Alright so i said before that the food is decent here right? Well just when i was starting to actually really like it the shift of meals we would get all changed and weve has some pretty interesting stuff put on our plates lately. The best of this, the other day we got some sort of T-bone pork thing, where we all had a slice of pork with two rib bones in it coming off of a vertebrae, and some sort of unexplained third bone coming out of some of them. But anyways, I draw your attention to the vertebrae bone in the meat, ya it still had what we are pretty confident was the spinal chord in it, since there was a little circle whole in the bone stuffed with stretchy and rubbery tissue in it which we concluded was either spinal chord or some similarly functioning tissue... weird stuff... so what did we do? Ya we dared each other to eat it of course and called anyone who wouldnt do it whimps... So i mean to defend my man card i did partake, yes, hahaha it was a blast, we all plucked out the white guck and had it ready on our fork and ate it on a third count, it was tangy and couldnt really be bitten, so after a few attempts of trying to chew it and getting more grossed out with each chomp i just kind of swallowed it and we all laughed and looked at each other with hilarious expressions wondering first what on earth we had just done, and second how freaky it is that soon we are gonna have stuff much worse than that put on our plates out in the field, and we are gonna have to eat it with composure, not with grossed out faces and laughter like we did here haha, but so ya that was fun!!
Other than just typical class the only other exciting stuff that has gone on in the past few days is the prank battle Elder Winchester and I are in! He always gives me crap for having shoes with laces cuz it takes me maybe a few seconds longer to get ready in the morning haha, so one day he stole one of my laces as a joke and i went a few days with just one shoe lace and one shoe that was constantly almost falling off (until i finally got down my suitcase to wear my other shoes). He then hid it by tying it into the volleyball net, right in plain sight, and i still didnt notice it for a few days haha, but when i finally did, i got him back pretty good! I took it down late one night when he wasnt around (he didnt know that i had finally noticed it there) and then when we came to set up the net the next day during gym he saw that it was gone and kind of paniced thinking one of the workers had taken it or something (there is construction on the side of the gym so workers are always walking by and moving the net). He confessed to me that he had put my lace in the net and had now lost it, and i made sure he asked all the workers if they had taken it, acting like i didnt know where it was... it was hilarious seeing him stumbling to explain the situation in spanish to the workers haha... and then i tied the lace onto the waist string on his sweat pants he wears at night, so when he put them on that night he saw it and realized that i had had it the whole time and everyone laughed a ton and it was a blast!!! Then some of the latinos in our room helped me lift his bed up and take the bars that hold it up out, except the ones on the end, so that his bed sat there ok with nobody on it, but that night he ran and jumped onto it and it collapsed and we all laughed super hard and i took the lead with my second point!! He tied it up big time this morning though cuz he took the screws out on my closed door and set my door back neatly so that when i opened it it collapsed, falling hard to the ground with a loud thud and scaring me pretty good... i give him props for that and gotta think of something good now... so thats been a blast!!!
Well its all still going well, weve got a new block of latinos coming in today and i will have one of them as my companion now that its my last block, ive loved it here but am now really looking forward to move on and get to Cali too... Keep enjoying life in the states, sigan leyendo las escrituras cada dia y miren para oporunidades para compartir este evangelio, tambien sigan pagando el diesmo porque necesitamos mas comida dulce (snacks in some of the classrooms) aqui en el CCM, enserio jaja, yo se whoops so i hit some button that sent that right before i finished it, the keyboards son un poco diferente aqui en Sur America, pero yo se que esta iglesia es la iglesia verdadera y que ustedes estan haciendo todo lo que necesitan hacer para seguir el ejemplo de Jesucristo. Lo hagan mas, y ayuden a otras personas para seguir Su ejemplo tambien!
les amo
nos vemos
Elder Tenney
