Banana Phone

Wow what a week, I don’t even know where to start. so last Wednesday we got to host the new missionaries and the night before I was thinking about my friend Bryce who I hadn’t seen in such a long time, well I’m seeing all the kids I know while hosting and then I’m taking one of them to get to his stuff and the book store and I’m waiting for him to come out and I look to my left and see my friend Bryce who I hadn’t seen in such a long time. It was a blessing to me and the lord blesses us for doing his work.

I have soo many new friends here and I’m finding connections all over the place and it is crazy. There is another Elder Barrett (spelled Berrett) but he is my new pal and he is awesome. We got a new district this week and they are soo cool there are 6 elders and 2 sisters. We all get along so well most the time. There has already been some problems with people getting mad at each other for little things so other than that everyone has been great. We have this joke where everyone talks on their banana phone, it’s really funny to us.

On Sunday going to the temple walk I saw this little kid with these wheel things on his shoes and I started to sing some song but changed the lyrics to sing about his shoes and one of the members of the branch presidency came out of nowhere and got really mad, kinda weird.

I am the new district leader, and have a lot of responsibility, but it is awesome and I love it. I love learning Spanish it is soo fun but so hard at the same time. During one of our lessons the other day I was trying to say you need to "practice" I accidentally said you need to "sports" but it’s a good thing our investigator is super funny and just laughed about it. He is really funny and loves reading the book of Mormon which is just awesome. During our lesson on Monday, there was a bug flying around distracting everyone so I saw it in front of my face stood up mid-sentence and smacked it down, sat back down and continued to teach the lesson.

I’m having so much fun and I know this church is true and I wouldn’t be here if I didn’t.

Much love, Elder Barrett
