Week 3 - 09/06/17 - Group Email

3 weeks down already! This week was much better than the previous two. I am almost all better from being sick so thats a plus. Me and my comp taught a whole lesson by just asking and answering questions that our investigator had. It was hard but ended up being a good lesson! 

On friday we taught our first TRC lesson. It's basically like hometeaching. We teach a member who speaks Japanese, the kid we taught served in my same mission just last year! Most of the lesson we just stared at him while he commented on what were teaching not understanding much haha. 

Funny story, so ever since I can remember I have slept walk. Sunday and Monday night I did the exact same thing. I had a dream that I was in the wrong room or not where I was supposed to be then got scared and just booked it out into the hall. By the time I got out of my room I realised that I was dreaming but of course our doors lock so I got locked out both times haha. So I've had to outside quietly knocking hoping someone will let me in for a solid 5 minutes each night. Both times the same elder was nice enough to get off the top bunk and let me in lol

All of our daisenpai (kids who got here 6 weeks before us) left Monday morning. I was sad to say goodbye to a few of them. On Sunday we had fast and testimony meeting and they all gave really good testimonies, it was a spiritual meeting. At the end they all got up and sang "God be with you till we meet again" and it was so sad! Most of them were balling and we won't ever see each other again (most of us). 

Yesterday for the devotional Elder Oaks came and spoke to us! It was awesome to hear from a member of the 12. He spoke about the resurrection and how we need to gain a strong testimony of it. He also mentioned that we need to not take our setting apart as missionaries for granted which i liked alot!

Elder Mossman in my district (the one who sleeps all the time) everyday for breakfast gets 3 sodas and a bagel lol. His comp acts like his dad and tries to make him get food instead and they always argue it's hilarious

Today Colton bell arrived at the MTC! Me and Ethan hoj were lucky enough to host him which was fun. It was so good to see him! I had to say bye to my cousin Alex last night, Bittersweet for sure but I'm excited to hear about his mission in North Dakota. Well that's about it for this week. Hope everyone is doing well!
