Elder M is
an amazing missionary; dedicated, obedient, and bold. He is the
second oldest of seven children and I can’t remember his Moms and Dads
name (he looked at me funny when I asked just now). He has been in the
mission field for about 8 months now (twice as long as me), and his
only other area was M (where Elder A and Elder M’s' previous companion
are now).
All I know about is family or his
hobbies before his mission are that he has an older brother who is recently
returned from his own mission, and that his
family isn't weird enough to sing to him on the phone
for Christmas. (Thanks again for that!) ; P
I also know that he played soccer
in High School and that he likes to kick a soccer ball around a
bit for morning exercise.
I don't think he has any
strong dislikes aside from I now he’s not a huge fan of tomatoes
or raisins (and who can blame him!), and he is developing a healthy
aversion to Pierogies, as anyone would after eating nothing else for about a
month straight. Admittedly we made some poor
shopping decisions this month, and our diet has suffered as a result.
We have been subsisting mainly on pierogies, frozen pizzas, microwavable burritos, tater tots, and sour cream on all of
the above. As such, most of our conversations not involving missionary work
revolve around how bad we smell, how fat we are getting, or how poor we are
because we spent all our money on garbage food.
Pranks? That would
be immature and unprofessional! As a representative of
Jesus Christ I would never... tell anyone about the kinds of pranks we
pull when nobody is looking. ;D
We do sing a lot, seems like. A lot
of Hymns and EFY songs, but occasionally something will get an
"apostate" tune stuck in your head, and you can’t keep it there so
you have to get it out somehow. ; P
Elder M runs funny! But I
thing that's because he’s trying to jog in out tiny apartment and
that a bit hard because... it’s tiny. And it’s WAY TOO COLD to
go outside in the morning. So we have perfected 7 different ways of
running like an idiot indoors. I’ll have to tell you about them some other
time. :)
That’s not everything about
Elder M but I think that answered some of your questions at
least. :)
