Week 10

Well we're in the MEGADISTRICT now. *laser sounds*

Pretty much the first hours of the day are for prep, breakfast and our three hours of study time, just like in the field. So I guess that's good, but the rest of the day is completely free and we can use it up however you want, We've had tons of language study and lots of rounds of "who would win in a fight between..." Scripture edition.

I've been pretty lucky with my companions so far, but i know that I'm gonna have some that'll make me want to punch a monkey ( which i hear are all over in Goiania). But I've had lots of time to figure out how to be that good kind of companion.

We learned yesterday that there's nothing more important and that gives you more success as a missionary than learning to plan effectively and set goals and have a plan, so I guess that falls under that category of being "long-suffering".

We also learned that the Brazilian term for going to the bathroom is "baptizing a Lamanite"

Genesis just blows my mind. But I read Abraham, which was way interesting. Many off-topic deep discussions about that. You know you've been in the MTC too long when you start having "doctrine studies" about whether or not there are other "races or intelligent life out there, and if so, do they have their own diety, or are they just sentient life?"
yup.

Well there's only so much prep you can do outside of the mission field, we'll probably end up getting reassigned at 14 weeks if we don't get sent, but we'll see how that goes.
The days crawl by almost too slowly, but the months go by fast.

Also, most of us have forgotten how to respond to our first name, we tested it :D

Love you,

Elder Webber
