hi dad!
how was colorado and stuff? im sure it was awesome. I can't remember, did you get to play over there? ya i got to google earth singapore in the mtc and its pretty neat. when you said selangore i thought you just horribly misspelled singapore haha, but i guess thats the state i'm in haha. well thats good to know theres finally rain in california, that was kinda rediculous for a while. Very good that bathroom needed to be remodeled haha. well i hope the election goes smoothly i cant do anything but pray. i wish i could be there to lend a hand as well.
But yes i have been trying really hard to write in my journal and its been hard this week since we have been so busy.I dont really understand how you say the elders at home are kinda slackers. Thats so weird. my companion and i are in a place where we might be lucky to see a member once a week besides sunday, and thats probably because we invited them to come teach with us and yet we are seemingly always busy.
It seems like a place like california that has quite alot of members, even if you wanted to slack, you couldn't because the members would know if you were. thats seems like it would be incintive to work, if your own selfworth and integrity aren't. I don't mean to come off like i'm a great missionary, because i know i am by no means a great teacher. But i know this is two years that belong to the lord. I want to look back with no regrets. THAT is my aim and my goal. i love the lord and want to serve him with all my heart. like i said though, i am not a great teacher by anymeans, but i have faith that if i study when i am supposed to and work hard all day (like were supposed to) the lord can make up the difference. this is a wonderful place and the people here are soo awesome.
Thus far i think my favorite people are the nepale people. They are so humble, kind, and generous. o ya! this sunday will be our first baptism! with a sri lankan man named ashankar. Very sweet ,man. You can tell he is ready. on his right hand he only has a thumb and half of an index finger and he still shakes your hand like nothings different, i think thats part of why i like him so much haha. also its considered very bad manners and insulting to shake with the left hand here, as per indian people bathroom heigene haha. but anyways, i better get responding to moms letter as well, ok dad thanks for writing me!
love you!
