Provo MTC Week 1

Hey everyone this is my first week in the MTC and it's been good so far! I love my district and my companions so it has been super good to see these guys in person. Monday and Tuesday: These days were pretty fun because they were my last 2 days in the home MTC, and they were P-day and a travel day so I got to do a ton of fun stuff with my family before I left. I went golfing with my dad and Calder and we all played pretty bad but it was still super fun. We also went to Maize tacos with some uncles and cousin-uncles for the last time to say goodbye, and that was sad, but it was great to be with everyone who came. Wednesday: Showed up to the MTC and got dropped off which was pretty brutal. It was super sad to say goodbye to everyone. I got to meet my district and branch though and they are all super fun. There is a samoan dude from Australia named Elder Hunt in my branch who is hilarious and makes all of us laugh all the time. Thursday and Friday: Pretty much just went to class, worked out, studied, and went to class again both of these days. Also I went to the temple on Friday with my district. I got to see Kynlli Harryman and Carston Calder though and it was super fun to see those guys. Nice to see people you know. Also I can’t remember which day it was but I was part of blessing on one of these days and that was super cool because it was the first blessing I was a part of. Saturday: Pretty similar to the other days but I was shlumped this day. I fell asleep on the bench at the gym. While doing personal study. While doing comp study. And in class. Still gotta get used to this sleep schedule. I also got a package from my mom and grandma so that was really nice to see. Anyways this week has been pretty good. There is an elder in my district named Elder Klevin who whistles all the time and it low key drives me nutz. It’s gotta be karma though because I used to do the same thing to my mom, but I swear this is on a new level. No joke whistling whenever there is any silence. Super nice guy though. Anyways love and miss all of you! Pictures: 1. We went and did Baptisms as a district on Friday. 2. Me, Elder Harding, Elder Palmer, and Elder Chang playing cards. Elder Chang also forgor forks so he folded a hanger and used that as chopsticks. 3. I also got to see Kynnli Harryman from high school here so it was super good to see her. 4. Shlumped

I'm 胖 (pàng), white, tall, in Canada, speaking Chinese, and looking like a kiwi.

Just to start off the direct translation of 胖 means fat in Chinese, but it's a word used to describe anyone who is not skinny, so I am now 胖. I GOT MY TRAVEL PLANS! So anyways I fly to Canada on Thursday morning at 4:07 AM by myself, and I'm so excited. I have loved the MTC though. The people I met here have been awesome, and the amount of stuff I learned here about the gospel and Chinese has been awesome. The MTC will always have awesome memories associated with it in my mind. Also I will miss Elder Palmer a lot. He is such a cool dude, and my next companion is going to have a lot to live up too. This week me and some people in the district decided we were going to do push-ups for every word we miss out of our goal for the week. We've been doing 150 words per week with the tones and if we don't get them right, that's three pushups. Anyways I did 102 pushups on Tuesday, but this week I will do none. My mom sent me a package with Salsa and Cherries in it. It was...

Hey everyone! This week has probably been my best week in the MTC so far. I feel like I'm really settling into things and starting to learn Mandarin so that's good. I've also been getting super tan from being outside so much so that's been way good. - We have an elder in our district named Elder Godfrey who is super funny. Everyone either calls him Godfrey, Dogfrey, or Rigby (he's from Rigby Idaho). He keeps dropping the most hilarious comments out of nowhere and it's making my day. For example were just talking one night before going to bed and there was a moment where no one talked for a good 2 minutes, and he just chimes right in and says "You know guys sometimes we do the right thing for the wrong reason" he then proceeded to talk about how he just loved to fight people but he doesn't do it in a noble manner most of the time. - We helped escort all of the new elders into the MTC this week and it was such a good time. We have an elder in our d...
