Thats it! Pun-cakes is cancelled!

(Elder Slade)

To the best Friends and Family a person could hope for,

This has been a crazy week, and there's a lot I could tell you, but I'll try to keep it short. It feels like a month has gone by, not a week. So first, Thursday night last week I was called to be the district leader of our district in the MTC! It seems crazy, because I thought that if I ever became the district leader it would be when I had 6 months left on my mission or something like that, but my second day I was called. At times I feel a little overwhelmed, but the Lord is definitely helping support me at times. I love my district! We have 6 Elders and 4 Sisters. We have laughed so hard at times, and we learn so much from each other. It's crazy to me how in just one week you can get so close to a group of people.

Our days spent at the MTC are strictly scheduled with two 3 hour class periods in the morning and in the afternoon, along with workshops every other day or so, and lots of study time.In class we mainly focus on how to teach and the lesson material themselves. We also teach lessons every other day where we teach a nonmember, or a member who's an actor and pretends to be a nonmember. This week, Elder Lavold and I have been teaching a woman named Laura. We love teaching her! I love it at the MTC as well, and feels so good to know that I am going about doing the Lord's work!

My title comes from a breakfast where we had pancakes and Elder Lavold had the idea to do pun-cakes, where you try to think of as many puns as possible (I love Elder Lavold!). I thought it was a great idea, and gave a few puns. However when a sister in our district found out, Sister Hayes, she must have spouted 10-15 puns in a row, with almost no stop. Elder Lavold was speechless, and did not how to respond by this amazing display of wit and punnery. I guess you could say he was tongue-"tied" (you get it! Because we were wearing ties! Lol). Eventually he just said "That's it! Pun-cakes is cancelled!".

Anyways, thanks for your prayers and support. I unfortunately am not allowed to search things online, so my potato jokes will be pretty lame and a little bit familiar. but...

What do you call a potato that is trying to find inner peace?

A medi-tator!

Pictures:

1. The best district ever!!

2. A giant bag of sour patch kids Elder Lavold got. (What kind of person opens bags from the middle! You just can't do that! He claimed it was like opening a tissue box. *shaking my head*)

3. Elder Lavold and I in front of a beautiful mural (there's so much beautiful art in the MTC)

4. Us on the roof, with the temple in the background.
