I heard about that from another email and all those posts on Facebook about it. Tell her I send her my best wishes and prayers for them. Be safe on the way there! That was fun to hear about Grant though, he'll become a superstar the more he works at it, and that basketball court will help out, tell him when I get back I'll ball with him! 

Concerning that jacket, just something more casual, the only one I have is that big one from the beginning so its can get warm. Just something for the preparation days or just lounging around at night. Probably should have but more information on that request, my bad! You can have Bryson pick something out, I'll make sure to email him today and maybe he'll do the same.

We had some really cool things happen this week though. We started teaching this older couple, Ralph and Terry, and they are such great people. Ralph is currently in a wheelchair because he lost a foot, and I swear the jokes he cracks are phenomenal. This is my favorite one from him, "Man I used to be 6'1, then they had to cut me a foot short. Whats up with that?". Then Terry, funny story, her sister is a member down in Rancho Cucamonga and I was in her ward for 6 months while I was in the office. So I got to talk to her for a bit this past Saturday because I went down for a baptism for someone I used to teach down in Rancho named Ethan Elliot. (Someone else took pictures and hopefully they will get them to me).

Besides from that though, things have kind of been a blur.  This past week we helped out with this thing called Squash 4 Friends, which is this community farm that wasnt growing squash at the time, but when the season comes, it'll come. We also got to do service at that exotic animal sanctuary again and I think some of the animals are starting to almost recognize me now. It was funny because after cleaning out one of the cages for a bird, it started letting me stroke it's feathers. So that was cool. I keep forgetting to take pictures all the time though... I'm gonna get them!!

We had some odd things happen this past week to be honest. We were out trying to talk to people at night and we saw two cats going at it in the middle of the road. We got new Tiwis, that little box that tells us how to drive "safer". Its a woman's voice now and its still throwing me off. Elder Johnson pretty much formed the 2nd Grand Canyon in his pants on his year mark in the mission. Lots of things happening!

LOVE YA MOMMA!! Keep being the best you possible! Tell everyone I said HI!!

We had a mission conference yesterday so our preparation day got switched today for the time being. But we might be having a temple trip sometime this next month in November, but I'll try and warn you and everyone in advance. I honestly dont know if I will, just thinking about it makes me queasy. I know that trials are for the better, but I really really really want it to be done. Truly. I'm going to be sending a letter to the Mulder's sometime today or tomorrow, cause I am thankful for them. I dont even know anymore honestly.  Yeah I heard about Elder Noorlander's little brother coming to the mission a couple weeks back. Everyone here was honestly shocked, because as far as I know that's never happened. He comes into the mission sometime in December I believe. Well my new companion is Elder Singleton, and as far as I am concerned I hope and pray I only stay with him for this one and only transfer. He was trained by actually my trainer (my 2nd one), Elder Chris

Yup transfers happened today and Elder McLaughlin is leaving to go finish training another Elder who just came out 6 weeks ago. He'll do great out there, I'm getting Elder Johnson (he came out into the mission when I was in my 4th transfer in Ontario) and he's from North Carolina! I've served around him quite a bit so this'll be fun! I think PDay will still be the same. We can email from our phones and not everything is closed so it'll be fine, what holiday is coming up? I don't know anything so far as of right now concerning my mission reassignment. It'll probably be talked about later in the future, still up in the air but I believe President Taylor has been talking with the neighboring missions concerning what'll happen.  Mary did pass her baptismal interview though this past Wednesday! She's super excited for her baptism coming up really soon. We started making her baptismal program for her and inviting everyone we know to come and attend.

Alright Question time: 1. How'd the week go? Well we had zone conferences so we had it in the desert and the valley so that took out a good chunk of time during the day. But I was able to learn a lot regarding studies and how can we get more out of them. After all the purpose of studying is rooting ourselves more in the gospel and replenishing our understanding. I feel like if we have a purpose of why we are studying or praying to learn about new things it'll be given unto us. 2. Anything exciting? Well recently our mission and a couple missions ran into a little problem. All the missions with technology using the MaaS360 app had a pretty harsh thing happen. Somehow all the apps or things we use got disabled and removed so we no longer have our Area Book Planner, Facebook Messenger, and a ton of other apps that are to make the work move forward. Lots of missionaries called us this morning. I counted 22 phone calls and 11 text messages from all different missionaries
