Fools in April

Well, let's make this quick. The reason this weeks email is a day late is because we had a zone temple day and so our p-day was moved to today. Here's a run down. Conference happened this week, and my, my what a conference it was! The abridgement had a lot to cover. My personal favorite was the one from the Sunday Morning session about the boat about to sink, and how the spirit is not something we can simply dust off and use when it's convenient. And congrats Russia! I don't know where yet, but good job getting yourself out there.

I, in the mean time, caught a virus that clogged up my sinuses pretty badly. In response to this, Elder Maxwell, Elder Schmidt, and Elder Taka played an early April Fools' Day prank on me by giving me an unmarked bottle and saying-"Drink it, you'll feel better. Drink the whole thing."

So I did.

Little did I know, I had just drank an entire bottle of milk of magnesia. If you didn't know, milk of magnesia is a wonderful creation that turns your insides into liquid and then shoots them out of you at lightning speeds for a few days. It was rough. I lost a lot of weight, a little blood, and all of my voice. I don't think the sounds I made during this experience will stop haunting Elder Durrant or Elder Taka any time soon.

As for Easter, thanks everyone for the cards and packages and notes!! We made a little video we will try to share through drive. You will like it. (If it works)

Today we went to the temple, and after that, to Seven Brothers. I got the "Tama Samoa Burger", and when you see the picture, you'll notice how big that thing is, and I conquered it!! Haha! Take that Samoa!

I love you all! Have a great week! Aloha!

P.S. Next week is transfer week so send any mail to the mission office until I know for sure where I'll be.
