Hey y’all!
This week was one of the most fun and definitely the saddest
yet.
It’s our new tradition that whenever a district leaves we
have a White Elephant tie exchange. Remember this name because I might have a
tie company someday and that’s what I’ll name it. We all choose our crappy ties
and wrap them up with whatever we can find, then open, and steal, and whatnot. I stuffed my brown
and blue striped tie that I found on the side of the road long ago into a roll
of toilet paper. It was super fun.

The sad part was the district that came a week before us
(aka “our new best friends”) left! All of them went to Argentina except for two
who went to Ecuador. They passed down a few things that night to us like a
bacon slicer and the tree of chastity. I literally didn’t sleep that entire
night, like I never even got in bed. I was going to the travel office with
Elder Roberts and Prestwich, the two going to Ecuador, at 2:00 in the morning,
so I just wandered around the dorm and talked to people until then, and then
for several hours after that until it was morning. It was a sad morning. I shed
several tears. We talked our teacher into letting us out of class at 8:30 to say goodbye
to the rest of them. The MTC is like empty now! Probably because there were
like 100 people who left for Argentina but also because I like hung out with
these guys 24/7. We’re getting like ten new guys today, so it’s okay. We
already got a new one yesterday. His name is Elder Grey and he’s from American
Samoa…and he’s super cool.

Also, I’ve decided my Spanish is good enough so I’m learning
Tongan with the help of Elder Kaufusi and all my new Tongan friends. I’m
basically fluent in saying hi to people now. It’s super fun! I’m going there as
soon as I’m back from Panama, no doubt.
That’s it for this week. I’m becoming a solo missionary when
my companions leave on Monday, but I still have to be with other people all the
time, so it means nothing. I’ll have been through five companionship's by the time I’m
out of here.
