hey. this week's been good. it went by super fast again. i don't know if i like that. i have been thinking about it and how i only have a couple months left and how if i keep thinking about it like i am it's going to be so super slow. but i know that if i immerse myself in the Lords work then it will fly by and i won't even notice the time.
so yeah haha elder aiasao started teaching us the Haka and then he says...ok elder smith, you ready to lead it? and i was like heck no!! so he convinced me to do it any way. haha totally reminded me of dancing and how you are always remembering choreography. man i miss that. :) we are going over to a families house today where we have to do or show them a talent in order to eat our dinner. :) haha so i am thinking of telling them about the video on youtube of me dancing at disneyland. hopfully i can pass with that.
anyway the work is going well. i am back in a ward and is super weird to have old people to teach and eat at their houses. haha not super excited to be in a singles ward when i go back. :) haha maybe it will be different. we are teaching a man from the congo and he is going to be baptized on march 9th. he is doing really well. we are also having a lot of partmembers to work with cause it is a family ward and not a YSA ward/branch. :) haha anyways thats about it for me. heres your answers to your questions.
i love you all and can't wait till next week! oh and yeah i have heard of the poem that steven read. i have it in my binder. it is a great one to look at for the Atonement. also the book called believing Christ.
love
Elder Jens Smith
We were wondering why in doing a haka...why your companion is in the background and you're the leader? You look so tall. You did it sooo good. Want to elaborate a bit more?
yeah so like i said elder aiasao started with it and then later told me that i was leading it. so the young mens pres. is Polynesian and he said that we should teach the haka to the young men and then they could perform it at the stake young men and women talent show in davenport. so we did so and then we had lava lava's made for us and then yes i did get your package and you gave me that red tie which went perfect with the lava lava. i wore red cause i was the leader. so perfect timing!!! and i did wear it on valentines day. :)
Tell me a funny story.
ok so elder aiasao and i were talking to the sisters about taking some investigators to a valentine dance and one sister said " well we all know missionaries aren't allowed to dance" and then elder aiasao says "oh man but i wanted to get my boogy on!" silence and then she says..."well you can just boogy in your nose!" LOLOLOLOLOL it was super funny! i had not laughed that hard in months!!!!! it was so good to laugh like that. we have laughed like that a couple times now. so good. :) and then we were talking and then the topic of dancing came up again and then the sister said, yeah just stick your finger up there and boogey in your nose." :) super funny!
Christian can't hold babies...can you? why or why not?
nope. its in our white handbook and it says to not hold babies for legal reasons and for safety reasons. the book is made mainly for the safety of the missionarys and because of some things that have happened to missionaries in the past that they don't want to have happen in the future. so its pretty smart for that reason.
any package yet?
yep i got your package! i loved it!
How are you feeling? sick lately?
no not sick lately. just super sore. we had an awesome pday yesterday where we went to this pizza store. bought 2 five square foot pizzas, played some hard core basketball and then some vollyball! i am so sore! i have never been this sore before. its prolly cause of me playing every morning in iowa city and then getting transfered and not playing for 2 weeks straight.
Scary stories?
mmmm nope. i don't think i have any scary stories that i have had on the mish.
