First week of mission lyyyyyfffeee

I hate to say it but life is better here. We have already figured out the do's and don'ts of the MTC... I learned the hard way that flirting REALLY is frowned upon. And the sense of humor is so dry here that we are all desperate for anything funny... Except farting, farting is no longer humorous, especially in a room with an O-lineman, a QB, a Mexican, a rancher, and two little boys from Utah county. Every night we struggle to sleep because of the smell. Hehe. Ain't gonna lie, the first two days were LONG. But now we are always busy and time is just starting to fly by. My companion is Elder Ballard and he is a character let me tell ya. He is a rancher from Fredonia, Arizona which is like 3 miles from Kanab. He talks with a hick accent and his whole high school had 60 kids in it lol, hes worked in coal mines and herds cattle at his families ranch. I'm already getting an accent from him lol. I love my life rn like my district is so sick. There's a QB from Idaho named Elder McKinlay who challenges me in sit ups and chin ups and pull ups and wall sits and planks like every day, but I've won every time except the wall sits. So I'm impressed with myself. There's an O-lineman from Davis high school named Elder Dunn and hes kinda a big boy who is really funny, and there's Elder Garcia from Las Vegas who is Mexican and hes super shy but funny when he talks. Then there is elder Irhke from alpine and I love him lol we went to highschool together so hes like my little taste of home. Oh and Elder Dunn and Elder McKinlay are the only two not going to Louisianna, they are going to the Arcadia California mission. The food is alright, the unlimited chocolate milk is basically the only thing getting me through each day. But I think having 3-4 chocolate milks every meal is doing a number on my digestive system... cuz it aint workin. I'm the District Leader rn which puts a lot of responsibilities on me but it's still a breeze. We are all already so close as a district and love each other so much its gonna be hard to leave some of them in 2 weeks. Spiritually I've grown a butt load... and you guys have no idea how true this gospel is. I'm gonna leave you guys with the one thing that's getting me through the MTC... Whenever you are going through a hard time or a trial in your life, forget yourself and turn out towards those around you and help others every chance you get. I kid you not this works.
