MTC Week 5: Real Situation

Check out the real situation
Nation war against nation
Where did it all begin? when will it end?
Well it seems like
Total destruction is the only solution"

Real situation- Bob Marley

So this week was... another week in the prison which is the mtc. we are all going completely insane!! we have decided that this crazy amount of media deprivation is making us way more creative (or in other words... totally insane).  we have thought of the craziest stuff that we never would have otherwise. 

 we have started drawing ¡Paco! which is where we start with a normal animal and keep adding insane features until we have the craziest creature thing drawn on the board. And his name is always Paco.  it's fun.  I'll send pictures and explain some of them.  we also constantly come up with the funniest band names,  and song names. 

when I get back,  Lang and I are starting a punk band called definitely plugged up.  first album will be called schmacked. I'll send a picture of the album cover.  

One good memory of this week is when Elder Richey, Elder Lang and I were standing in a row at the urinals harmonizing to take it easy by the Eagles.  that was pretty funny.  

This Sunday we had the piano guys for our devotional. it was pretty cool,  he is crazy good at the cello! they played one of their Christmas song videos where they used a grand piano and everyone was plucking and tapping all over it.  one guy used a piece of paper with something under it so it wasn't quite touching what it was on,  and it made a great snare drum sound,  so we have implemented that into our makeshift drum set.  if I could send videos,  I would send one of us jamming on uke and cardboard box drums. but email doesn't really work with videos.  

The funniest thing about this week was the two days after we did leg day at the gym.  Elder Lang,  Elder bly and I all are pretty active so we do a decent amount of working out. my companion,  Elder dyerly  is not at all used to that.  he's never done leg day before in his life,  which means you get rrrreeeaaalllly sore afterwards.  so those two days he was hobbling around like an old man.  it was super funny.  it's probably a good thing he only has one more week with us... we are all sorta relentless haha.  oops. but so is he,  and so are we with everyone else in our district.  it's pretty great. 

Now that I have my uke,  I take it with me wherever I go.  it is the greatest thing ever.  I'm having everyone I know here sign it,  and I'm putting all of our inside jokes on it,  so it's covered in writing.  I love it. 

We found out that Chris Farley didn't actually die. he just became a Mormon and works at the mtc. I saw him at the devotional last night.  it was so funny! 

Update: the no nips rule is still working.  

Otter than that this week was just another week.  spiritual stuff... well,  nothing crazy awesome or worth sharing.  just normal missionary stuff.  I'll talk to you all in a week!

Here are a few pictures.  some of my signed uke,  my haircut (yes I finally did it >:( not happy about that but oh well) a few at the temple with Elder Richey and battiloro.  the rest are of dyerly.
