Question Time it is:
1. Anything fun for Labor Day? Not really unfortunately, most of the places I thought of going to are closed unfortunately. But its alright, the people out here in California need a break from all their "busyness" if we can call it that. Just getting the shopping done, washing the car, cleaning the place, and what not.
2. How was the week? This week had a couple twists and turns. I'll explain a bit more detail in a bit, but to simplify it. We had a truck, then we became bike missionaries, thighs feels like rocks, and knocking lots of doors.

Something kind of funny happened just this past week. We were teaching Chase about recognizing the Spirit through Prayer and Scripture Study and during the lesson, an earthquake happened. We were sitting on his porch, talking with him, and the ground just started moving and it was pretty loud... We learned later it was a 4.4 magnitude and it didnt last long, but it was pretty amazing. Little frightening, but amazing.

Our vechile coordinator wanted to get our truck fixed up since it had been roughed up by previous missionaries, so for the time being we have been on bike. Which its been awhile, and oh my goodness I am out of shape. We should be getting our truck back hopefully tomorrow. You really appreciate things when they are gone for a little bit. 

Glad to hear everyone is having fun out there! Looks like the kiddos are enjoying it! Yup, transfers are coming up this next Monday and we'll be getting the new Office Elder tomorrow. Its going to be hectic, but I think I'll be going back yo the desert, its been a little while, time to make some more sand angels. But I believe I should email you and everyone on Monday, we'll see what happens I guess.

There really wasnt much that happened this week. And emailing is kind of being a chore today more than usual. Sorry fpe the lack of material in here... I'm thinking of writing drafts throughout the days tbat way I have more information about what happened. 

Either way, always glad to hear back from you Momma! Make sure to remind Bryson that I still exist out here. LOVE YOU MOMMA!!

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
