Week #3 letter

Here is William's latest letter to us (not paraphrased)---

Hey! so now that we're in the groove I get super duper bored all the time. The best times are where I can just sit and look at a tree or sit on the grass. haha.  Thanks for sending all of those pictures.

So tomorrow we are getting 4 new french missionaries and the week after we are getting 43!!!  It's really weird being the "oldest" french missionaries.

I dont really know what to say this week, it went by super fast and nothing that exciting happened. Sheri Dew (Pres and CEO of deseret books) came and had a fireside.  That was pretty cool.

I think the hardest part so far is learning new concepts that I've never heard of, in french, and then teaching them, in french, and then responding to questions that people pose, in french because I didn't teach it very well, because I dont speak french.

I looked in the mirrior yesterday morning and noticed that I'm getting a gut. I weighed myself. 174.5. that's a new record. Elder Bowles has porked up too, so thats not good.

My district and I got to do some of the names grandma gave me today. That was super neat. I really want a temple in Chico. We could put it on the Skyway or on the other side of that canyon.  Temples are the coolest.

People still call me Neil Diamond and ask me to sing "Sweet Caroline" allll the time. I'm a celeb. Another thing that people, random people, come up to me and ask me is to lick my elbow. Elder Chelson told EVERYONE.

In my dreams now I am always wearing missionary clothes. It's pretty weird (and some of them have been in french).

I really miss having Josh Smith as a room mate. Tell his mom to tell him to write me. I miss how it was with Josh. In the soccer picture you sent with the entire team, I WAS CUT OUT! you can see like my ear and some of my cheek. and its really pixelated. I really miss soccer, but im not gonna play soccer here. It's so dangerous! I would say 10% of the missionaries in the MTC have a cast or a brace, most of them are from soccer.

I really miss Chico's heat. It is really hot in Utah, but only becuase you have to wear church clothes. I miss swimming haha.

I got caught dancing by a member of my stake presidency and he sat me down and we talked about why missionaries dont dance. Missionaries share the same title and purpose as Aposoles. and You would not see Richard G Scott doing the Cat Daddy and you would not see Boyd K Packer doing the Stanky Legggg. haha. so I will never dance again. (I would love to see that though by the way.) I think Presidant Eyering would be good at the thizzle dance.
