What's shakin' people

FIRST THINGS FIRST: Had an AWESOME day at our mission-wide P-day (our day off) activity that lasted ALL DAY all day

That guy I'm next to in the Yellow shirt was my follow-up trainer Elder Allapitan! He's awesome. And the back row was my last Companion Elder Robinson! He's super awesome too.

 

We had a ton of fun playing sports and other fun outside things! Like tug-of-wars, soccer, water balloon toss, ultimate frisbee, and this fun event called

 

THE CHUBBY BUNNY.

So the point of the chubby bunny is to have two representatives from each zone to put a marshmallow in their mouth and then say "Chubby Bunny". Then to put in another 'mallow in and saying Chubby bunny again. Without swallowing or spitting up or dying. So we had the first wave of people go up, and last years record was like 17 And that was hit by my mission "grandfather" (My trainer's trainer) Elder Tui'ketei.

So this group of people went up and set a new record of 19! Which was pretty cool.

Then the second wave happened. I was chosen! I felt like I had to as a sort of missionary heritage/tradition. Like that was my family title I had to WIN that thing.

Thirty three. Flippin. Marshmallows. In my mouth. It was disgusting and glorious.

BUT I LOST. By ONE. If I had just waited ten seconds she would have choked and I would have tied. Sister I-don't-rememeber (the one in a blue shirt and a Tonga baseball hat) beat me.

I was devastated and have not eaten a marshmallow flavored thing since.

But it was still an amazing day! Had a wonderful time hanging out with other missionaries and playing games. Which is going to make this mission split terrible :(

So the boundaries have been announced. The Taylorsville zone (Yellow shirts) and me and my companion (and two sister missionaries) are going to go to the Salt Lake West Mission, which goes all the way to the Nevada border. And all the ones in Blue and Red (except me and the other three missionaries) are going to the SLC East mission which goes all the way into Wyoming.

A lot of really cool missionaries are going to that East mission and I'll be sad. But a lot of cool ones are going West with me too, and it's not like I can't email these people. But it'll be sad.

I've got approxamitely 1 and a 1/3 of a mission left. That's weird to think about!  But it's been great and I love hearing about how your lives are going!

Fill my life and inbox with the pointless and mundane things of your life! Love hearing just about little things! miles.coleman@myldsmail.net

But seriously, love you all so much! You mean a lot to me.

Love,

Elder Coleman
