Week 2 - 08/30/17 - Group Email

Once again another really slow week. Literally everyone in my zone is sick, I thought I may get lucky and not catch it but nope I was sick pretty much the whole week. So that part hasn't been fun. I'm still trying to get used to life in the MTC. I have gotten a lot closer with everyone in my district which has been fun! I had to say goodbye to my cousin Adam who left to Nashville Tennessee. That was sad but I know he's gonna kill it out there! 

It's funny, there is this one elder in my district elder Mossman who falls asleep all the time. He fell asleep a few times this week while eating lol. It's crazy how many kids from Olympus there are here. We were able to get a photo of most of us which was cool. l was able to finish 2 Nephi today in the Book of Mormon. It's been nice to actually study the Book of Mormon and take some time to understand it rather than just read it. 

This week I learned a lot of vocab, I finished the "basic core" vocab which is like 55 nouns, 60 verbs, 35 adjectives, and about 50 other random words. Me and my Doryo (comp) also memorized the missionary purpose in Japanese. First ones in the district to do it!  The devotionals have definitely been the highlight so far. We've had a few guys from the 70 come and speak no apostles yet but i'm crossing my fingers.

Probably the best part of each day is taking a break and playing some piano with a few elders in my district. One elder is really good at playing by ear so i can just tell him to play something and he can pretty well its crazy. Well it's been a pretty uneventful week so sorry about the less than exciting email. 

Love you all!
