Hey, so sorry about not sending this yesterday, we were a bit lacking in time, but here it is.
This week has been interesting, but good. Last Monday we were in Farmington to do some shopping and we ended up going and playing rugby with some of the Farmington Elders. That just reminded me how out of shape I am. I was wheezing and coughing, getting cramps, and had a hard time getting air, but it was fun regardless, and rugby is an interesting sport.
We went and did more service for Brother Schake. We were helping him put up more of his endless Christmas lights/decorations. He also made us breakfast, which was an odd combination of ingredients, but tasted amazing. He made us sausage links, toast, tater tots (they were mashed up to look like hash browns), and fried eggs, but the best part of it was this sauce he made (which is fairly easy to make, just 2 ingredients) to go over the top of it all and it was Roasted Garlic Parmesan Ragu Sauce with Canadian Bacon in it, and it was absolutely delicious!
Then Wednesday things got crazy. I started having some issues, and then we went over to Sister Busch's and the District gave me a little surprise birthday party. I'll try and get some pictures from it, but yeah I opened the door and got confetti thrown in my face, but it was good, and I'm thankful for the people here, and the missionaries here as well, they are all great!
Thursday, was rough at first, I was feeling awful when I woke up so my companion told me to sleep in, so I did and that helped a little. Then we went to zone training, where I was given more birthday greetings. Not only that but me and my companion gave a training on "the list" which I wasn't prepared for because I didn't do a whole lot of studying because I wasn't feeling good. But I feel like it went pretty good. We had lunch after, and it was cooked by Elder Ah Chee, who is Samoan, and really knows how to cook Samoan BBQ.
Friday we got a Christmas present from the Mission Office!!! A new 2017 Toyota Tacoma:
Okay, it wasn't a Christmas present, but we did get one! And I got the opportunity to be a witness at a baptism for a boy named Hector Contreras. He is in 3rd ward but it was still good to go to a baptism, I haven't been to one in a while! Then I went on exchanges with Elder Stewart, one of our Zone Leaders, which was pretty good.
Sunday we had dinner with these 2 Polynesian brothers. They were hilarious. One is a RM and the other put his papers in last week.
Yesterday, we went to Farmington to do some shopping and then we went and had an awkward jam session at an investigators house in 3rd ward, but it was loud and fun! I've never played a bass guitar before, and the drums were really loud. But, yeah, that is what is going on right now here.
Love you all,
Elder Takis
Oh and for your information, at dinner last night we were fed Frito Pie, which is Fritos, chili, cheese, sour cream, and lettuce, in a bowl. I not only tried it, but I went back for seconds, so just thought that would be a good thing for you to hear.
