but really.
super cool.
BUuuuuuuuuuuuut this has been a super exciting week. HIGHLIGHTS:
- After taking a small break from Rubix cubes for a time, I picked
it up again today and I practiced- and I mean PRACTICED- and I achieved a
new record. 63 seconds. and yes I will be studying humility later
because I AM RIDICULOUSLY PRIDEFUL OF WHAT I DID. Next step: Break a
minute.
- The computer where I am at right now is really great and that is a miracle!
-
Elder Chauque, my beloved comp who doesn´t speak hardly English but
likes to surprise me with stuff he knows, this week was getting off a
bus but I was still sitting down and he yelled, "Pratt! Let´s go!" Also,
in another ocassion in a totally perfect situation and with perfect
usage, he called someone a "lady killer" and I just about shed a tear
laughing.
- I met some members in Bogotá this weekend and we were chatting
and he asked where I was from anad I said California. He asked what
part. I said close to Los Ángeles. What city. Well, like an hour south,
along the coast. What beach. Huntington. "Oh that´s a really pretty
beach, huh?" I was like ummmm yeah thanks totally so how on earth do you
know and he says well I was there 2 weeks ago I should know. Ha. Ha.
Haha. Well. that was a funny experience.
LIFE ADVICE:
- If someone offers you eat
some cow intestine in a mixture and it might not be totally cooked, lie.
Say you are allergic. Say you can´t. Think of what you answer will be
now so when the situation comes, you are ready. DO NOT EAT IT AT ALL
COSTS. When you do choose to eat it and regret it the next day, remember
me. Remember this moment. Remember my name. elder ALEX WILCKEN PRATT.
YEah, my middle name is wilcken. You will especially remember that part
cause it seems super random. BUT whatever you do DON´T EAT IT.
IF I had time to say all of my thoughts of the
conference, I would use it. But. Instead, I will name names and you will
have to look up the talks and listen to them for yourselves and then
ACT ON WHAT YOU HEAR AND LEARN. Ifthe named people gave more than one
talk, READ THEM ALL please :) (listed in no particular order)
- Dieter F. Uchtdorf (powerhouse this guy), Neil L. Andersen
(Priesthood is a crazy cool thing and guys don´t let it get to your
heads cause that´s like so so so so bad and annoying it´s crazy), Robert
D. Hales (follow the counsel, be blessed. Pretty simple), Ulisses
Soares, D. Todd Christofferson, Arnulfo Valenzula, L. Tom Perry, Henry
B. Eyring, Richard J. Maynes, David A. Bednar ("I invite you to consider
your ways, and repent." BOOM), David M. McConkie, ummm who else oh and I
forgot one TOMMY THE HEROOOOOOOOOOOOOOO (that´s Thomas S. Monson,
Prophet, Seer, and Revelator, ladies and gents)
I love you all. I hope you are all doing great. I
miss you and I pray for you. Keep the prayers coming to San Lucho. We
need them, man. PEACE OUT MY HOMIEzzzzzzzz
ELDER Alex Wilcken PRATT
