Tate Week 2 in the MTC

 Nyob Zoo kuv neeg!


This week was up and down fo sho. The way I will lay out the email from now on is going through the week then talk about companions and friends. So I met some people that all speak french and it's fun to talk to them and refresh my vocab. They are all going to Tahitia.  When I get back I will learn more french and I will learn chinese. It's nice because French people all know somewhat how to play chess. The chess tables are in the same area as ping pong. Also Hmong is coming along, but I haven't been working on vocab as much I should be. I keep losing my key to my dorm and my card for the buildings. I'm on my third key now. So i'm down 6 bucks. Also all the apostles have been here so that's lit. Elder Bednar gave an OP talk about obedience. He said Intelligence is applying the knowledge we have towards obedience. Then he explained the difference between transactional obedience and transformational obedience. 

Also DO NOT EAT THE MEATBALLS! Elder Winitana and I ate them and our stomachs hurt for like 3-5 hours. Then we played basketball. But seriously, I hadn't felt that much pain in a while. My stomach was on fire and the pain was also stabbing.

Update on Elder Winitana: He eats a lot, I bet him 2 dollars that he couldn't eat more than 8 plates of food. I lost 2 dollars. Elder Plate the big guy got a little jealous. Me and Winitana have been working on a song to perform too. He's pretty good at singing. Elder Plate said me and Winitana couldn't break his stress ball. We broke it and it blew up everywhere with a purple slim shot out onto the walls. Hey, we were stressed! Also we had to do a service project and clean some bathrooms.

Update on my companion Elder Loughmiller: He's writes in his journal for hours. Idk if i said this but he has diabetes so his pancreas sucks. Whenever we play ping pong and he starts losing he says his blood sugar is low and he is losing his fine motor skills. I don't not believe him it's just funny to me. 

Elder Plate update: He's funny to other people, just not to me. He's been making more friends and putting himself out there so that's cool. He has a lot of knowledge about stuff but I think most of it is pseudo-knowledge. He has a girlfriend he texts a lot, and that's why he came on a mission. I think it was because her mom wants her to date a return missionary. Kind of a frail reason to go but you do you. He's definitely grown a lot since last week.

I hope everyones weeks were OP and lemme know how your guys' weeks were.

Also smells bad in Hmong is Tsw Phem which means evil smell.
