Hello!!!
SO to start off, i had an amazing birthday - thanks to all of you! Thank you so much for sending me all of that stuff! Not going to lie, i felt really cool! It was one of my teacher's birthdays the day before mine so we celebrated together and it was awesome! My class sang to me in Chinese, happy birthday! It was really cool! Then we all went outside and had cupcakes! Later that night, it was party time! And when we got back to the rooms, we broke out the candy and ran around the whole floor making the guys day with candy and treats! I am officially very loved now in my building!! Thank you all, awesome birthday!
Next, i taught in Chinese the first lesson! It is so weird because i feel like i have only been here like a week, it is amazing how fast time goes by here! I was really surprised how easy it actually was. I was expecting it to be brutal but i actully got through it! Now did i dominate? That is questionable, however i did finish the lesson which i was very happy about. I have to do that again next week, but this time i want to go more in depth, sharing personal expierences, and this one really cool quote i found about the atonement that i want to memorize in Chinese! So, i am hoping that next week i will teach better!
Here is the funny story of the week.. so me and 2 of my roommates went up to the floor above us to take showers because all of the showers on our floor were full. As we finish our shower, we walk to our room, AND THE DOOR IS LOCKED! We were standing outside our room in towels and it was locked! We waited there for like ten minutes.... then we looked at the room number and realized that we were on the opposite side of the building! And that was not our room! You have to understand that everything looks the same in the MTC! But it was really funny and we have been laughing about that all week!
Also this week, all of the older missionarys left in my zone, which was really wierd at first!!! Now we only have like 15 kids in our sacrament meetings! My district was in charge of the sacrament and we gave a musical number in Chinese! That waas pretty cool! It is actually kinda nice to have all of the older missionarys gone! I am getting alot closer to all of the guys in my zone! There are some really funny kids in here! I am very blessed to have such a great zone! They are making my MTC expierence so much fun. I found out 3 other kids in my zone wrestled! I am sure you can see were this is going! We cleared out a room and started wrestling each other in the room! It was really funny and the next day was Sunday, and we were all covered in carpet burns! 2 of the elders had carpet burns on there foreheads! Everyone kept asking them, "what happened", it was so funny!
I say this every week, but i really do love it here! This is the best decision i have ever made in my whole life to serve a mission. I am finding myself so excited to go out and teach people this great message that all of us are so lucky to have! I have never realized that more. I love this church, and i know that every princible of it is true! I love all of you guys soo much, and thank you again for all of the packages, and letters! It is always so nice to hear from all of you! I hope that all is going well.
