If baking a pizza counts as cooking then yes I did cook. Or rather I bought a bunch of pizzas and Elder Tabor cooked and we had an apartment meal together since Elder Tabor is training someone new as well, Elder Hamblin. But even if I didn't cook Elder Seitz and Elder Hamblin would have been fine because unlike me they brought in a horrifying amount of food with them:
This is only half of Elder Seitz' stuff. The rest is jammed full in our fridge with Elder Hamblin's stuff. Elder Seitz told me that his mom made him bring all this stuff. Elder Seitz is from Vernal, Utah. He's a really nice guy and we're having a blast together, and I think he really looks up to me which is good. Here's a picture of us from left to right, Elder Seitz, Me, Elder Tabor, Elder Hamblin:
I had a lot of reasons for sending my iPod home. First of all, I need the "How to Train your Dragon" soundtrack taken off as it was deemed inappropriate. Second, I already have all the [Mormon Tabernacle Choir] CDs you've mentioned except for the last two but go ahead and put them all on my iPod because they'll be nice to have. Also I love every song on Come Thou Fount except for "Rock-A-My Soul" and "Old Time Religion", those [songs] drive me nuts. But I'm surprised you don't like "Jericho" because I think that song is epic (maybe because it's all A Cappella.) And I love the extra manly version of "You Raise Me Up" and it's the only one I'll ever be able to stand, I listen to it all the time. Now you've hurt my feelings. Anyway the third reason why is (and try not to laugh) I've been trying to learn Swedish with the limited resources that I have. I've been reading a lot of Swedish books here at the library, reading (and listening to) scriptures and conference talks on lds.org in Swedish, and I got a little chart for pronunciation. I'm slowly getting the hang of it but it's still really hard without listening to it so I was wondering if you could find some sort of language thingies and put it on my iPod so I can try learning. Again try not to laugh. (Because everyone here is already making fun of me for trying to learn.) Oh and an English/Svenska dictionary would be nice.
I'm pretty good at finding stories on my own but if you want you can try sending me more (or just add them yourself because you can do that.)
Your description of the horse riding seemed a little bit more negative than Dad's, I think he may have enjoyed it more.
Okay well I'm having a good week, or had a good last week, even, and I don't have anything to complain about because I'm getting more and more confident. The letters you send really help I just wish it was the same with my friends, but I guess they're all busier than me or something.
Okay I love you bye bye,
Elder Larson
