hey do you think you could do me a favor?? i have a companion named elder Choi from korea. He is the first korean missionary to go to africa. He just finished a year at byu idaho and he has already served the mandiorty time in the korean army. he is an amazing kid, really funny, smart, and spiritual. But because he lives in korea he doesnt ever get any letters. Could the family send him a letter? Just use my address and put his name on it! thanks!

 

Lets see...

 

This week has been good. The time is starting to fly by. Not sure if that is good or bad. i am excited to go but feel like i have so much to learn. Most days include about 6 hours of class room instruction and another 6 hours of personal/ companion/ district study. We study about half french and half spiritual topics and sometimes we talk about managing stress or other things that missionaries might be struggling with. I love the teachers here and my district is really starting to bond. We are usually pretty productive when we have a teacher but when we dont some times it gets a little off topic.

 

Every day we have about an hour of gym time. My companion is trying to get baraque or in english stronger. So we either lift weights or go shoot hoops. Before you guys know it i will be in the NBA. I do get pretty soar though. Luckily there is unlimited chocolate milk at meals. Weirdly we eat at 630 and 11 and 4 so at dinner i am never hungry and at bed time i want food.  But ya win some and you loose some.

The district leaders in my district got called up to zone leader so i am now the new district leader. Following the rules personally isnt that hard but getting six guys crammed in a 12by 12 room to follow all the rules might be more interesting. but i am excited. This past week we had about 20 elders and sisters leave the zone and this wednesday we get 40 new french speaking elders and sisters. Wahooooo

 

Besides that the MTC isnt that exciting. I saw elder shanklin and elder woodfield. Also shout out to the Svedins for sending me Donuts :)

 

Love

elder NOel
