Question TIME!

1) So our week went pretty interestingly. We had Zone Conference for the valley on Wednesday and the one in the desert for Thursday and we still have to do things in the office so it's been pretty hectic but these next few weeks should be outright normal in terms of working and being able to proselyte!
2) The trainings went really good at the Zone Conferences. We gave trainings about how to use the new Area Book Planner and being able to send people to areas around the world so it can go to correct missionaries but also just other cool little tricks and things.
3) We might? We have phones so we could be able to just email on Monday at somewhere that has WiFi but we might have to do a different day but I guess you'll know whether or not you get an email on that day... Oh whale.

Holy moly sounds like Savannah and Grant had a pretty fun time. I sent a package just today so hopefully it gets to everyone back home sometime this week. I left a gift for Bryson, Savannah, and Grant with some other things that weren't needed but I'm sure they'll enjoy everything. Sounds like Savannahs got a lot on her plate, she''ll handle it hopefully. It'll be good for her thats for sure!

Dang that's unfortunate to hear about for Bryson. I know its hard for him. It'll all work out though, I have faith in him and I know he is super smart. I'll keep encouraging on this end and always having everyone in my prayers. And the reason why is because I was reassured by my mission president that if I handle the Lord's work here he'll handle my work back home for me. Something along those lines at least, and I trust that promise without a fraction of a doubt.

Sounds like fun! Where are you all going in California and Utah? Bryson and Savannah might enjoy summer school, I remember seeing some old friends while in there and it was pretty fun just being able to talk and chat with them in between classes. I personally enjoyed it so they might like it as well, guess we'll find out. 

So something pretty cool did happen this week though. So our ward got a new pair of missionaries and they are both called to speak Mandarin/Chinese and English. And the funny thing is one is from Salt Lake City and the other is from Thailand. The one from Thailand is learning not only Chinese but also English so it'll be quite the trip for him. But the cool thing that happened was two days ago me and Elder Clawson ran into a Chinese lady who spoke little English but she wanted to go to the Mormon church but didn't know where to find it. So we gave her directions and she really enjoyed it! Sadly we wont be able to teach her but it was awesome to find her!

Altogether though it was a hectic week. This week should be normal so I'll make sure to send some pictures next week Momma! Promise!! Love you MOM!!

How's it going Dad? I'm guessing you got a lot on your plate today so you were pretty busy so its alright. No worries, don't beat yourself up about it. Still love ya!

Just going to give you a rundown of what kind of happened this week. We had zone conference in the valley and in the desert for Wednesday and Thursday so that was pretty fun being able to attend both meetings and still be able to get new things out of them even though it was the same topics and things that were discussed. I would ponder differently and think more about certain things and individuals and it helped me stay focused. Because if I fell asleep on the stand I would hear about it till the time I left the mission probably. All jokes aside, I enjoyed it a lot.

Otherwise though there wasn't much to talk about with a lot of things happening in the office and other shenanigans along with that. So many phone problems, I never wanna work at a call center or tech support because good night I swear there was a new problem with every problem that arose from the water but I guess that makes it more fun for me right?

Altogether we also found a new investigator named Anthony. He is originally from Nigeria and he teaches Language Arts at a high school in Los Angles so he has to go quite the distance for work so he is only available during the weekends. And when we met him we said he had barely gotten home and that he could spare a few minutes to listen to us. So we shared the message of the Restoration, extended a commitment, prayed with him, and invited him to learn more all in matter of 20 minutes and it didn't feel rushed. It was pretty awesome. I enjoyed that a lot.

But altogether I gotta get going. Love you DAD!! Lemme know how your week goes and if the kiddos drive you insane! KIDDING!! Talk to you next week!

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. ...
