Ya I think that is something I am really trying to get over is "just surviving" through this time. I did that for awhile when I was working at They Valley and it was Awful! I cant "just survive" through this time! This is the Lord's time, you don't just survive through it, you grow and learn how to become a great tool in the Lord's hand and learn a ton more other things that Bryson would probably know about! But Im really trying to put alot of effort in, Ive been trying to be the first one out of bed, cause the alrams go off and we all just lay there and turn them off then fall back asleep, ha its no good, so i have been getting up and try to get everyone going in the morning. Those 3am mornings for the valley i think really helped me. I think these high school guys are waiting for their mom to come in and drag their body to seminary...theirs no mommas here.
Well thanks Dad for the motivational stuff! i shared it with the Elders last night, the CU thought about thinking before acting and remembering who we are and what we represent, I think we all needed it, myself included. So we talked about changing and how to do it and i think it went well.
We had a fake lesson with a progressing investigator weve been teaching, its our teacher, but its still kinda cool because they act like someone they knew on their mission and we get to hear the story after we are done with them. But it went 55 min! she was like crying and everyhing, its only supposed to be 45, oops. But she wasnt reading or doing anything and was never interested so we had a heart to heart, ha. sounds lame but we learned alot through it, The gift of tongues is real, in my lessons sometimes words pop into my head and I can understand and speak what I want too...most the time It doesnt work that way...but sometimes. HA
Im learning Patience, I get so frustrated with people and my way nof coping with that is not saying anything and ignoring everything and it sorta helps, we had our accountability interview with our Branch this week and it was a little rough. And our new district leader interviewed us. weird. hes 18 so it's weird sometimes. Theirs nothing I hate more than someone calling me out on something that they always do. But im learning humility patience and all that other crap.
The Spirit here is really strong! I love most of the devotionals, some are like lullabys and put you to sleep but most are really good.
So the BYU game...AGGHHH!!! My companions and I were walking to dinner and we heard the band playing before the game, so I started running to the cafeteria...It was so PAINFUL. Luckily the game was postponed so the whole time the game was going on we were in class(all 3 hours) and its on the side closest to the mountain so I didnt hear anything...I wouldve died! Later tho my comp and I went to the other side of our building, (we are on the top floor of the tallest building) and we looked out some different windows and we could see the lights and could barely make out the jumbotron through the trees, thank goodness those trees were there, I wouldve been able to watch the replays on the jumbotron from where I was if there wasnt that tree there...NAO BOM!
I saw Tyler and he told me about the TBIRD game! Thats so awesome to hear!!! Im surprised Jake didnt get more playing time with a score like that! Thats AWESOME he got in tho, i remember my first time on the varsity field...you feel like youre playing in the Super Bowl and the whole world is watching!!! I'm getting chills just thinkin bout it. Thats cool he played a ton on JV! Jake! Be MEANER THAN A JUNK YARD DOG! Its hard but youve already had hurt your kneee and had some painful head problems...so youve already experienced the worst outcome and you survived! it doesnt hurt much worse than that when you throw your whole body into someone....actually. it feels pretty dang good!!!
Im so pumped for you Caleb! It's not the size of the dog in the fight, but the size of the fight in the dog that counts! Thats what I lived by and thats what i think of when i see you play sports, youve always been the fighter, ever since you were born! Miracle Baby! Ya its tough, but for me could already see where my friends were going so thats what helped me. But enjoy it while it lasts! Middle school ball is some fun stuff! Its a bunch of scrubs, lie me.
Keep workin at it Levi! ive lost to Black Hills by worse so dont worry! Just have fun! I wish thats one thing I wouldve tried to do more...HAVE FUN!!! You arent playing for a Super Bowl...yet!
Gerritt is gonna be an animal, keep working hard bud!
Bella is doing pre-school?!HA. Her teacher better watch out, shes gotta a challenger for whose in control of the class. Miss you Bells!
I mis Lex! I wanna email her and tell her when I go to the temple or when i go to the field for gym so I can wave...but thats not aloud!!! I just have this hope that maybe oneday when im crossing the street she will drive by or something. Ha. Livvy! vanna just told me youre posting on instagram al the time and that youre looking like a teen! what?! NO!!! ha. keep working at dance!
well my knee has been bothering me, especially after volleyball, so I hope it's alright. I just hope its like growing pains or something. ha. My comp says he thinks im taller! My legs are skinny! maybe thats cause i sit in a chair all day. IDK.
HAHA. thats funny about the bathroom. Well its good to hear some good ol urinal talk! Glad someone remembers us!
I will know by next friday whats happenin. Either I will get my visa or get reassigned to a diff mish until my visa comes.
Amo voces!
