5 more days at the CCM!

hello everyone, how are ya?

So I´ve had a few questions this week, first off, Elder Joseph from Haiti thinks I look like Michael Douglass, and I recognize the name but I have no clue who that is, so is he right? Can someone send me a picture so I can see for myself? What the heck is a wharf? Why does my neck only pop one way?

Anyways I forgot to write stuff down to email this week but I´ll try my best to make this as entertaining as possible. Elder Kotter and I have gotten a lot better in our lessons in Spanish with the help of the Lord. The gift of tongues is so real, and we work so well as a companionship. We just play off each other and take turns saying things that actually sort of make sense in Spanish. It´s like in Mario Kart: Double Dash!! when you get a double item box, and I´ll drop a banana peel of faith and Elder Kotter will throw a red shell of truth and scripture. What a guy, he´s so cool. I hope we get to see each other at some point when we get to Córdoba. 

I did a puzzle in the waiting room to get my immunizations checked off. it was of some little kids and a barn. I´m gonna be the travel leader for all the Córdoba missionaries, which sounds like a cool title, but it just basically means I have to bug everyone to have their bags the right weights. Yay me. I ate 15 rolls on thursday. We got to watch part of the Lion King in a devotional, so that was sick deans. I got to play a fish video game on the rowing machine at the gym in the morning, quality graphics, responsive controls, overall I´d give it a 3/3.

I´m getting a haircut later today, and I´m gonna ask for it as short as they are allowed to give me, cuz my hairs getting way too long. I´m sure I´ll probably look like Megamind afterwards, but I´ll send before and after pics and we can all make fun of me together.

There was a really cool devotional we watched by Elder Bednar, all about the Character of Christ and having Christlike love. He talked about how in every situation in the scriptures, Christ´s instinctive reaction was to turn to the welfare of others, never himself. I thought I had a good idea of that before, but Bednar gave so many awesome examples of Christ in the scriptures, as well as people nowadays that demonstrate Christlike love. It was really inspiring and I´m motivated to try to adopt that kind of love into my life, but it´ll take a while.

Thanks everyone for being so awesome, enjoy life back home without me, listen to Rappers in the Aisle and Dream of Mickey Mantle, love ya,

Elder Jenkins
