 Day 3/Friday—------------- “Fond of Bonds” 🤝         Friday was full of bonding for our district. My trio started the day with breakfast then headed to a mock teaching lesson. It went pretty well. Lots to improve, lots to be proud.   After the appointment we had some things planned, but soon all those plans burnt out when we saw Sisters Hall and Dickson.       *Introducing 2 new characters* 🌹Sister Hall:A tall very caring/instigating sister from….I forgot where she's from. What I've learned is she always seems down to “Girl talk”💅 It feels like she loves drama and is always ready to get into those deep conversations. A very cool and exciting person to talk to. 🌻Sis Dickson:A giant Crazy (emphasis on crazy) ball of sunshine wrapped in a very petite package. This girl is so full of energy it's almost venomous 🕷 Very infective and a very fun friend to have around in case the aura gets dry🦴 She also knows my cousin Lola😁 We stopped t...

🥩Day 2/Thursday pt.2— 🥩”Now we got beef”

 Day 2/Thursday pt.2— 🥩”Now we got beef”    Later that day we had our very first Branch meeting. In this meeting we called our Zone Leaders and District Leaders.  But also….    We're taught some other things about *smacks the board* “STANDARDS” Branch President Golden walked into the room with 10 min left of the meeting. At arms length he stood in front of me. His eyes locked onto my presence as if trying to intimidate me.    Why was he doing this? Because the topic of his little speech was about *Smacks Board Again* “Slang”  B.P.G🏅:”SO you no longer get to say bro. He is not your homie. The gospel isn't Dope. Etc.”    All while looking at me. I understand I use slang a lot, but while being here I have been trying to cut down on it to maintain my missionary standards. So calm down little boy (A 6’3” man).     He also mentioned these standards are written by prophets and we should not question them. Now comes the rea...

🔥Day 1/Wednesday—🔥“Hurry Up”

 *Note that these emails were written and conceived the week or day of* Pick a day, any day. Or don't up to you....but ngl they pretty good 🤷‍♀️ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Quite the roller coaster of emotions. As I said goodbye to each of my family members, my emotions got the best of me. But as soon as I stopped and tried to sit in this tender moment all I heard was, “HURRY UP!”      Imagine that. One of the most loving moments you may ever share with your family stripped away because of time. 😮‍💨    Stressed out, anxious, and HOT. A newly fresh, yet sweaty Elder Te’o walked into the MTC *Enter Elder Te'o*           I’m so thrown off. 🧠: “My bags are too heavy for Elder Coward (my helper and guide for the day) to carry.” “Wipe your tears, you're embarrassing yourself. BE A MAN!” “I'm so hot in this suit, my shirt is getting wet!”           *After picking up his assigned tools, Elder Te’o sees his ...
