A Weird Week

So this week, has been different, especially in a new area.

We had district meeting in Montego Bay on Wednesday. It was nothing like I expected, but then again, neither was anything else down here.

Then, Friday night, Elder Vea broke his bike pedal, we got to take it to a bicycle repair shop later today to have his pedal welded back on. Sucks to be him, and only 3 months left.

Saturday, we were informed of an area conference fireside that we had to go to Montego Bay for, again. When we got there, we started watching it (via satellite broadcast) but the weather was not in our favor. The picture kept going in and out. We eventually called it quits. So we made a trip to Mobay for nothing.

Then, we also learned that our letters to president (we send via email) never reached Pres. Graff. Apparently, there was a dispute between the Church and Yahoo, so he didn't receive any emails. He had to change his account to gmail.

Lastly, we had white people at church yesterday! It was so weird. They were members on vacation from Canada (alberta I think) I didn't expect them in Falmouth because the town is so small here. But there's like 30 hotels/resorts between Ochi and Mobay and we're right in the middle, so it almost doesn't surprise me.

Sorry I didn't get to send pictures this week. Hopefully I'll send some next week.

Quick Emails from the MTC

Brandon shot off a couple of fast emails from the MTC on his last P-day (Preparation Day) there:

I got the box just fine, it actually arrived before the big letter you sent. your other box (second one) should be arrving tomorrow according to the dear elder. for gym, we go to the field across the road because the gym is closed for remodeling. i dont have to pack scrips and pmg everywhere, just to about half of everywhere. we teach eachother and former missionaries here at the mtc. i actually got a new set of sheets a few days after the inital date. plus we do sheet exchanges every tuesday. the jk at the end is for jamaica kingston. and dear elder works just fine for getting it to me. we memorize pretty much what we want to, but eventually, you use some scriptures so much you have it memorized, like the joseph smiths first vision. but i like snail mail too, i prefer returning snail mail because i have more time to write than i do to type. i also think the ups might be faster than the postal system, but what do i know.
