On Sundays and Tuesdays, we have choir practice. My companion really likes to sing, so I go too. The first week here, we had the largest choir in the world. Approximately 950 members. We just sing for the Tuesday night devotionals. That many people are really loud, it was cool.
On Wednesday mornings, we have to do an hour of assigned service. For us, that means we take a hose into the bathrooms and put a thing of acid on the end of it and spray down the showers. Then we take off the bottle of acid and spray it down with water. Compared to the other jobs that I have seen(sweeping the cement, taking out garbage, etc) we have it pretty nice. And we just get to shoot water everywhere!
We have this one elder in our District named Elder Christensen. He likes being on the mission, but really likes getting off topic. Last week, he started setting up a game of Dungeons And Dragons that we can play when we all get home from out missions. He gave us options of different characters and how they live their lives. I was a Halfling that was super evil and liked to party. I guess that's good? Yesterday he got tired and wanted to take a nap in class. He put a book bag on his head and laid across three chairs. Right as he put his head down, a teacher came in to the room. It was pretty funny.
This week we got to teach our first real investigator. Her name is Ivette. She from El Salvador and is going to BYU learning English. The first 2 times that we taught her, she didn't really want to open up. She would ask a lot of questions, and she thought that the Book of Mormon is evil. But on the last lesson we had with her she said that she had started reading the Book of Mormon and had prayed about it. That was a huge step. We'll see how the lessons progress.
Elder Walker gave me a new band name: Daily Deaconitis. He said it because everyday he somehow manages to have some tie poking out from his collar.
We got some new elders and one new sister in our zone this week. They are alright but I haven't had much opportunity to talk to them. There is one black kid that came in, who is also a Ginger. I thought that was cool. This week I get to be a host that welcomes the new missionaries and takes them to their rooms.It should be fun.
That is all I've got, don't take any wooden nickels
