Talked to John Brown today. (We went to high school together, and he's been here about three weeks longer than I have). He's going to do great things!
Noticed a pattern today. The days suck in the morning, but by the time evening rolls around I'm loving it. It's still kind of depressing listening to all the guys talk about their lives before coming out, though. They need to abandon this stuff. I sometimes feel like I'm a great minority in the district. I feel like I'm the only one who really knows why they're here. I know it's not true, but the focus still isn't totally there.
Just heard some gunshots in the street. Hope no one died.
Brazil is really growing on me. But it still hasn't fully hit me that I'm on a mission. I don't feel like I'm on a mission at all. I need to get out there and serve. I need to bring Christ to the people of Manaus.
If the Spirit weren't here, I'd HATE this place.

Speaking of seeing someone you know in the MTC...
I saw a guy that I went on a few dates with in there. When I went out with him he had a long hair and quite a few piercings and pretty much lived to snowboard. He eventually was baptized and decided to serve a mission. I was floored! The guy didn't remotely look like the person that I went out with. It was a cool experience to see right there how a conversion can really change people and the outcome of their lives.
