Hey you guys!
Second thing, I still haven´t written in my Journal, so I have nothing to write about, so Instead I will tell you a funny story.
Once upon a time there was an Elder. This Elder had a dream of being a stunt man. Elder Bowers, an Elder in the firstly mentioned Elder´s District (Who we will now refer to as the Alpha Elder), asked the Alpha Elder "What makes you think you can be a Stunt Man".
Taken aback by this ridiculous question the Alpha Elder responded "I am a 1st Dan (Black Belt) in Taekwondo, and besides I can`t imagine myself in a boring office for the rest of my life"
Curious Elder Bowers questioned "How do you know that you can make it as a stunt man?"
Alpha Elder replied saying "Apart from my Indomitable Spirit and Unbreakable Determination I am qualified with my super not dying abilities."
"How So?" asked the Bowers of the calling Elder.
"I know how to break fall, basically I can fall without Injuring myself", responded Alpha Elder with a little bragging, "and I can do cool stuff like front flips on the ground."
"Wow..." Said the Elder Bowers in awe, "Show me".
"What?" asked the Alpha Elder.
"Fall on the ground right here!" Said the Elder Bowers with excitement on his face.
"I`m not going to fall right here!" replied the Alpha Elder taken by surprise, "That would hurt."
"I thought you said that you could fall without getting hurt!" Said Elder Bowers with a hint of Taunting in his voice.
"I said I could fall without getting injured, or at least seriously injured. I never said that it didn´t hurt" Shot the Alpha Elder hoping to escape this predicament.
"I still want to see you do it" responded Elder Bowers.
And since that day the Elder Bowers sought to make the Alpha Elder do his break fall. But it seemed that the Alpha Elder would not let him have his way... Until one day. A Tuesday to be exact. The very same Tuesday that we were to receive the changes. Many changes were being made (Thus the name Changes). Elder Fale would no longer be the District Leader and constantly receive annoying calls from everybody. Elder Graham was to take his position as DL. Elder Lamb was to babysit the Special (Literally) Elder of the Mission, Elder Padilla. And Elder Bowers was destined to leave that day, But he implored the Alpha Elder to do his fall.
He said "If you do it I will have no doubt in my mind that you will be a stuntman and when you are famous I will tell everybody `That guy was in my District´."
So the Alpha Elder decided to comply with the parting wishes of the Bowers. He walked to the stage (Because he would rather fall on Wood than on Tile). Everybody pulled out their cameras. The Alpha Elder was Hesitant, but he tuck in his head lifted up his leg and fell. Everybody laughed. They asked him to do it again, but the Alpha Elder didn´t like the whiplash the fall gives him, so instead he offered to do a front flip.
Maybe the front flip wasn´t the best idea ever, but he took of his shoes and just went for it. Not having done a front flip for over a year can make a person nervous by the way. The Alpha Elder Ran, Jumped, and Flipped, but it wasn´t the best throw ever. Barely landing on his feet and then falling to his trasero the Alpha Elder felt the rush of Adrenaline and ignored the pain in the balls of his feet. Looking at the video recording (That everybody watches all the time) the Alpha Elder realized that he had not thrown his arms as hard as he should have and now with this learning experience, and the approval of all the Elders in the district, He is sure that he will land the next one.
The End,
Love Ya!
Alpha Elder Zachary James Singson (It`s kinda like Arch Angel, it`s one step above the best)
