MTC Arm Wrestling


Arm Wrestling Champ!


Hello Everyone,

Well what happened this week... Lots happened. Yesterday I found out that I ate donkey meat the other week. I saw two donkeys.

I’m kind of the undefeated champion of arm wrestling champ. I have 15 wins and my loss is under review cuz he was under the table pulling his other arm down and it was my 6th fight of the night. So say what you want I’m going to keep my title. 

Oh Ghana had blue skies it was awesome to see the blue.

The days are starting to click by faster and faster... exciting and scary. But I can’t wait to get to the field. Oh when I was reading a Gospel of Jesus Christ pamphlet in French and I under stood like 90% of what I was reading and the rest of it I could infer it was awesome. I got to go to the temple again this morning.

The Gas stations here are all full service its different ha-ha 

Well Love you all have a great week

 My mom will put up an arm wrestling video on my blog.

22 More Days in the MTC


Hello Friends and family,

Well I'm still alive. So the two weekers left today. Last time when the elders were leaving it was crazy and the elders in my room didn't sleep... but we stomped out any of those outbreaks so we could sleep :) I got a haircut.
So did the other elders in my district. It feels so nice to have shorter hair. So to go get hair cuts we had to go and walk to the barber shop and LEAVE THE MTC haha it was different. The barber I think gave us a discount for 15 cides and the exchange rate is 3.5-4 cides for​ 1 US dollar. So they were pretty good prices haha. And that's for our style of hair cut the African style is cheaper and most of the elders cut their hair themselves so its even cheaper... but they do it here... in our showers... and that just makes things grody. but its ok since they are leaving it will be cleaned and just the 6 members of the Amaron district will be at the MTC. 
Oh year Elder Fraser man... so he got bit by a something he's the one on the far right of me in the picture. His foot swoll up so bad and Elder Alexander and I combined got over 100 mosquito bites and he gets one bite and then has to have extra pills and then the doctor came and gave him a shot in his butt haha. Ouch. Oh Africa. We went to the temple and it was awesome. We got to eat cake on Valentines Day! Well I love you guys and hopefully you are being safe were you are love you
Love,
