I am sitting here beginning one of the most rushed emails ever, and there is an awesome elder sitting behind my and he just saw the title. He asked, "doesnt that have certain conotations?" I just looked at him and said, "you better believe it."
I would like to make a quick interjection to rhett- I stand corrected. Sharks are definitely not mammals. I tried to come up with some tricky cover up to protect the few remains of my shattered pride, you know, something like the fact that i was referring more to the aggresive mother sharks: mama maulers, or mamauls, but there is not time for such ticky tacky work. I will let you have this one. Twoshay (i didnt know how to spell that so i purposefully spelled it as horribly as i could).
I think the talk on the 19th sounds great. I was hoping to be able to add in something interesting and i think the jet lag will be the perfect spice. I remember what it did to me when i got here, i cant wait to see what it does when i am in front of a couple hundred people. I accept your challenge.
So we have become a bit infamous in the mission for being the zone that always has awesome activities every transfer. Today we topped it all. We planned on having a zone dodgeball day, but after thinking it over we decided to make it our zone vs. all the other madrid zones. It went down gloriously, and we are the dominant zone. I was pretty dominant for the first 5 minutes. Well, that is until a stray ball somehow found its way out of my hand and into a sister's face. No harm done, but i didnt feel too good about that one. After a while we switched it up and started trying out new teams since we had about 50 missionaries there. We did Utah vs. everyone else, people who use the lisp vs. poeple who dont, new missionaries vs. old ones, stuff like that. It was fun and it helped some of the bilbao and malaga people who have been having a hard time with the change get to know some of the mission. President even came and he would even cheer after i acted out an extremely overdramatic death after getting hit by a ball.
Sorry, time is super short, all the locutorios were closed until like 20 minutes ago. Let me hurry and get something worthwhile in.
We have been teaching a lot of really young people lately, So much of our efforts have been focused on youngins. I love teaching people that are younger than me. The lessons just stop being lessons. I love just talking with them and sharing what i have felt and helping them feel it. We do that with everyone but they accept it alot better. We have been teaching a kid who has been staying here with his cousins for the summer. He is from new york and is a total gangsta. We have had some awesome lessons and he has been reading and one time when he prayed he felt something incredible. He was worried with how his parents would accept it but this week he got a call saying that the missionaries talked to his parents and they are being taught and really like it. There are no such things as coincidences (you better believe that is sincere because i dont even know how to spell that word).
Sorry that is brief, but we gotta run to a lesson.
Health is great, life is happy, love is overflowing,
Elder Sky
