Hello all my quarantined friends and family. This is the best isn't it? No jobs, no responsibility. We all just get to lie down and do nothing all day. You get to watch movies. I get to read the Book of Mormon. Happiness all around.
Not gonna lie, It is kinda boring in this house. I have been here about 2 weeks now and I have talked to I think nobody from America. I do talk to people on Facebook but for some reason they are all from the Philippines. I went through my friend requests and they were from all over. I had requests from Nigeria, Colombia, Mexico, Thailand, Laos, some America, and lots of Philippines. You check my followers. It's quite a sight. I have been talking to some people and I have a few people who seem very interested. They ask me questions and I ask them some back about their beliefs and religious background. It is pretty cool. I never got trained when I got here so I don't really know what is happening but I am figuring it out. It is slowly starting to make sense. Maybe one day I will get it, then the next day I will be sent to Thailand.
This week not much has happened. I read more books, studied Thai by myself and I got to call Elder Smith one day. He came to Gilbert with me and will be serving in Thailand. This week I also got to play lots of spikeball. I am basically a pro at spikeball. One day while I was playing, I looked down at myself and realized I was bleeding and I was screaming at everyone. That game changes you. Scary. Be careful if you play spikeball. Also this week we cleaned the house. This place was nasty but now now it's basically heaven. So clean. You can lick the floor and you will probably be fine.
On Wednesday we asked a youth to tell his Mom we needed some water and she posted it on facebook and soon enough we had about 8 huge packs of water. Now we are peeing all day because we just drink water nonstop. It's the best. My pee is always so clear. Stay away dehydration and Corona.
I still have no news about Corona and what is happening to me. All non-natives in Thailand got sent home this week so it may be awhile until I get set there but I am pretty sure I will be sent there eventually because a temple is being built. Nobody knows anything. I just go with the flow and hope we get to Thailand soon.
In other news, today I called a member from Thailand and am helping him learn English, and I am talking to some other people from Thailand looking for referrals and more people to teach. This week is going to be a good one.
Well, I love you all and hope you are preparing for general conference. It's coming up very soon. I am not sure what they will say but it will be life-changing. Make sure you read the First Vision and ponder the questions President Nelson asked us to ponder. Love you all. Have a good week and you will hear from me next week.

Corona ไม่ดี แต่คริสตจักรเป็นความจริงและการประชุมทั่วไปจะดีมากในปีนี้ใช่มันจะ
Corona is bad but the Church is true and general conference will be very good this year. Yes it will.
Read all of Joseph Smith History this week and be ready for conference. You can do it! Yes you! You can do it!
I finally got my English nametag. It's legible and I look like a true Gilbert missionary now.
Good old days when I was Trenton. Now I am super smart, super mature Elder Slavens.
Just look at that garage. Take it all in. It wasn't this clean before, but baby look at it now.
Just me and my best friends. Books. They are always there for me when I need them.
And I need them now because I am bored.
When a member makes you pillow cases just reminding you that you are still locked inside.
Awww thanks.
