Gregarious Gary had ten weasels hidden in his beard.

Hey Sekia, family, sekia.  Not a whole lot of stuff is going on here in the mtc, it's pretty much the same.  We pretty much teach in samoan almost every day, so that's been pretty good.  Sometimes i don't prepare as well as i should, and then it' way hard.  But usually the lessons are really good.  My companion's really good with the language, he speaks better than anyone in the district.  But he's fluent in tongan, so that's why.  but it's really good, i'm learning a lot.  Sometimes i get frustrated with the language, but most of the time it's just dope.  Expecially when me and my companion talk about the other missionaries and they don't know what we're saying.  I think that's my biggest motivation right now, haha i just like making fun of all the weird elders here.  nah jkjk it's all good.  But yeah, i'm stoked for when i'm fluent, that's gonna be sick.  I translated the Arthur theme song in samoan the other day, you know, it's good to stay busy.  Not a whole lot has happened this week, my companion was sick for a couple days, so on wednesday i got to sit in the residences and read the book of mormon for like ten hours straight.  That was way sick, i loved that.  I'm really growing more of a love for the book of mormon, it's the dopest.  it's gun for sure.  But yeah i wish i had studied it more before i left, and preach my gospel too, i feel like i don't know any of the gospel stuff as well as i should.  But it's good, i guess that's why i'm here.  sekia, dope for sure.  I think the most exciting thing that happened this week was when two of the elders in my district got to go to the "outstide world" to go to the hospital cause one of the kids hurt his knee.  But yeah, that's pretty much the most exciting thing that happened, it's exciting stuff.  I talked to Austin the other day for like two hours, i see him every day and we swap weird scriptures that we find.  They're all really funny, the bible is freakin weird.          My companion is dope, we get along super good.  Me and him and Elder hansen are all super tight, we get into some "wacky adventures".  I try to do weird stuff to my companion and pull wacky pranks on him, but i think he's just used to it now.  He's been subjected to me for too long.  When we're talking to other elders that we don't know, he always pretends that he doesn't speak english, and then says a bunch of weird stuff.  But its' good, we've had a lot of weird stories, i just can't think of any right now, it's like six in the morning.  It's tight though, haha i think the only thing that bugs me about him is the he "Chonks" very loudly.  I timed it when he ate the sacrament bread, and it took him a minute and twenty seconds just to chew that little peice of bread. And he did so very loudly. i think that's your fault that that bugs me, papa.  haha but nah, i take that as a good thing, cause nothing else bugs me, we're freakin tight.  Langi is the dopest, i'm way lucky to be with a cool companion. one of the funnies kids i've ever met.  He's teaching me how to sing, i'm not gonna lie, i'm pretty good.  haha nah jkjkjkjkjkj, i wanna get good so i can sing in samoa, cause they love singing there.  And all the samoan songs are dope.  He's gonna teach me how to play the piano too, i wanna learn to play it.  I never realised how much i love music until now.  And singing and playing the piano is the only kind of music we get in here, so i thrive on it.  Langi is teaching me and Burgess how to harmonise, we're gettin it, we're gettin it.  Music is dope sick dank mean ill bad double dope tight sekia for sure.  No doubt, malo, sekia.  I can't really think of anything to write, so i'll just say some stuff.  "Stinky steve waddled gracefully."  "Gregarious Gary had ten weasels hidden in his beard."  "That's a mighty fine ferret you have, may i touch it?"
