Hello all!
I don't have much time today, Pres. Heid is just letting me
email home real quick to let you know I made it to my first area, but I'll try
to include as much as possible. Sending pictures may be a challenge, though, so
I'll see what I can figure out and try to send as many as possible.
The last week has been crazy! Just to make Ben happy; while
I was at the MTC, we were out playing bball one day, and I was actually scoring
the majority of the points for our team! So I was pretty proud of myself. But
that was until we had teams of like 7 vs. 8, so I stopped playing, haha.
Also, I just got to my first area, and pretty much
everything that can go wrong has!! Our ECG (electricty card) was broken in our
apartment, so no power. My mosquito net was broken, so we had to rig it with an
old belt. Then in the morning, since the water is connected to the power, I had
to take a bucket shower. Those are lame, haha. But then after I got dressed, I
was leaving my room and my shirt caught on the door and it ripped in the back,
so I've only been gone a week and I'm already down a shirt. Then later that
day, some crazy dark clouds rolled in and we had to park our bikes at a
member's shop and they gave us a ride. So it's been pretty crazy.
But it's been interesting, too! We met with three people
yesterday, and they were all very different. The first lady was on one
extreme--she kept looking at her phone and watching TV and everything. The next
guy was curious, but he had questions because of things he heard from the
Bible, but he agreed to meet with us again. Then the last guy was the
definition of a golden investigator. He was so interested and believed the
church was true and everything! So that was great. I love my trainer. His name
is Elder Saunders, and he's an American!! I was so excited. I know that God
does hear and answer our prayers. I had been praying for an American, someone
that knew how I felt, and that's what I got! He reminds me of Cameron Royce,
haha.
Also, we have chickens around our apartment, and they keep
crowing and waking me up at like 5:50, and it reminds me of JT Cluck, haha (Dad
will understand).
Michelle, will you send me a workout plan that I can do
without machines or weights or anything so I can stay fit? Also, Bro. Malmrose
and the area 70 at the MTC said he felt like he was on a cloud when I played my
arrangement of Come Thou Fount. I'm glad to be in the field.
I need to go, I only have like 2 minutes left until my
computer shuts me off. I love you all so much, and I'll email again on Monday!!
I miss you, and love you.
Love,
Elder Daniel Buchanan
