Week 1

Dear friends and family
Holy crap what a week. First shout out to millie, so glad my phone is working fine for you:/

Heres what happened,

Day 1, met two elders and a sister and that was our entire district because the plane full of 8 other missionaries that was supposed to arrive got delayed again... So I became the district leader! We are all hanging, there is Elder Baiar who is white and a really cool guy, he's the brains. Then there is Elder Gatewood who is from hawaii and he is a genuine person, he really reaches out to people and helps them feel better. Then there is Sister Collins who is soooooo funny.  We are in a trio, while escorting a sister, so if one of us has to go somewhere all 4 have to go, kinda sucks. but its good. did prince die?!

Then on the third day we learned basic tagalog and how to pray and testify in it. " ama po namin sa langit, Nagpapasalamat po kami ebonghelyo. ama pangalan sa jesucristo amen. 

We met the father of the guy who played Napoleon Dynamite and he was telling us all about that. So our zone has a lot of elders from Kiribas, they are soooooo funny. They are the best people ever. English is their second langauge so they will be studying that.  Some girl hit on them and they said "can you please go away." so great!  We taught them to dab at the temple and we got some awesome pictures.

 Everything is going great here, I miss you all. my pdays are on Thursdays and I am in desperate need of a pair of jeans, and an mp3 player because both of my companions snore and I want to put a cactus in my eye every night. We already set up an appointment with an investigator because they just let guests visit here from BYU. Im praying it goes well.

 Here is a pic my companion snuck of me sleeping,

 This is my disctrict, and us with our branch president who can/t tell a good story to save his life I die when he tells us stories.
