Haha, yes, this it true. Before the mission i didnt even know what a seventy did... now I do. I imagine them now as the men the apostles send to give the slap-in-the-face when it is needed.
ahhh! I wanna go camping. Every day i look out over our area... I behold everything the light touches... I behold my kingdom... then I see the dark areas... the overgrown forest, the open savannah (yes, we have savannah here), and the low green hills... and it just gives me the urge of hopping the fence and just go walking... and walk until I reach some uncrossable river or forest then come back. fun stuff. Maybe someday.
Answering questions: first, I wanna have the experience of coming out of the airport... doing the slow-walk...posing for the cameras, hearing the cheers, kissing babies, breaking champagne bottles over ship keels, and being escorted back to assume my rightful throne as King of Town...... that´s just what passes through my head when I imagine that day.
Speaking of Singapore, when people ask me what my favorite place I´ve travelled to is, I think... passing briefly over my travels, and respond singapore... and malaysia.... I wanna go to india.
How was america day? how was Bungie Day?
On Monday, we passed by a house and the Dad asked us to give a blessing to his wife (member) then his grandkids asked to get blessings as well (not members) so I gave a blessing to the older one, I said her name and it started out all normal-like... then i stopped... it´s like something wasn´t letting me speak what I wanted to say, not a single word came out until the words came flying into my head and I let them flow out... and when the words stopped.. I stopped speaking, until they hit me again and I started speaking without wanting to. after, the family said that it was exactly what she was needing, and they were surprised that I had known exactly what to say. Awesome experience.
On Thursday we had another zone leader meeting with President. So we set up a semi-circle of chairs and tables in the chapel. it started 8 and went until 5. I feel like we´re in the dragon´s den when we do practices, cuz when the missionaries end their lesson, out comes the fire from the circling zone leaders... fun stuff :D I love these meetings, learn a lot. and get a little bit burned. ex:
Pres. *There´s a certain elder on the mission... I wont say his name........ Elder cruz...... that´s being an idiot!* and so forth.
After the meeting, we did a division with one of our district leaders, I took his companion back with me to my area. Poor guy, he´s a newbie, only 10 days in the field... soooo quiet. So we worked a few days together, and even until sunday, cuz apparently lots of missionaries had been sick the same day, Saturday, including my comp, so we couldn´t undo to division, even I got sick, for the first time on the mission I got sick and threw up during the night. I ALMOST MADE IT THROUGH! dang. So I laid down in the morning for a while, waiting for it to pass, but I couldn´t take it any longer, so i told the newbie to suit-up cuz we´re heading out, and shortly the sickness passed.
I used the time I had with the newbie to teach him how he can get a better start on the mission than many others. I told him what to study so he can learn how to pray (do you, brothers, know how to pray? i think NOT!) and so on. My my, how many things I´ve learned on the mission.
Lets see... what else... we´ve closed 2 baptisms already for this month, one for this week and one more for the 30th... so my nerves are a little better now. Just gotta help the zone baptize now.
I can´t remember much else that happened this week, we didn´t teach that many lessons, but closed a few baptisms, so it was a fair trade.
*You aint no Charles Barkley! You´re just a guy who looks like him. Be gone, wannabe, BE GONE!!*
