and he told me to either stop being vegetarian, or be sent home... what an ultimatum... but I haven't had any problems adjusting to this new lifestyle (besides being unhappy about it..) but the most important thing here is being obedient, even if that gives the thousands of people that said I would eventually break, bragging rights... haha... THIS IS NOT A JOKE.

Anyway, I’m almost out of time here, but I love and miss all of you!

P.S. Isn’t it crazy that I pretty much only have 101/104 more times to email you?! WHAAA?! Time is flying by! Also, I might call you guys from the airport... the time difference is pretty crazy though... so I’m still deciding.

P.P.S. have you ever thought about if we were to be standing right next to each other, right now, one of us would be upside down?... It’s been on my mind all week...
