Elder LaBass - Dominican Republic Santo Domingo East Mission

  This home MTC experience has been amazing, I have grown to know most of the people in my district and they are all amazing! Although it was been awesome it has been very tiring as well,  Ive been getting up  at around 4:45  to go for a quick run, and then start my studies.  It has been a very hard transition from waking up  at around noon  ish to this jaja.  I remember one time we were in our morning zoom class that started  at 8 am .  About 45 minutes into the zoom, our teacher started to talk a lot and he eventually lost my attention.  Don't get me wrong I love my morning teacher and he's fantastic, but I was so tired that I eventually closed my eyes and fell asleep.  The next thing I knew I woke up and 20 minutes had passed.  I thought no one had noticed that I fell asleep so I went along with the class as if nothing had happened.  I remember looking at somebody's screen and their background looked...

  First week of home mtc in the books! Nothing too crazy happened this week mainly because I was in zoom meetings 90 percent of the time, but it's still really fun! I met my district and they're some of the coolest people I know!  2 of them even play fingerstyle guitar and it has been really fun to relate to them because before the MTC I didn't know anyone who shared the same interests that were my age! After my first day of both of my zoom calls my Grandpa and I went to innout.  At first it felt kinda weird being at innout with a suit and with a name tag, but apparently In Utah they love missionaries lol.  I had a few people come up to me and congratulate me and ask where I was going.  A lady even offered to pay for my burger which was really awesome, and I was not expecting that!  When she was paying for my burger I made a vow to myself to not let that burger go to waste and do my best in the mission field jajaja.   One funny...
