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...

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...
