Week two in the MTC (prison) and it's awesome. Nothing too special in the MTC the sports are still really funny and hurtful but other then that just same old class and laughs.
This week we got to go out on missionary exchange. It was thee coolest thing ever. It's where we get to leave the MTC and go out with the missionaries from our field for a day and teach and knock doors and things. I was super pumped and I got paired up with two elders. Elder Damuni from Logan, Utah a D1 athlete he's playing football at Stanford and Elder Zacher from Montana he only has a week left in his mission.
They were thee best, I was nervous. But they've had tons of success on their mission because the people here are super chill and relaxed. So that was a blessing. We had a car so we drove about 30 minutes to these MASSIVE houses. They were thee nicest things ever. They had never been there before so they were super shocked. Some of the houses we would try and get in but if they rejected us we asked if we could go the bathroom just so we could get inside.
We knocked doors and had found an Investigator and talked to a family for an hour about religion which was awesome. Then we gave away 5 Books of Mormon! And got a couple referrals. We walked up and apparently one of the mission presidents lived up there so my two companions just walked in and asked if we could have lunch with them and HOLY COW they fed us good. I forgot to mention I've gained 17 pounds in the MTC hahahha. I'll send you a pic of me to see if I look any different. But I thinking I'm sticking to salads for awhile. But it was an awesome experience the people here are thee nicest and it got me beyond excited to get out in the field and actually start teaching. Not that I don't love the MTC and all the people I've met here I'm just ready to get out and PREACH.
LOVE YOU GUYS,
Elder Cushing
