Dear Mom,
Before I start, guess what, I found Star Fruit, Dragon fruit, and Guanabana at a market in Odessa! I am super excited! I got the package and my companions are enjoying it more than me haha Elder Moschetti loves Twix and Elder Lund loves Cheetos :) Tell Bryn and Brie that I am so proud of them! They should really take soccer seriously for when I come back and school them (I have been training with Mexicans.) I miss Luna so much! I am definitely going to give her a lot of attention when I get back! I noticed that 3 things distract me a lot when I am out here. 1. Cute puppies, 2.adorable 2 year old children and 3. Cute girls... But I can control myself with the third one rather well. Not so much for the first two. I never thought the rule where you can't hold children wasn't going to be a temptation but they are so darn CUTE! Especially mexican babies! Grandpa needs to send me a picture of the Elk he got in Deseret!
Tell Brigham that I am proud of him and hope he gets fluent in Thai pretty soon! I know that that language will bless him after the mission if he truly applies himself. That is so sad to hear about the Laytons! I will keep them in my prayers. My week was great, I was just crowned as the Finding King by the zone because I went on a couple of exchanges and everyone's minds were blown by my ability to socialize really quick with people and teach them gospel principles in non-awkward ways so that was a morale booster. We went and did service at a member's farm where they have every single bird you can think of (Ducks, Chickens, Geese, Turkeys, Pigeons, Guineafowl, and Doves.) That was some fun service, Elder Lund and I started calling the turkey over and it came over to us and when the moment reached it's peak of bond between animal and human between the bird and Elder Lund, it randomly bit his finger and booked it the opposite direction! Hilarious!
Then We waited 2 hours on an oil-change which wasn't fun at all, so we were just in the waiting room while an hour program about Medical Marijuana was on haha. We attended a baptism that was super spiritual, he came out of the water bawling and crying, it was awesome how happy he was to have what happened to him happen. We also keep helping the Asian neighbor with her computer and that isn't fun at all. I also met a guy from Mozambique, so we talked for quite a while yesterday at church.
My favorite moment was the Baptism, Funniest was the turkey, Aha was when I realized that the Jordan River in Utah is named the Jordan river because just like the Jordan River in Israel flows from the Freshwater Sea of Galilee and ends in the Salty Dead Sea, The Jordan river in Utah flows from Freshwater Utah Lake to the saltwater Great Salt Lake! Teaching moment was contacting about families and talking about the Family Proclamation. Most grateful for my family. I just do normal stuff and basketball on Preparation day honestly.
I love you guys so much and I hope you have a great week!
