Hey everybody!
I know Summit will be awesome this year no matter what just
like every year. And I am a little sad that I won't be able to be apart of it
this year and the next. I hope you always remember that nothing can stop the
work from going forward. And that includes Summit.
My Companion is nuts. He is definitely not someone that I would
just hang out with at home. Granted that I wouldn't just hang out with a lot
of people. I'm sure there are a lot of things that we both do that annoy
each other. But we have been called of God to be companions. so we don't let that
affect us. Funny note. Brother Jordan's (Elder Roylance) camera stopped
working. So he asked his mom if she would send another. So she sent two for
whatever reason and the third one is probably one of the nicest digital cameras
you can get. Another funny thing is: Brother Jordan is from a super tiny town
in southern California. And whenever he sees or hears something here in the MTC
that he inst't used to he always askes "Is that a Utah thing?" or
"That must be a Utah thing because in my town . . ." *Starts to
ramble about how his town is so tiny*.
Don't you worry about my Journal writing. I've been keeping
a good Journal From the day I was set apart.
The MTC is Great! Last week we got a new batch of Russian
Missionaries!!! They are all great and we love them. We even have a Volunteer
(Missionary) From Germany in our Branch. On Sunday the leadership got
rearangened as it usually does every three weeks. We got new Zone leaders.
Elder Lawrence and Neuffer the Elders in our district and our room were called
to both be Zone Leaders. And I was called to be District Leader.
Yesterday our district got to host the new missionaries
coming in again. There were approximatly 500 new missionaries coming in. Every
person in our district got to host at least three.
A two really funny things that happend earlier this week.
was that one evening while me and Elder Roylance were studying in our Room (I'v
been sick all week), I got pretty hungry (Due to my lack of appetite during the
day). On our floor we have the vendingmachines in our building. Never before
had I used them or sought the advice about how to use them without getting into
trouble. On me I had a five dollar bill and with it bought a 80 cent bag of
Garlic Ray chips. It doesn't seem to bad right now. But when I went to get my
change I realized that it only has the capability of giving change in coin
form. So for the next ten minutes (I am Not exagerating) I was sitting on the
floor in front og the machine in my pajamas with a blancket and whenever the
machine decided to spit out a coin I would grab it. Afterwards I had gotten
back 2.90 in Nickles and Dimes. I never made that mistake again.
Later that same night I was writing in my Journal when all
of the suden elder Lawrence comes running in yelling "AHHH! DOG
FOOD!" and than proceeds to yell/explain that he was playing the jellybean
game where you have to choose from two beans and test your luck (it's like
gambling with your tongue). Afterwards he then ate another been out of the bag
he was carrying and yelled even louder "AHHHHH!!! IT'S LIKE A CHEMICAL
REACTION!!!!" then he slamed his face onto his bed and started yelling the
First Vision in Russian.
Life is never dull without Elder Lawrence.
I will try to keep you all updated as best as I can. But I'm
pretty busy here. Especially because I need learn Russian.
Love you all. I'll see if I can get some pictures sent.
Elder Clawson
