Last PDay Elder Labrum washed all his whites with a pen in the load so it ruined all his white shirts and a ton of his garments and all this other clothing so this week has been a lot of getting him new clothes and trying to fix the old ones.
Friday was the day that gave us hope. I know you guys have already seen but we got travel plans on Friday!! That was really exciting. and is just the little push I need. Next Wednesday 9/20 Ill be able to call home while im at the airport. Sometime between 3ish-7 (My time) in SLC and then maybe able in LAX from like 8-11ish (your time) but im not sure. Just really excited to get out of here. A perfect example of how depressing it is here is Saturday night. I could see the stadium, I could hear the stadium, I could even hear the announcer but I could not see one player or the score board. So that really sucked and all i heard saturday nights was screaming and having no idea what was going on.
On Sunday in church I was asked to do the sacrament. So I had to say the sacrament prayers in Tagalog and holy crap that is hard. The prayers are so much longer and I kid you not its just a super long tongue twister. So that was brutal. Then in distrist meeting or sunday school we all made a goal to overcome some kind of an addiction. Mine is popping my knuckles and may I tell you it is impossible. I find myself popping my knuckles without even realizing it so that sucks but I am doing it less and im making some progress. That night for the devotional Chad Lewis came. I dont know if you guys know who he is but He played at BYU and then went on to play with Andy Reid and the Eagles. He had some sweet stories and share awesome experiences. Probably one of the best devotionals yet. Later we went and watched a talk for our movie that night. We went and saw Recognizing the Spirit by Elder Bednar, I dont think you can find the talk anywhere but the MTC however it is an amazing talk. He shares three stories from when he was a young missionary, a stake president at the age of 40 and then an apostle at the age of 56. Pretty crazy but it was way good to hear.
Monday and Tuesday all my english missionary friends left. So that was sad but needless to say our dorm is a lot quiet now that they are gone. The ones that left on Monday left at 9:15 in the morning so that wasnt to bad but the ones that left Tuesday left at 3:30 in the morning, And because we love them so much Elder Jarman and I both woke up and walked them to the travel office and said goodbye however I think i regret that. Once I got back to the dorm I couldnt fall back asleep so tuesday I was up from 3:30am to 10:30pm with NO naps. I almost died I think. They are all going to either Federal Way Washington or Colorado Springs. I took pictures with most of them so ill send those later.
Now for packages. The brobergs sent me a dozen cinnamon rolls through dear elder and that was amazing. Tell them thank you so much for me I loved them. However Mom you sent me a good 35-40 cookies yesterday in that package (yes I got it thank you very much) and I was like wow that is a lot of cookies and we already have a ton of junk food. Then later in the afternoon yesterday I got another package slip and boom Emma and Mallory both sent me Chip cookies. So holy crap we have cookies for days. I feel so fat its ridiculous how much food we have. Also please dont send any more chip cookies because they are delivered on wednedsays only so I wont get them. Ill be gone :)
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ALL THE DEAR ELDERS AND PACKAGES!!
Hope you are all doing well! Love you so much! Church is true!
Love,
Elder gsack

just went to the doctor and elder labrum got a wart frozen off. He is limping all over the place now
This is a game we play. We take spoons at meals and then walk around the campus and try to get them in peoples belt loops without them noticing. It seems really stupid but when youve been in the MTC 5 weeks, anything is enjoyable
Cookies for freaking days. I got all of this yesterday.
