So week one is done, and now the days are FLYING!!! Travis was totally right... or should i say Elder Beach. Days go by like weeks and weeks go by like days. Being District Leader is really fun, but its totally hard haha. trying to keep everyone inline, including me is hard, but i know that i can dew it haha. My companion is pretty hard to work with still. We are going to a TE class to help him, so i have to cut back on my learning to help him, but i guess that is more importante. Everyday our two teachers take me out of the class and ask how he is doing that day, and he is improving, but slowly. My teachers say that it is a good thing that i am his companion, bcuz i am learning very fast, so i have lots of time to help him. He is starting to get on peoples nervous though because he always wants to sleep in and he sets the alarm for 7:30, but i am sneaky sneaky and set mine for 6:15 so he gets up then if he likes it or not haha. There was one time where he wasn't getting up, so i pulled a trick that dad would always do to me. I said "okay elder hutton, you have 30 seconds to get up, or im gunna fill up a cup full of water..." of course he didnt believe me until I had a cup of ice cold water right infront of his face. So that got him up, but he didnt like me that day. but esta bien haha.
I got the pumpkin bread mom, it was mucho tastyo haha. once i open it i started jumping up and down yelling that i have fresh bread. so you should send me more packages ;) hahaha. I have seen Dylan 2 times now, and both times i was wearing my laker clothes and he would always say "NICE SHIRT!!" and then we would make fun of the Jazz fans in the gym haha. stoopid jazz fans. :) Also i see Elder Johnson all the time, its pretty funny, he is almost like fluent in spanish, and he is forgeting english words. So i have to fill in the words for him. Like one time he forgot to say Savior, i started busting up hahaha it was soo funny. OH i say Elder Stanfill (brian) i was eating breakfast and someone tapped me on the shoulder and i turned around and it was him. i just screamed YEAHHHH BOYYYY!!!!! haha and we hugged and stuff. but we dont cry, we are manly. haha just kidding, i have cried so many times since ive been here, like everyday i cry atleast once, not because i miss home (but i do miss home) but its bcuz the spirit is soo strong all i can do is cry haha. i sound like a baby! what is this!? like this one time i think it was wednesday, we had some extra MDT time so i hoped on lds.org and watched this little 4 min video of President Hinkley telling a story of 2 young boys walking down the road... for sakes of time i cant write it out, but if you go on LDS.org scroll down its called "lessons i learned as a boy" i watched that, and at the end i was no joke... crying so hard haha. i can notice the spirit soo easily now its awesome.
Dad i have some advice for you in the Mission prep class, when you recite D&C 4 and our purpose, recite the first vision. i think its on page 37. we have to recite those 3 everyday, and everyone was amazed that i had 2/3 memorized hahaha. Also, roleplay, roleplay, roleplay. It seems thats all i do now hahaha. oh i have a funny storry about roleplay, so me and my companion went to a "investegator" and we had to teach them the first lesson for 45 mins. it was crazy. so i started it out and i was talking about our we have a god up in heaven and how we are his children and he loves her. and right after that my companion jumped right into the book of mormon.. i was like NOOO what are you doing. haha so the whole time i was trying to bring back the lesson on track, but he kept going off on how he worked at disneyland and how he wants to be a pilot. so after like 40 mins we ended it, we got her to come to church the next sunday, and to read the bom and pray about it. but when we walked out, i just gave him a hug and said "oh elder hutton i love ya" haha. i wasnt even mad which was weird, but awesome at the same time hahaha.
OH lina... i am getting pretty amazing at volleyball, i can spike the CRAP out of the ball and i learned how to jump and serve it. we play king of the court which means there are 4 lines and if you win you stay on and if you lose you go back in line to play again, and me and this other guy that played volleyball in Highschool were ripping it up!!! we didnt lose for like 30 mins hahah it was awesome. well time is about to expire haha. oh and brittany, my whole district saw our picture in hawaii and they are all inlove with you and basically want to marry your haha. and they thought that lina was like 18 hahahaha. well okay i gotta go now, good thing i type fast :DDD
