We got a new branch pres
branch not closing
so a fourth of my mission is in barbosa
barbosa is the best
its crazy
we had a crazy service project
picking corn we used machetes and sharp sticks
and the first 15 minutes were awesome
and then all the gringos got destroyed by pollen
everyone was sneezing we all had to go
yeah so then me and elder lott would just load up a donkey with corn, lead it to a barn, unload, repeat
i felt connected to grapes of wrath
guys ive been thinking
get olive or oscar to find norwegians in oakland
learn norwegian
make norwegian friends
no bad could come from that
dude look up knausgaard
look at how cool norwegians are
scandinavia has literally found the way to live the most enriching life and nobody cares
yeah i think it would be cool if the family could get around in norwegian
lots of english classes this week
some get english and progress and others theres no hope
im bad with patience
but if they get it then im the best
i ask what the expressions are they say in spanish everyday
i teach them in english
and i tell them to say them everyday
but yeah in general i suck
we usually do personal lessons
or one family
we used to do classes w 5-10 people
but now no
elder crandell has been out
5 weeks
from Arizona
im with him for intercambios
we get more work done because hes not trunky
spanish is awesome
literally you guys could learn and be at same level of french in 3 months
Spanish is way easier than french
i need to practice french though
i bought a french dictionary but have already found like 10 errors so i dont trust it
I have a barbosa accent
For exercise, I do pushups or jumprope
did you want to marry an exmissionary mom?
was byu a fun school?
everyone here is going to byu
everyone has the same plan
if your not going to byu and studying business whats the matter with you
mormonism is crazy
i realized in a branch council meeting
no one is thinking about the book of mormon in here
no one is thinking about joseph smith
its their whole life
mormonism never was the book of mormon
its an organism
nobody thinks about joseph smith on sunday
nobody thinks about jesus
they talk with their friends
everyone has to get married
because jesus was in america
but not really im sure everyone will have a happy family
its pretty cool getting latinos a way into the states
today ive been out 5 months
