Mom and Family!!
Wow! Ya, this week went by way fast I can’t even remember what really happened. I got my flip-flops. Thank you very much. I had to borrow flip-flops from one of the guys in my district after he would finish showering because there was no way that I was going to stand in those showers bare foot. They are way gross!! It’s like everyone thinks its ok to just manscape in a community shower. Not ok! I haven’t heard anything about my flights. We'll get our flight plans two weeks before we leave and, yes, I get to call you at the airport as much as I want or have time. So, I’m hoping for a long lay over.
Preston got here yesterday and I was so excited. I saw him in the lunch room and talked to him for about ten minutes. He seemed very excited to be here and then I found out that he is staying the same building I am. I can go visit him every night if I want until he leaves. I went and helped him unpack and he told me that you guys texted him the other night before he left. He said he loves you guys. He was also rocking a nice comb over. I am too:)
It sounds like dingle was a blast and a lot of people went up this year, even Sonnet! When you were talking about all the food and the fish you ate in dingle it made me so hungry for some real food and not this frozen preserved food that I eat every day. It’s really not that bad anymore. My body is finally getting used to it but, I still miss home cooking that’s for sure. It will be fun for you to go help Whitney move and get to see the sex of the baby. It will be weird that I won’t get to see the baby until it’s a year and a half old.
This week is hard to write about because it went by so fast and I don’t really remember what happened because I was studying so hard. One thing that happened is one of the elders in my district, had knee surgery and was sent home for three months. It would be so hard to be here and then leave and have to come back three months later but I think it might have been a blessing to our district that he was sent home. He was really loud and liked the attention on him so it was almost impossible to study sometimes. He was only 18 so I can understand why he was a little immature but he was way funny and we had some great experiences with him in our district. It was a bitter sweet goodbye.
This week we also taught Juan and he asked if he should serve a mission but we didn't give him a very good answer because we could hardly understand him. He talks so fast. So, last night we talked to him again about missions and I think it went really well because he prayed about it right in front of us so that was pretty good. This week my companion hasn't received a letter from his girlfriend so he's been a little depressed. Hopefully he gets a letter from her today. He's funny. He only writes her and he'll write five of six pages to her every week. His whole P-day is dedicated to her and an email to his mom. I love him though. He makes me laugh. In gym, I play basketball and on Tuesdays we work out because gym is at 6:00 and we don’t want to play basketball that early. We do pushups and stretch every morning too which is good because I am so stiff from my rock hard bed. I’m not used to hard beds. I’m used to really great beds with memory foam pillow tops on them:) I’ve been spoiled haha.
I guess the mail is closing next week? Do you know anything about that? So send me everything that you want as fast as you can so I will receive it before the mail room closes. I’m running low on M&M’s and I ate all my apples and oranges. The jerky is a great treat too:) Oh, chips and salsa is something you could send me if you want to send me anything.
Sorry this email doesn't talk about anything spiritual really, even though this week has been really spiritual for me! There was just too much to write about so I just didn't haha. My Spanish is definitely improving and I love the scriptures.
I love you guys so much and pray for you constantly!!!!
Love
Elder Mouritsen
