But, who's counting right?!

Anyway, last night my letter through dearelder.com went something like this:

stubot, stubot, stubot, stubot,
stubot, stubot, stubot, stubot,
stubot, stubot, stubot, stubot,
stubot, stubot, stubot, stubot,
stubot, stubot, stubot, stubot,
stubot, stubot, stubot, stubot,

I did this only because he would have had the courtesy to do the same...

Of course, I wrote a few more things to him... :)

Elder Jakins to Janae Jakins

"haha I've come to the conclusion that my companion is like Dwight from the office just not as cool haha but yesterday I had the inspired thought that I didn't choose my district and i didn't choose my companion but i DID choose to serve a mission and if my district and companion are a part of that then so be it :D so my parents should have my MTC address getting a letter from the kids would be pretty sweet. Thanks for the email too! but I can only check email on thursdays and only for a half hour <.<

anyways I hope everything is going well, I have a picture on my phone that I took for dale and so when i get my other memory card back i'll send it home and hopefully they'll upload it to facebook and you guys can see it because its awesome ^-^"

Update from the MTC

I just got off the phone with Rob who spoke with his Bro, Jesse, Stu's Fijian teacher. Sorry if the details aren't what you hoped for, you know men and their lack of details, i.e. the birth weight, baby length, length of finger nails, skin tone, number of hair follicles...etc.

Stu introduced himself as "Hi I'm Elder Jakins, and I like to play video games" everyone laughed.

Jesse said Stu is doing a stellar job, humble, just as good if not better than all the groups of missionaries that have come through before.

Said the whole group is doing well, no contention, no clicks, no drama, etc. Said they're a really good group.

When Jesse went to Fiji, he didn't use the language he learned for the first year he learned a whole new language, Rotuman or something like that....not to be confused with Romulan...

Rob said Jesse was just raving about Stu and it sounds like he's doing awesome. I asked if it gets frustrating at some point learning the language... he didn't say if he knew. I just think that's a miracle, these missionaries really are guided by the Lord in learning this language that will bless ALL people from ALL nations.

MTC

So my friend Rob's brother is the Fijian teacher in the MTC. He said there are 11 missionaries in Stu's group that are going to Fiji (the largest group in his 3 years that he's been teaching there). Rob said that these teachers get really close to their groups and each one is more amazing than the one before. I think they also mentioned that in the family meeting yesterday.

Anyways, if I get any snippets, I'll post updates.

October 1st, 2008

So, people. The Stubot has been delivered, safe and well not really sound to the MTC because mom, and sisters were in tears!!

Anyway, here are some pictures of the eventful day. Milo wore his "theme" shirt to celebrate Fiji Suva Mission, and the other nice chap in the photos, well, that's Sam.
