Week Two - A Bit Better and Rugby!

Hey everybody!!! I'm back!!!

Still haven't kicked the bucket. Isn't that great.

So this week had been a lot better. I have been really busy which has helped a lot. Still working on finding the perfect timing to do everything with my companion, so all those issues haven't been solved but little by little they may be. 

So my room at home was messy to say the least but controlled messy. When i am being forced to room with three other guys, it becomes very apparent that I am actually very organized. So ha, my room at home has always been clean!! I have come to the decision that it is very useful when you share a room to be able to go on long drives or have a day where you don't see anybody, unluckily for me I can no longer do that.... it makes life very hard.

So i have been going crazy trying to do everything the past few days. There is so much to do but so little time to really do anything. I have been learning a lot and progressing as fast as I can. So lets hope I can do it all because whats the point of doing anything if it is not to the best of your ability. 

So I played rugby for the first time since China.... It was fun (we only did tag because people didn't want to get hurt and sent home). The only difficult thing about the game was that I was playing against a team on Tongans.... I may have seen my life flash before my eyes a few dozen times. But everyone is great, people let anyone join in games, and exercise together. Which helps since we have been fed huge meals everyday and don't do anything but sit. I may have gained a bit of weight here. Which is really good because from what I hear about my mission i will lose a lot. 

Talking and making friends with people who have been assigned to the same mission as me has really been a blessing. We have already been able to share information that we know about the mission to one another. Which has helped calm everyone's nerves just a little bit.

My teachers are okay...sometimes very crazy and slightly concerning..... Hopefully everything they are teaching me is true.

OH!! before i forget. I was told that I cannot use my left hand for anything. In parts of Africa it is a sign of disrespect to give or take things using your left hand, I already know that remembering that will take a lot of getting used to. IO am just glad that I am not left handed. It will be weird having using only my right hand as a habbit and trying to break that when the time comes.

I love you all so much. Keep working hard
