Hey everyone! so this week has been great. I have really started to feel the time fly as I'm here and the schedule is great. This week I can officially say that ive seen every meal 3 times and there are some nasty ones... there is this Chicken Cordon blue that we all call fried hamster cause its just horrible and they seem to feed us it almost weekly. But that's ok we have some good ones like roast and potatoes. But there's always sundae Sunday to look forward to! we get some great BYU creamery ice cream!
Anyways I'm now officially the district leader of my district. So I get to go and get the mail! and other stuff. So I get my flight plans on Friday so that's pretty exciting its crazy how fast it has gone. But it should be a great opportunity to serve and get to know the Elders a little better.
Ditch witching is something my Comp. and I have taken up because we realized we never have any adventures so we decided to change that. So the ditch witch is a small construction machine that we take a picture with every night. It really is quite enjoyable and is now our main adventure so that's the coolest part of the week!
My teachers here are great! I feel like I am learning a lot of Chinese even though some days its harder to focus then others. Something I've tried to work on is keeping myself focused during the class time. My goal is to focus 100% on Chinese during class and then during Ad-Study/Language study I can kind of talk as I work on my flash cards. I think that if I really try to immerse myself during the class it will benefit me a lot.
Well thats about all for the week. Ill let you know my flight plans hopefully next week. Have a great week everyone.
Love Elder Jackson
