Question Answering Time:
1. How was my week? Its been quite the roller coaster. Lots of phone nonsense to deal with and prepare for and we are going to be starting a new transfer this upcoming week so me and Elder Clawson have to do a lot of preparations for that so WOOH.

2. The phone set up? Its really annoying honestly. Have to charge the phones, boot em up, download a program and make names and passwords for all of them. Definitely something I never thought I would do in the mission but hay its the experience of everything!

3. Yeah I heard about the teacher strike from Bryson. I honestly saw it coming eventually. School teachers have a lot to deal with nowadays. You have to prepare lessons, teach a class, grade everything and keep everything and everyone up to date. And you also have to deal with a bunch of children. They honestly don't pay them enough but I guess we'll see how it goes.

Sounds like y'all are going to have a lot of fun over there in the Bahamas. And holy cow sounds like you guys are going to have quite the adventure. Honestly when I get back I'm just going to want to relax for a little bit. Catch up with family and friends, get back on my feet, probably work and get ready for schooling but I guess we'll see as time goes. Remember to take pictures for me while you are over there (ironic I know don't start screaming yet). Recently me and Elder Clawson were able to find more people to teach! We are starting to teach this man originally from Burma and he is Buddhist. It was really strange trying to teach someone who had ZERO knowledge about God so we are going to have to teach little by little and hopefully it'll work out! And we also met a Filipino family of 5, a mom, dad, with 2 girls and a boy around the ages of 10-17 so that'll be fun. Our first lesson with them was super awesome. 

Also the reason why I am emailing on a Tuesday was because today we went to the temple! Its been a little while since I was in it, our mission gets to go on a 6 month period, and when you depart from the mission so it felt SO GOOD to go back. Just to feel the peace and comfort that came from being in the walls and in the Celestial room was amazing. I'm going to try and make a conscious effort when I get back to attend more often. But on top of that I am pretty low on time because the temple took 35 minutes there and 35 minutes back and the temple session so I'll email you next week for sure!! The next time I email will probably on a Wednesday because of transfers next week but I'm sure you'll be fine. Say hi to everyone for me and have fun!! LOVE YOU MOM!!

Did You Think to Pray? I actually took pictures this week. And for some odd reason this computer is denying me the right to access those photos... Hold back the pitchforks for now, I'll fix the problem sometime soon. But besides from that one. The title comes from a praying mantis I saw while knocking on doors. I went to go ring a doorbell and there is this giant praying mantis guarding the bell. I ended up not wanting to fight the thing and knocked on the door. Something our mission does every transfer (which is a six week period of time kept by missionaries), we have this thing called a zone conference. And all the missionaries here in the desert got together. Which is always a fun experience being out for little over 13 months now seeing people I've grown to meet and love during my time here and catching up with them. But the whole reason we got together was to learn and grow in our service out here. And something that stuck out to me was learning to set goals, but mo...

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 f...

Question Time: 1. My week was definitely interesting, I'll tell you about it in a bit later on in this email. 2. I have no idea yet, I'll be in the office tomorrow so I'll look for it and see if it came in the mail. We don't open those suckers until later and its going to be quite a hassle trying to figure these things out before we roll out ALL the smartphones to all the missionaries but I am looking forward to it and seeing the success that can be found. And yes I will be becoming a Facebook missionary, whoopdy doo for you! 3. Ideas for him? Well I was thinking of trying to get him something but I keep running out of time and forgetting but don't tell him that. I LOVE HIM, just shipping is really expensive... But maybe something that I thought of is giving him a book series called Mystborn or another series by Brandon Sanderson, I heard his books are really awesome and I'll probably read them when I get back. I honestly don't know, you know better th...
