FLAME ON! - CCM

Hola! I've been stoked all week to write this email. Fun Fact: someone should make a mashup of I Feel My Savior's Love and Dreams by the Cranberries. They have the same notes at the start. Eh. They give us boxed chocolate milk here called Choco Melvin with a brown elephant with a human body on the carton, and it tastes exactly like the Yoohoo! chocolate milk I had when I was a tender lad. Everyone go sip a Yoohoo. They're dank. Speaking of dank, try making some "dank sauce," it's equal parts ketchup, mayo, and BBQ sauce, then smothered in Tahin and mixed all together. It's killer, and it makes the food here taste better, but the food still... uhhhh... well, just go read Jeremiah 4:19. You'll understand.

Cool stuff this week, it was harder than last week, but I learned a lot more. We learned about Family History and watched a video called "Russell M. Nelson: A Visit From Father." It's super cool, watch it for FHE or something. I'm getting a lot better at teaching lessons, but sometimes I get a bit burned out. Like I said last week, I feel the Spirit with excitement and energy, so when I'm tired (a lot this week) I can't teach by the Spirit as well. When I do teach by the Spirit though, its crazy how much the Lord can help you with Spanish and knowing what to say. It's awesome.

We got to go to the temple last week, it was so rad. One of the most unique looking temples, and speaking spanish the whole time was really interesting. Really awesome to see first hand that the church is so widespread, and so many people are able to partake in the blessings of the Gospel and the temple.

We made up a game yesterday called Bunkball, its played on a tennis court with a volleyball, 6 on 6. You serve it like volleyball, it can bounce one time once it crosses to the other side before anyone touches it, then after it's touched, you have a total of 3 hits and 1 more bounce to get it back over. It's a lot harder and more fun than it sounds. give it a try.

Everyone listen to Me and Michael. It's the greatest song in history. (Besides Hymns and Rappers in the Aisle.)

Elder Kotter is still a beast, he's the coolest guy. If you guys know the scripture that goes along the lines of "through service you will receive wisdom" let me know, because he's been searching for it. All of our district is getting along better and better. Its really cool to see everyone start to be comfortable and open to each other. Were writing a rap song together about the CCM to perform to the new missionaries. Gonna be TIGHT.

Speaking of tight rap songs, Elder Parr and I have a surprise for you all, that should be attached to this email or sent later. Give it a crisp ol listen, we spent a whole 15 minutes on it. #RitA4EVER

Everyone, I really do miss (most of) you (got em), this week especially. You should send me a personal email because I wanna chat with you but I don't have your emails. Now go read your Book of Mormon, you know you should read it more. Seeya soon.

Todos los amores, Elder Jenkins
