Trevin wearing Rick Martinsen's special missionary tie. It was worn by Rick Martinsen (Stuart's business partner) back in the 60's on a New York Mission. It has been given to missionaries close to Rick throughout the years and been to several countries and continents. Trevin feels honored to be given the opportunity to represent. It's one of his favorite ties. The 60's are back!
Hello, Hello!
This week was awesome like always! We got a new Elder in our district Elder Bringhurst. He's awesome, but he's still kind of quiet since he's new. We're halfway done with the MTC time! The days basically just consist of studying personal study, and classroom time in between meals and exercise.
Okay so this week we made a barber shop quartet with me, Elder S, Hill, and Taylor. We sung "Lead Kindly Light" in Spanish, and some other ones, and we sound like N'Sync only ten times better. It's awesome.
We tried to vacuum our room this week, and when Elder Haynie turned it on, the bag just exploded with dust. There was a massive cloud of dust and now we all live in a giant bag of dust. haha We're never vacuuming again.
It's super hard to stay awake in the
classes because they're three hours long, twice a day. So, my teacher quietly
told me I could stand up while we were doing personal study. And so I did, but
nobody knew what I was doing. So they thought I was going to give some huge
revelation that I just received in my study, and it took me like 15 seconds to
realize everyone was staring up at me and waiting. It was a great time.
Okay, for Elder S. He was
rambling off with some technology stuff again, and then I asked him if my alarm clock
could be turned into a strobe light. He told me he could do it f he had a
"rebooter cord transfigurator and some circuit inogulations."
Something like that. And so we're basically going to turn our room into a party
room with disco balls emerging from the walls, and some rappity hippity hop
church hymns. Haha. . . .Some day. Elder S has also bought like
three Dutch books. Good thing we're learning Spanish... I guess learning Spanish
wasn't good enough because he's trying to learn Dutch now. His wisdom is beyond
me.
Story time again. . . I heard Elder S talking with two other
guys by the water fountain outside of our room. So I went out there to see what
was wrong and the water fountain was super hot. Elder S was taking care of
business by scraping the dust and junk that was under the bottom of the
fountain with a pencil. He explained to me why the water fountain was having
problems. I basically just said "Well cool, I'm glad you found one of my
pencils." He was totally scraping off all the crap with my pencil! It was
hilarious. He responded by saying nothing. Haha
Next story. Elder S was super
tired one day during our computer lab language time. So he took a mean snooze.
Underneath the table.... It was great. Then later that day, another guy in my
district was on lds.org
during language time because his wasn't working. Elder S was like,
"Okay guys, let's remember what time it is, and make sure we're studying
the language." Then Elder Ferguson (the other guy) was like "Sawyer,
you were sleeping underneath the table earlier, you don't need to scold me for
my computer not working." hahaha Gold.
Okay, there's a guy in our zone who's
signed onto some college to play basketball. He's apparently super good but he
won't play during gym time because he says "nobody in the MTC is
good..." So humble it hurts.
I love you guys! Send me
