Hello Again! MTC 11.9.2018

*For anyone wondering...Justin has a scale of 1 to 7 that he judges his days by.  So the fact that his week has been a 6.5 is actually a really positive thing. :)



 Well, one could say that I "survived" the first week of the MTC.  Which is a good thing. It's not too bad over here. my roommates/companion can be very loud for several hours at a time, but they are still some of the most loving people I've met. 

As far as the first round of questions, here goes:

1. I'd like to think that my week has been a solid 6.5. 
2. If I'm smiling, I should think I am, but can't exactly see my face all the time. 
3. I don't really like chocolate milk in general, so I haven't tried it, however, they have Minute Maid apple juice, so      I'm happy. 
4. I did make it to the Temple last Friday, and will be going again today, so I'll try to get you some pictures.

My typical day isn't nearly what I thought it was going to be like. Going in, I thought that it was going to be Sunday School and Elders Quorum all day, every day, so I was pleasantly surprised. It has a lot of class time, but also plenty of personal/companion study time. Granted, not nearly enough studying is being done during those times, but we are working on it.

Brooklyn is right, plaid is the only appropriate attire for a Hoe Down. I don't really think Dad's shirt looks all that plaid, but that's allright.

Sorry, this e-mail isn't full of pictures, but I left my camera back at the residence, so I'll get some to you later today after we go to the temple. Also, quick question for Matt if he ever reads this, I can't quite remember the couple things he changed in the last six months of his mission, and I would love to hear them again, and write it down this time.

Au loloma kemudou!

This last picture is a prank on Elder Ramsey due to him messing up a room just before inspection, 
but hey, it all worked out!

Well...I've Been Hit by a Car (Week #12)

                                      Bula Vinaka! Well, good news, we have some pictures!  Yay! Bad news, I forgot to take many, so we have 3! Also bad news, I've been hit by a car. This past week has been pretty good. I celebrated my birthday, it was kind of weird without having to celebrate 3 in a row like we used to do, but hey, I'm 1 year older now. And maybe wiser, we'll have to see on that part. Other good news, I am feeling pretty healthy. However, Elder Jessee wasn't feeling the best, so we had to go down to Nausori town to go to the doctors. He's doing good now, but we went on my birthday, and the Zone Leaders said, "Hey, let's go find food for your birthday." So we got some fancy food, and cheesecake, which was really good.                                       ...

And so it begins... Mission Papers Submitted:                 June 24, 2018 Mission Call Assigned:                      June 28, 2018 Mission Call Received and Opened:  July 9, 2018 Wow!  That was fast!  Justin will be going to the Provo MTC on October 31, 2018 to serve in the Fiji, Suva Mission speaking Fijian (or at least attempting to) for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.  When Tommy heard that Justin had been called to serve in Fiji...he dropped everything and came over in his sulu to share some memories with Justin.  It was incredible!  He even gave Justin his very first sulu and Fijian Book of Mormon.  We couldn't have asked for a better finish to an amazing day!

Well...I Guess This is It! 12/7/2018

As the title says, this is it. I'm leaving the MTC in the next couple days, and to be honest, I'm stressing just a little bit. But I guess that's normal. My experience here has been really great for the most part, but I'm also a little ready to leave. The problem is I'm not exactly ready to go. But I guess that's alright, seeing as I'm leaving on Monday.  I've decided that there haven't exactly been a whole lot of pictures, and there probably won't be a whole ton in this e-mail, but I have decided that Elder Collier could be one of the models on the guidelines for mission appropriate clothing. Unless you consider his feet, which wear the Jerusalem Cruisers. Seeing as I for some reason can't send pictures right now, I'll just tell you about the rest of my week. It got very cold suddenly, but snow will do that.  I also want to insert this line from a song to demonstrate how breakfast has been going: When I was a lad I ate 3...
