Milk it does a body Good!!


 I hate spending all of p-day on a plane but I'm finally back on Kosrae. No Box yet. Guam was so awesome. Basically in training all day straight for 4 days and a service project after the end of day 4. Butt the lunches we had were amazing. And you should look up the recipe for Hawaiian haystacks or whatever they are called.I also hit up taco bell this past week. we ordered for about 10 people in one car and loaded up. The stores on Guam are nice and I finally had milk that I could drink straight. I learned a lot of good stuff this past week and got to tract around Guam and contact some of the Guam elders' Kosraean referrals. I sat in a pew at church and it felt weird to have a pianist and everything. When we got the tsunami alert we were close to the office and so we had to go and call all the zones. President Dowdle locked down the mission and we stayed at the institute building for a long while and played ping pong. Then we went home and went to bed. We barely got any news coverage but the tsunami threat was pathetic for pretty much anywhere but japan. There were some big waves on Guam but it really just affected the beach side of things and some of the resorts. Small clean up job. Meeting a bunch of new elders was really fun and I like a lot of them. I also got to see Valinotti! We were at the service project and I was getting a doughnut from some members and when they moved he was like "I know you're not going to ignore me" It was sweet, and he's doing well. I didn't get to see Butler. But from what I hear he can spit Chuukese and is just tearing it up. I can't wait to see him again. This past week has really made me appreciate the kind of elders in this mission. Chilling with Phillipinos, New Zealanders, Hawaiians, and just some of the coolest Americans you could meet is just awesome. I got a few more brothers this week.  It was nice to get some quality time with President and he's just the man. I really don't know what else to say, Ive got to get everything sorted here again and I'm really hungry. I love you all and I hope you are doing well. It was nice to hear news from home. And man I've got a lot of letters to write. Sorry to those of you I have'nt gotten back to.
