well I am having a great interesting time in the
CCM and I cant give stuff to you in days but I will give you all the
good stories.
Tuesday I saw Travis and we had a
devotional and I took notes but I forgot what on so lo siento.
Wednesday we got the new recruits there are five people from Olympus
here in the CCM Elder Alder, myself, Elder Monson, Elder Ashcraft, and
Elder Smith. So that is definitely interesting seeing them occasionally.
Oh and today starts the epic tale of the two Elders who want to flirt
with our Hermanas and make their companions do awkward splits. Well two
elders in our zone have been coming into our district room during our
study time to talk with the Hermanas, they completely ignore us, the
Elders, and go straight to talking with the Hermanas, ya weird, we say "Hola, como esta?" and they say "Hola" without looking to see the person
speaking.
Thursday we played foursquare in gym which is always
interesting. I bumped into an old wardie of Ryan Tatton who knows who I
am, so that was interesting. We found this weird orange spider ant bug
things in a bush, so that was weird. The two Elders are flirting with the
Hermanas in class, and in TALL, which is no bueno, and they wont take
the hints 'of we are trying to study' as a reason to leave us alone. The
Big adventure: so Elder Romney can do toe touches, so he was doing them,
and one time he did them, well the last time really, he split his suit
pants! So that was fun and awkward.
We played nine square and volleyball during gym. Hermano
Silva was giving us some feedback on our teaching, he said "Elder Draper
can understand everything I am saying to him right now", but he speaks to
me like a caveman. I am not calling him out because he is not alone in
this practice practice practice. (all in Spanish) We got a huge
rainstorm with hail and the whole shebang, it was awesome, and apparently
my little cul de sac flooded, one elder not in my zone got pictures. The
power went our in our casa, and we have no water pressure yah! That is
fun, actually it kind of was luckily we are closest to the water tower
so we actually had a little water pressure, we just had to let it build
up for a little while.
Now this is Saturday, we made up a stupid but fun game
thing foursquare, tennis, volleyball, soccer mix, it was really fun but we
did so many stupid things. At breakfast Elder Fletcher was squeezing
the butter thing, and it exploded all over, but luckily not him. Class
was good, during our study time one of the flirt Elders came into our
room without his companion! His comp was in the bano but still you don't
do that especially when you ignore the elders in the room, so that set
off a thousand and one alarms in my head, next we go to go get water
from the jug in the hall, and his comp says to me sorry about him he is
doing this with all the hermanas in the CCM. WHAT! ya creepy weird. Well
then after TALL Hermana Collins and Hancock are outside because Collins isn't feeling good, and we leave them be because we can't really help and
then I am standing outside while my comp is in the bano and the Elder
who came in without his comp is talking to the hermanas and he helps Collins up and brushes her off since she was laying down! Another alarm
went off. So we as the Elders that night called a super secret shower
meeting to discuss this problem and it was determined to bring it up in
leadership meeting Sunday.
Sunday we discover he is having problems being motivated,
I am working on trying to love him and be kind despite his crossing the
boundaries. We had great meetings but the best was the devotional by
Hermano Shawn Cates, our director of instruction in the CCM. He is such a
cool guy, he is working on his PHD and he has three kids and they are so
funny. to watch run around the CCM. He gave a fantastic devotional about
The Eye of Faith, remember Lots Wife, and we need to not long for the
past, focus on the future, and be disease, or Never go away, never give
up. and ya it was amazing. we watched a movie about John Tanner.
Monday we played our stupid game and this is the day of
stupid great stories, I got two boxes of doughnuts, happy day. We played
this game during our class which was run around and get your name tag
and toss the other persons if you pick it up, I tossed Elder Fletcher's
onto the roof on accident, luckily it bounced over so we got it. Elder
Drennan had some sauce shotgun out of his meat onto his shirt so he
wiped it up went to eat some, and he got one bite before he got
splattered again. I will send the pictures. Oh and we had this plane fly
over the CCM playing some recording about some fiesta that everyone is
invited to so it was random that is Monday.
Today I got a haircut and it is ROTC buzz style,
which is not what I wanted, but it works so ay that was fun. We did
laundry and we will go play some kickball that is my week.
Sincerely,
Elder Logan Joseph Draper
