what city is elder mahoni from?
the big guy is from Auckland. on the north island. there is a north and a south island.
does he have any relatives living in utah?
he thinks so... but he doesnt know em. hahaha funny joka.. thats what he always says. hes got tons of funny things he says. like hey yous, quit muckin around!!
Did your knee swell up? Can you walk on it now? Is it wrapped?
Ya the knee is feeling much better. didnt swell up much ive been able to play volley though. i cant kick at all... haha (not really supposed to anyways in volley)
i didnt ever wrap it or anything.. they just told me not to use it at all. so through series of testing i can now almost perform 100 percent. kneeling is still hard though.
Are you writing Jensen?
no i havnt written him yet. i will it would be super fun.
what's one thing that made you laugh this week?
well one of the elders in our district is from hennifer utah. (up by park cityish) and we were talking about his relationship with his gf and we found out that their favorite smell is...........cow poop!! weird huh?? hahahahah we tease him all the time now.
One new Cebuano word this week? Is anything getting easier about the language?
hmmm... well : Unsa karon sa lalaki nga anak. which translates to WHAT NOW SON!!!! or we got: Unsa ibawbaw sa mga iro which is WHATS UP DOG!! or kinsa sa ot ot- who farted? ahahahahahaha
In one of your last requests for shorts you asked for some shorts that were nike...I couldn't find any at the time but I did find some that were grey...are those the ones? If so I'll send you those too, if you want.
hmmm... its ok.. the ones i have now are good! thanks a bunch. one more request. could you put in an order with mike for the black nike pants? if he asks for the style number you can find it on the tag in the pants.
Um Jens just figured out how to send pictures via email...could you do that too paaaalease? If you don't have enough time to do that, that's fine...you know but it would sure be fun to see you there and your comp. I gotta start the comp picture rolodex on the wall of your shrine.
in just a moment im going to try to upload some photos!! im excited to see if it works.
Favorite discussion to teach investigators...
hmmm.. well we were teaching the importance of babtism to a lady and we asked her to be babtized and she said she was already when she was a baby and asked if it was valid. so me and my comp looked at each other and were like ohhhhh crapp.... so i just jumped up and grabbed the chalk and drew a 30min lesson on the apostosy and how her preist didnt have the authority of god (priesthood).
we got done with the lesson and we go back to our classroom and Elder Mahoni just said "Dang smith, you freaking beat her with the spirit!!" it was soo super funny and amazing.
Could we be your investigatorees? hehe
if you spoke fluent cebuano... than yes!!
good and bad this week?
good week! felt really good. two baptism accepted from our progresive investigators.
oh and im down 6lbs.. wierd?
How many hours a day are you emersed in the language?
ummm we spend about 12hrs in the classroom a day, and about 1.5 is in english. sooo alll day.
Got any questions for me? Need anything? Have any special requests? If you do...I'll send it today or tomorrow (Tues or Wed)
hmmm well contacts. still on the same pair for two.5 months. other than that im pretty much set..thanks.
Did you get the banana bread, butter, and other goodies? Did you kinda chuckle? butter... really mom?
ahhaha yes it was amazing!!! haha butter was funny but not unheard of. some of the other elders get baked bread with butter. packages are soooooooo amazing.. ahaha so its kinda funny to see who gets mail and who doesnt.. we all anxiously wait for our dl to bring the mail and when he shows up with 12 letters we get all excited. then he says that they are all for the sisters... well you could just imagine the dissapointment hahaha.
love you all
