WEEK 45 DAAN: The week that was longer that 7 days because it felt like an eternity and a half (but it was actually just 7 days)

*slow clap for original email title*

W.... E.... L.... L......... 
T..... h.... I..... s........... H....a.......s.........b....e........e....n........m.......y..........w......e...e...e...e...e..e...3..e..e.e.e.k

I'm not crazy you're crazy. Bats. Something about bats. 

So yah I have had one heck of a week. I've woken up almost every day. I've eaten almost every meal. And I've napped almost every day. 

So the life right? 

I would like to say though that my cooking is improving at a near exponential rate, and let me say that is a relief to both me and my companions.

Which speaking of my companions I really didn't talk about them last email. I just kinda soap boxed last email. But that's okay. Totally worth it. But Elder Broderick is my old MTC companion. Elder Dobbs went to the military academy in New York, and let's just say he's got me reaaaalllllyyyyy trunky for my military service. 

Like I'm super excited to get into the army. But he's just a great guy. He's very active as one is and that involves him basically hating quarantine with a passion. But you know it's okay. We've got a ukelele. So you already know we've been jamming. 

So.... Trying to think if anything else happened.... 

Yah I spend a lot of time sitting around. Listening to BYU speeches. Doing Chinese. Wasting absurd amounts of time playing duolingo.... But what is time anyway. 

As I was doing come follow me this week we were in Alma 32-35 and there's a lot of talk about humility in those chapters and so as I was doing some looking into humility I went to the gospel topics page and read about humility. And that took me to a video link. 

And basically I spent the next hour watching the 12 steps to addiction recovery videos on gospel library. They were soooooo good and sooooooo powerful and I soooooo recommend it. Like please go and watch them. You will cry. 

I cried for an hour. Straight. 

But they are way good. 

But they also wrecked me because then my eyes hurt for the rest of the day. 

Ummm.... What happened.... 

Yah apart from that and writing songs on the ukelele life is just moving along. 

I did find out that I will be moving to Muzha on Thursday! Which is like 10 minutes below where I live right now so I'm hyped about that!

I'm ready to get out of here. 

Yah, I really have nothing to say.

So I made some memes from old family photos I found while I've been bored. 

Alsoooooo, my friend Kara Taylor just got her mission call to Tokyo Japan and I'm super excited that she will be joining me in the islands across the sea!!! Love her!!! It's so exciting and congrats to her!!!
