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 him along to help him understand and teach more simply.
4. And the Filipino family? We went by yesterday and only the kids were home but we called the dad and he said to come back tomorrow evening at around 8:00pm so we are hoping to bring a member with us who actually served in the Philippines so he knows Tagalog which is the native language they speak but they all speak perfect English so it'll be a good fellowshipping opportunity.
5. Timing to Skype? I do not know a time but I'm assuming sometime in the night maybe? I'm not too sure but we do have smartphones now so I can Skype off that thing so I guess we'll see. Just hopefully it'll all work out. I already forgot your Skype name so if you just send it to me via email I'll make sure to contact you and give you a headsup. Which I think is aloud?? I'll ask!

All together though. This week has been really mentally draining especially with transfers happening, its the first week, and just smartphones, soooo many smartphones. Did I mention smartphones? But in the time that we did spend being able to do regular missionary work. We have been able to get into some member's homes and find out those who once knew the truth and have slowly fallen away so we hope to help them come back and feel what they felt before. And on top of that with teaching people we have a scheduled appointment with a family tonight and they plan on making dinner for us as well so we are looking forward to that! And with everything that has been happening I know that I have started to be more patient about things (except for phones, I'll keep trying). But I'm for sure looking forward to talking to everyone this Mother's Day. I'll think of something to send, I might send some stuff home along with a Mother's Day Card, I just gotta get the stamps or packaging stuff which is a little pricey but I'll find something don't you worry.

Altogether though, I'll keep in touch with how we'll be able to skype in with the family. Our church time goes from 1:00pm to 4:00pm and I honestly don't know when we'll be calling but don't worry, it'll all work out. But I gotta get going Momma. Love you lots and I know I'll take some more pictures and have more stories to tell you soon. LOVE YA!!

Oh also I did not feel the earthquake. Some other missionaries did but I did not.

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. ...
