[We
didn’t get an email from Andrew but we received a written letter from him on Monday,
June 13 - typed below:]
Hey Mom!
I didn’t get an email and
didn’t have time to write one so I am just going to write a letter!
Um, this week at the MTC
has still been about the same.. Weird food, extreeemely looong classes, and
teaching lots of lessons! I did have a couple cool/funny things happen this
week! I got to clean the Temple today! (Tuesday) which was a way cool experience!
We cleaned the initiatory (idk if that’s how you spell it), and the youth
waiting area, also the waiting room for sealings! We were there for about 3 ½ hours
but I didn’t feel like it!
I am still waiting to hear
about my visa (I think I am going to get reassigned). We have gone to the
travel office a couple of times but they are completely useless and do nothing
but sit in front of their computers…
Could you look up “You
Never Know” on Mormon Channel? It’s a website and the whole video made me think
of the way you are! Thank you for all you do!!
But some things that were
funny this week… We started teaching
each other and me and my companion taught Elder Parker and Delano; neither like
each other very much, and their personalities clash like nothing else. haha So
we started teaching and when we teach we like to find out about the
investigators and Elder Parker (Brandon, his investigator) mentioned he liked
to play the trombone. Well Elder Delanos face lights up (He was a “member” in
the lesson) and he just blurts out “Eu trombone tam bien!” (I’m trombone as
well!) All of this is in Portuguese by the way, but then Elder Parker pretty
much yells in English “Oh! You’re a trombone too!?” So yeah haha it pretty much
ruined the lesson, but it was sooo funny!
But yeah, I wanna go to
Africa sooo bad!! It’s the worst… We call the MTC the Spiritual Prison on Earth. haha It’s honestly the weirdest thing to think that I’m not gonna see you guys
for 2 years and it’s only been 4 weeks! A lot has already changed with my plans
when I get back… I don’t know which school I wanna go to, if I wanna come out
here to work or just stay out there… but that’s all stuff I can figure out
after the mission.
Anyways… Tell me about everything
that goes on! I miss you guys!
Love you!
Elder Dawson
