I'm Going Home in 6 Days

Where did August even go? 1 month down, 23 to go!

So it's kind of weird. I'm a celebrity in our residence hall. About 2 weeks ago we had these new elders come in. (State side elders, so you know they have WAY too much time on their hands). Anyways, I met with them and we had a nice little chat. One of the elders gave me a haircut and the bonding began. The next day I walk into the residence hall, and they all start following me yelling "FURN FURN FURN FURN FURN DADDY DAWG!" "What have I done" I thought to myself as they gathered around me with blankets over their heads. "I've created a cult and they've only been here for two days." I asked them what title I should give my "followers". They said "call us the Furnites." I then proceeded to give them a lesson on the ten commandments and how they shouldn't worship false idols. Then I went up to the second floor and let's just say I now have an African American Furnite. I'm also running for governor when I get home cause pretty much everyone in building 5M said they would move to Idaho for 6 months, get they're residency, and vote me in. Idaho is about to see the Furnite revolution take place. Enough about that. For "family home evening" (whenever our district gets together) we played "Bean boozled". Elder Poulsen threw up and that's really all I have to say about that. Elder Nate Gregerson is here in the MTC so we've had some good times. Elder Barnard left a few days ago. I got to see him come and go. Yep, that's how long I've been here. Tracy Watson, who is the head of missionary curriculum (like he helped write preach my gospel, and direct "the district") gave a devotional on Sunday. He's from Thomas, Idaho! He gave an awesome devotional about the missionary purpose. He said "relax, listen to the Spirit, and let the Lord do the heavy lifting." He also reiterated what Elder Bednar said; "If you lose yourself, you'll find out who you really are." I hope everyone is doing well back home. Don't worry about me, I'm doing just fine. You guys have fun with Hillary Clinton, I'll be hanging out with Manny Pacquiao. Everyone have a good safe week! Read your scriptures and say your prayers! Also try to serve someone this week. I know this gospel is true, and I'm so thankful for my Savior! Love ya, ingat!!!
