Hi everyone!
So this is my last update email before I hit the field! We got our flight plans on Saturday and are super super excited! Our first flight is from SLC to the Netherlands, and then we go from there to Hungary!! Super excited!!
This week has been a lot of fun! Everyone in my zone has gotten sick, except for me! I haven't been sick my whole MTC, so hopefully it will continue that way! One of my companions got really sick. Last night he asked me to give him a blessing! The spirit was so strong there. And it was right after we watched "Ephraim's Rescue", so it made it that much cooler! He is still sick today though, so we went to the doctors today and it ends up his mucus and stuff from a sinus infection traveled down to his throat. The doctor says he just has to drink a lot of liquid and then it will clear out in a couple of days. But it is kind of funny, the companion that got sick is the one who always tells me that the stuff I am eating is super unhealthy and stuff. One time when I was eating some ice cream he told me that I was going to get a disease in my liver because of the sugar.... Well.... I'm alright taking the chance. He also takes a million supplements every morning and night, and he giets more sick then me and my other companion.... Coincidence, I think NOT!!
Jefferey R Holland's son ,President Holland, came to speak at the Sunday Devotional. He is almost as awesomely cool as his father! He talks very similar to his father. He told us a story about how when he was a bishop he went to a pool for a primary activity. Some of the kids would climb on him and try to dunk him, but he would throw them away into the pool and said that he had "Bishop Power". After a while he had the whole primary climbing on him trying to dunk him. One of the visiting children, that he knew who was the son of another bishop, climbed around his neck and started to squeeze as hard as he could. As President/Bishop Holland turned purple and passed out, his last memory was of the kid in his face saying "my dad is also a bishop, but he uses his power to do good things", and then the bishop passed out... That would be a very exciting primary pool party!!
This week an Elder in the other Hungarian district decided to do 30 pushups during each 5 minute break we had. SO I decided later that night to see how many pushups I could do without stopping... The number was pretty good! After I did those I remembered that I wanted to try the ones where you clap behind your head between each one.... Well.... I was exhausted... I got my first one. But it wasn't very loud, so my second one... Well, I wasn't quick enough. I landed on my nose and just sat there with my face one the group for a minute or two trying to comprehend what had just happened. My companion that was in the room thought that it was pretty funny. I have this big carpet burn on my nose (I'll try and send pictures later today).
This week in a lesson I was talking about how we could live together as families forever in the Celestial kingdom if we are righteous. Well... I told the investigator that we could live forever with her family in the Celestial. It wasn't supposed to be very funny, but we all laughed a lot and we were barely able to finish the lesson because we would be keep laughing and stuff!
Well this time in the MTC has been great!! And I am sooo excited to go into the field!
Love you all!!
Elder Biesinger!
