Hey family,
The MTC has bee so good, the food is ok and
the Spanish is coming along well. It's so cool how fast you can learn
things when you have the spirit with you! Thank you for all the prayers
and support, it helps so much. I haven't had any crazy or cool
experiences this week, but I have been doing well. I don't have a ton of
time to write so this letter is very brief, sorry.
I've been
playing sports everyday, wearing the brace and everything. It feels good
most of the time, I just have the random day that it hurts. It's just
getting to the point where I'm pissed off that it isn't going away.
Played mostly volleyball and basketball, but no one else here is to
great at sports honestly. In basketball I'm the best player on this
campus (from what i've seen) by so much, it's not even close. Here's
kind of a funny story.
The other day I was shooting around
with my companion just by ourselves, and I heard some kid screaming and
yelling like he's just won the Super Bowl. I looked over and this kid
just drained 3 threes in a row to win themselves the pickup game of 2 on
2. He was right in the other kids faces, bragging and just being super
annoying and cocky. I walked over and I could hear him saying, "Someone
get a fan in here, cuz I'm too hot! You can't touch this I'm too good!" I
started laughing to myself in my head, and told my companion lets go
play them. My companion, Elder Felts is not a super athletic guy, his
main sport is swimming and the only sport he's ever played with a ball
before is soccer and he hasn't played that since he was like 10. So we
walk over and I tap the kid on the shoulder, he turns around and says
"Who are you?" I being the straight up jerk I can sometimes be, say "I'm
the fan, and I'm here to cool you down." I give a little grin and his
smile quickly fades. I shoot for ball and drain it. We play and I just
destroy this kid, and he doesn't say another word! He asks me after the
game, where are you from? I say Canada, and he says one word before he
leaves; "wow...". It was so funny, we couldn't stop laughing about it
afterwards! It was the best! Haha
Anyways I love you guys and
conference was an awesome experience! I loved every second of it, my
favorite talks were President Packers in Saturday morning session, and
President Uchtdorf's in Priesthood session. Look those up, they will
help your lives.
Con amor,
Elder Strate
