No questions this time, you made my life so much easier thanks Mom! And if you read this email and start to beat yourself about not sending an email yesterday or today don't worry about it. I still love you just like the wonderful example you are! The best thing is going to be shared at the end anyways. Leaves more room to tell some stories in the email now!

I guess I'll start with sharing a funny story that actually just happened yesterday. An hour right before church was going to start me and my companion were going about trying to talk to people and invite them to come to church. We started talking to this one dude washing his car with his child and while we were just talking with him I felt a really hard "splat" hit me on the head and see something on my glasses. And my immediate thought was "You have got to be kidding me right now. No way..." And as soon as we started walking away I asked my companion "I just got crapped on didn't I?" and he looked over and his eyes got wide and just burst out in laughter. A bird pooped on me, but it was a really bad poop, like diarrhea poop bad. I now hate birds. (Dad will get a really good kick out of this one). 

Recently last Wednesday we met with one of our investigator families here and when we went over they had a TON of questions to ask us and it was pretty awesome. They both are "Catholic" but non practicing and its the closest religious background they have. But they had a ton of questions that they couldn't answer and it felt pretty awesome being able to answer most of their questions and we didn't argue or dispute in anyway. Its like how it should be, it shouldn't be an argument and tornado of opinions of who knows more, its just the knowledge that God has given us and with the Book of Mormon and they church that Jesus Christ heads we can answer those questions that everyone has. And we actually have a lesson scheduled with them tonight with a member coming with us so I'm looking forward to that.

I got a haircut today. Wasn't able to take a picture of it though sadly so I'll make sure to do that for you next week. I know I am terrible with emailing pictures but hopefully this additional tool called a "smartphone" might kind of solve the problem for ya. Anyways though thanks for that email about the whole card get swiped thing and I'm extremely careful when using money. No worries mom, I got this under control. Kind of.

Love you Mom! Give Bryson a birthday hug for me because I know he loves hugs (Sarcasm maybe?). I love him, let him know that. Talk to ya next week Momma!!

Next e-mail, same day:
I just read the email you sent. It didn't come through at all so I'm sorry to hear about that. Hopefully those shots work out for you, I am pretty sure it hurt like heck, just thinking about needles being stuck in you just sends shivers for me. I don't have a lot of time left but I was able to read all of it. Sounded like quite the week for ya! Lemme know how all the projects and selling go. And yes my companion does know I was born in Texas but I'm not a "true" Texan I guess. I don't know, can't really say I am but I gotta a little bit of it in me. I'll keep Grandpa Loveland in my prayers for sure, but the best thing is if he does pass away we know Heaven'y Father will be waiting for him. But besides from that I gotta get going. Love ya Mom and I skimmed through the email so I'll try and read it next week. LOVE YAAAA!

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...

Question Answering Time: 1. The date for smartphones? Well this Monday we rolled them out to all the Zone Leaders and Sister Training Leaders and they are meeting tomorrow for a meeting with all the leaders to discuss how we'll learn to use our technology righteously. But it all begins this week and the next... Oh my goodness gracious I am so done with phones when all is said and done I'll be so happy when its all done here in the office. 2. Yes I got some pictures, I DIDN'T FORGET!! I honestly really missed being able to go to the temple a little more often than usually and when I get back I'll definitely try and make a more conscious effort to go to the temple because the feeling there is overwhelming compared to everything else. 3. The Buddhist Naing? He has been getting pretty busy and we have been in contact with him though. We are hopping to set up something soon because someone in the ward I am serving in used to be Buddhist so we are thinking of bringing h...

Questions Being Answered: - This week went pretty swell thanks for asking! - Yeah we got a couple days of rain, I just wore my big jacket and didn't care about everything else. So it was pretty fun, thanks for the rain checkup! - No I do not have a poncho but that's OK! - We have had a couple missionaries leave early due to illnesses and other problems but it happens to everyone. I don't know about the number of missionaries but I know it happens. I'll be knowing more about things soon though (I'll let you know why in a bit). - Nope I did not get pinched thankfully. That was because Elder Pedersen was sick for an entire two days and he absolutely hated not being able to work. So we all got stuck in the apartment unfortunately but that means we get to work extra hard! - Not yet, I'll stop by an Wells Fargo ATM some time, no worries. You don't have to email President Taylor, its gonna be alright. I haven't been using my Wells Fargo account card...
