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!!

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 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...

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. ...
