first, I'll start off with the knee, cause I guess thats everyones biggest question right now! My knee is fine, sometimes it hurts but most of the time I am totally fine. Unless it somehow starts hurting again for real in the next couple days, I am not concerned at all!
This was such a good week! We had our last TRC practice lessons this week, which was sad but it was also so good to look back and see how far we have come since we started them 3 weeks ago! Our "investigator" was really sad when we told her that Thursday was our last time teaching her. I'm like 98% sure that she is a member. Elder Sharp and I were able to teach the word of wisdom and all sorts of fun stuff, which was a big confidence boost in Spanish.
Our teachers have been having us practice teaching the lessons in 3 minutes so in case someone in the field says "oh no, I am leaving in a couple minutes!" we can just say "That's all I need!" which is actually smart. I feel like I am a week behind on my spanish, but I know I am still learning which is all that really matters to me. I can teach a lesson but having a normal conversation with someone is still hard! I'll get it though!
Last Sunday, Elder Sharp and I taught priesthood which actually went really well. we had a lot of good participation. and it was nice that it was all in English too. our lesson was on keeping the sabbath day holy and the commandments. Tomorrow we are teaching our district meeting for like 20 minutes on patience.
Elder Howe (One of the elders in my district) decided that my name now is Bob the Builder. Because people shorten Robert down to Bob and I am a construction worker, so, Bob the Builder it is!
4th of July! almost forgot about this. We got to stay out late and watch the fireworks which was so nice! my district and basically the entire MTC wore red white and blue which was awesome. We had a great view of the fireworks from the stadium of fire which was definitely a plus!
Yesterday I got my travel plans! I am on a flight with 13 other missionaries! leaving very early in the morning on July 16th!!! the hype is so real!
Love you guys! next time you hear from me I will be packing up for the field!!

On a random day of the week our rooms get inspected. you probably cant see it, but we got all of the highest scores possible on it. we are pretty proud of it. its happened a couple times, NBD
This is where we do laundry
