So Tuesday the building got caught on fire. Kind of. Not really. BUT, there was a fire drill I think? All I know is that the fire alarms went off, and my teacher was like "GRAB YOUR BOOK OF MORMONS AND LESSS GOOO!"
So I brought my Book of Mormon and left the rest of my stuff to burn.
As a side note, the MTC has real nice sounding fire alarms.
On Wednesday I was teaching again and may have said something a little new... again...
So I was trying to say we all sin, the word for sin is Zui, so to say that we sin, saying that we have done it you say Zui le, le means 'ed' like sinned. But in Chinese if you say Zui le, that means intoxicated....
So in short I called my investigator intoxicated, proceeded to call myself intoxicated, and then my companion... and then everyone in the world...... So yah...... :)))))
BUT, I have met the people of newness! So turns out Raelynn Sharp is here! She got here on Wednesday and seeing her was the greatest! (She was on ballroom) I didn't think I was going to see her for another 2 years, but surprise!!! That made my day.
As well, turns out I have not one, but two second cousins here. There are two other Elder Bairds here and we were like "wow we have the same name! Yay polygamy and family things" And then later one of them came up to me and said that his dad and y dad were cousins. He's from the dentist Baird cousin for those who know them. And the other one is his cousin. So yah, my family is here. And we didn't even know. But they way cool. So now I know some second cousins on my dads side. Who knew they even existed! *shrug*
On Thursday I finished writing a song that I'm auditioning on this Thursday. Hopefully that goes well! Cause I really want to play again.
AND THEN CAME THURSDAY!
My month-aversary! As well we got to have class while being observed by African Kings!!
At least that's what our teacher thought, turns out that they were members of a Native American tribe called the zhuni. They are trying to preserve their language through an immersion school. So they came to the MTC to observe a class on how the teachers teach here, because they recognize how quickly the missionaries learn. And our class was the one they observed which was cool!
On Saturday we had an AMAZING TRC. This is where we teach a member a lesson. We taught faith in Jesus Christ, and the spirit just testified so strongly through it. Our teacher was there for it and she said that we did amazing! That was such a great confidence booster. But this week we start non-member TRC's which just sound terrifying.........
This week has kind of just been about faith. It has been amazing. My favorite chapter in the Book of Mormon is Alma 32. 10/10 would recommend.
What else happened this week.....
Well I learned you don't need to shove your earplugs in all the way to your brain for them to work. That was really nice to figure out XD
Well, I think that that is it for this week. Pictures will come sometime else.
Love you all!

This weeks something about socks section:
Well, I'm not really sure what to talk about in this this week. I'm still not exactly sure what this section is about.
But
Things are going a lot better with my companion. I've graduated to different problems which is good. Instead of having problems loving him, now I have issues trying to figure out how to help him. So that is good.
I know that the Lord is helping me through all of this and I am so grateful for that.
As well I'm getting better at learning Chinese which is a blessing for sure.
As well "Lead Kindly Light" by Vocal Point is amazing. We are singing the Tab CATS version in choir and I love it!
再见！
