Alright y'all,
So this week has been crazy but fun, and interesting, with a lot of ups, and a few downs. My new companion, Elder Hudak, is a straight stud. We spent a long time driving together, since the drive from Farmington to Tuba is about three and a half hours, and we also drove to Page and back which was about a three hour round trip. We get along great, and we are living with another set of elders, Elder Krauss and Elder Szendre. They are our zone leaders, and they are awesome as well, and we all are having a ball.
Well we have had a lot of lessons this week, and I can say that the law of chastity is now my favorite lesson to teach. We taught it to a family of kids ranging from the ages of 9-24, their parents were gone. Anyway the way we teach it is by using the "Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes" song, and they hadn't heard it before so my companion said that I was going to sing and do the actions for them. So I did, and it was kinda awkward at first, but it was actually pretty fun, and they all had a good laugh. Then we went through the rest of the lesson, and I taught them about the "no-no square," so yeah, it was fun, and is now my favorite lesson.
We actually can't use our truck right now because Elder Hudak's license expired and I don't have a tiwi card yet, so we are waiting on my tiwi card and are on foot for the time being. It has actually been a great thing; we have seen a lot of miracles from it, we get offered rides all the time, we wave and smile at everyone that drives by, so a lot of people see us, and we have gotten in with like almost everyone that has been a struggle to get in with before, and we see a lot of change in people, whether it is good or bad. We actually were walking yesterday and one of our investigators ran after us to talk with us. He looked pretty sober from a distance but as soon as he started talking to us we knew he was under the influence, but yeah that was an interesting conversation, and he confessed some things to us and why he doesn't want to go further in the church and so on.
After our days are over and we are back in our trailer we like to mess around a little and make and sing songs. I have the recording of one, it is the "McDonalds Song," and I will try to send it to you (Elder Krauss sang it). And it turns out that one of the senior missionaries here signed our trailer up to do a musical number at the senior zone conference. We are working on ideas and one of them was a piano battle, since we all can play the piano. We think it would be funny to have two pianos on stage and each companionship gets a piano and we just battle it out or something just for kicks and giggles, but we aren't sure so we'll see what happens.
It is a tradition that every week is a food challenge, and this past week Elder Krauss took on the 4 Big Mac challenge. He got down three no problem, so we had to mix it up a bit, and we made him blend up and drink the last Big Mac, which he actually did, and he took it like a champ. This week the challenge falls upon me and I have accepted the 12 tacos from Taco Bell challenge. The goal is to try and eat them all in under 8 minutes, so we will see how it goes.
We get a great workout in every morning. We go to the Diabetes Prevention Center. I have ran about 5-6 miles in the last week so yeah, that has been great, so I know I'm not going to get fat from these food challenges.
Elder Takis
His mom made a comment about how now that he's transferred it seems he doesn't need all the super warm stuff he'd asked for and gotten for Christmas. His reply: "...even though it is like in the 40-50's it is still freezing, cuz it is super windy, and the high desert plays tricks on you and your mind."
