Okay so I skipped last week cause these pdays in the MTC could barely be considered p-days (preparation days). We go to the temple every p-day but its an
hour drive so the whole adventure ends up being 4 hours and then we end up
having 2-3 hours to write emails, clean, and do the rest of p-day stuff so I get
a little distracted but turns out nothing exciting happened this week so ill
tell last weeks stories and trust me they good.

Elder Shanklin and his district
Ultimate frisbee at the CCM is pretty intense especially if
you get the right group of people. Apparently my district is the right group of
people cause with 5 minutes left of gym time it was 11-10 my team was up. We
were pushed against our goal line and I had the frisbee. My thought was to just
bomb it to the other end of the field so they cant block a throw and be right
next to the endzone..... that was my plan at least. Ends up when I pulled back
my arm to throw it the defender on me (Rip Elder Falagrady) leaned a little too
far down and on my throw my forearm smacked his face so hard his front 4 teeth
all bent backwards and he immediately started spitting blood... so yah he's okay
now tho, he got to go into the city and see the dentist and got donuts so honestly
w (win) for him.

Some volleyball during free time
Another crazy thing that happened is one night t was raining super hard and 70 dudes all went outside in their underwear and were doing pushups and stuff. All fun and games until someone takes a picture of all of them and the president of the MTC sees it. Luckily I have a district that didn't do it but let me tell ya if I had my friends from high school with me I'd be out there in a heartbeat.
CCM is great! In 2 weeks I get to start teaching the people of Honduras and I couldn't be more excited. Spanish is crazy but if I've learned anything its that miracles are real and trust I'm gonna need one to learn this thing.
