So quick story. Right after we got here on Wednesday we had a huge meeting with all the new missionaries, there were about 400 of us. The MTC president stood up and starting asking all the missionaries from so and so to stand up. He went all around the world and it was crazy where some of the missionaries were from. He got to the states and started going through all the states. When he asked for all the missionaries from Idaho to stand up myself and about 8 other missionaries stood up. He then asked "Ok now if any of you have milked a cow in the past month please raise your hand." Me and 1 other missionary raised our hand. He then smiled and said "yes! those are the missionaries I want in my mission!!!" It was awesome, I needed to hear that too. I guess word got around that I was the cow milker because the next day they made me the district leader. I was a little overwhelmed at first but our district is pretty awesome so it doesn't take much on my part. Courtney beware, the bar is high! Plus they all love me now because I am in charge of getting all their mail!!!
My comp's name is Elder Eaquinto from California. We get along great. He is so much like Aaron it's crazy. I'm not even kidding. Just like him. Talks like him, acts like him, does the same things as him. So of course we get along great. He doesn't play basketball or any sports at all though. Gym time is awesome! Balling with these elders is so sweet, fun to show off a little too... just a little. ha. Elder Beutler has the same gym time as me!!! He hurt his ankle though so we haven't even got to play ball together. Kinda stinks. But he will be good to go soon. I play with a kid who played for Texas before coming and an elder who played some semi pro ball. It's sickilicious!
The food is great! I would get fat if I were here for a long time. I see Sister Brunsdale, (Aubrie's roommate) Elder Beutler, Elder Harrison (from grace) Elder McClelan (from Malad) And about 5 more that I recognize. It's nice. I see Jordan and Kait the most though. It's nice to have them to talk to!
Well my laundry is done so I gotta go get that. Ya'll have a great week! This place is incredible, I've learned so much this past week and have already begun to find out just what this is all about. My testimony grows daily and I am already itching to share it with the people. Words can't describe how much our savior loves us. Always remember that. Give Gunner some love for me. I love you family!!!!!!!!
