No I don't need gloves. No I don't need scarves. No I don't need sweaters. No I don't need a warmer coat. And No I don't need money on my account I'll live but thank you! I don't really need anything if anything I have things that I DON'T NEED and might consider buying a box and shipping it home to make room for things I "collect" around the mission. Thank you though! Just wait for the birthday mark for me I guess, got some good amount of time before that comes up so don't worry!

The week went pretty good, definitely better than last week. Elder Pederson is feeling homesick for his family back home and other things he is working through. But otherwise when we get to work and stay obedient we do pretty alright. We are working through some things and working together the best we can so we CAN work together in unity because heaven knows I need companion unity so the Spirit can testify what we teach. He is kind to me and we actually get along pretty well, but nothing is perfect in life we know that.

We found a new investigator named Abram Yates who is Catholic and originally only wanted to hear what we had to talk about God and said "You can't convert me..." but by utilizing the HowToBeginTeaching points we redirected his thoughts and words to our purpose and the lesson went really well but there is still much room for improvement. And another investigator this week was Armondo who was a referral, for when we knocked on his door he told us he had just got home 5 minutes ago and could give us time to talk and share our message with him. We've had a lot of really cool moments where God's timetable is a lot better than the daily planning schedule we can come up with. Our contacting was also a lot better than last weeks so we'll continue to improve with every step into every day. Me and Elder Pedersen also got to have quite a couple awesome lessons with our investigators this week, we even recommitted on of our investigators to follow Moroni's promise and with "real intent" reading the Book of Mormon so this week has been pretty great.   

That's unfortunate about the championship game, it sounded pretty close. That is unfair though in all honesty, but even when we lose we learn something to improve and do better so that's a positive outlook on things! Man I miss YC's, that is some good food right there. No I haven't found any good ones yet but then again I haven't really tried looking so that's my bad I suppose. I don't get time to really look for these things anyways being cooped up in one area and then on bike, plus money budgeting so maybe for when I get back.

Its been fun but I gotta run now! I pray for you all always and hope for everyone! Gotta send a lot of emails out so tell the kiddos I said Hi! Thanks MOM!!

Yup that technology thing was worldwide. And for some odd reason, as soon as tech problem arise everyone calls the Office Elders. I actually counted how many people called and text me and it totaled up to 23 calls and 12 text message conversations. Needless to say that preparation day was full of stress and confusion. But fun nonetheless. Yeah it mostly got fixed, there are a few little hiccups with the system the church uses but it mostly works fine so that's good. God has a ton of patience and love. And its kind of comforting knowing if He can deal with me and everyone else I can deal with the people I am working with and helping. Kind of a nice little thought even though its kind of antagonizing. Fun to hear about Dad's work going on with LifeVantage, you'll have to send me the picture of that Jeep when you get the opportunity with the logo and everything. Also fun to hear about Savannah with pom and dance, she seems to be running all over the place out there.  G...

I honestly cannot recall who Connor Peterson is right now. My brain has a REALLY hard time remembering people's names with their faces, you already know that though so I'll let you sigh in defeat over there. Every time they sing "God Be With You Til We Meet Again" is such a good one, gets me every time as well, its a good one in general though, personally one of my favorites. I think one of my favorite hymms of all time though would have to be "Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing". Such a good one. I can imagine its pretty hard to not wanna hug me. I'm a hug-able guy I guess. If I was in your shoes I would probably have floored the gas pedal as well, or probably go around the area in a 30 mile radius so I don't get the temptation, but hey you used your agency wisely so good job Mom! I have noticed that about being the decider, but I do believe we have to have a fine line of deciding but also being willing to submit to what others decide as well. We...

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. ...
