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.

January 1, 2018 - Hi Mom!

Sorry that I am emailing a little late right now, was busy going through a meeting for "Train the Trainers" because I am now training a missionary who has been for only 1 transfer. So currently I have been transferred to Ontario where I am now in a bike area so that'll be pretty fun and I am training Elder De La Torre who is from Las Vegas Nevada! Its going to be a little weird since now I see trees everyone and there are sooo many houses and just people everywhere in this green environment instead of being stuck in the desert. But altogether its been a pretty fun week, it was my last week with Elder Olson and we had so much fun together while working and just when it was starting to pick up I get moved out, but President Taylor feels it best for me to be here for Elder DeLaTorre so I'll do my best and help him out. I don't have a lot of time to email but hopefully next week I'll be able to actually give you a lot of information about whats going and picture...

Hello Mom and Dad!!

Glad to hear everyone is doing really well! What is actually funny is since I was still a little sick I called the mission nurse and she asked me who she just saw, and mentioned Mom dropping by with Sister Kerby's mom dropping off gifts so that caught me off guard. But that is super awesome that you took the time and love to give gifts to everyone! Time can fly by pretty quickly sometimes and other days it just seems to drag on for awhile but all together I've been out for more than 4 months now... Time really has just flew. And YES we do get to talk on Christmas using Skype, I recently got an email from my Mission President with information on rules and regulations. We get about 30-40 minutes at the maximum and I believe we'll be able to text your number with the member's phone or call ahead as we prepare to Skype (the Hannett Family offered their home for Skyping for us). But for everything pertaining to that on Christmas Day even though its supposed to be our Prepara...

Hello Mom and Dad!

Thanksgiving was really awesome, we had dinner with a family where they have 5 boys and we got to spend our one dinner with them for that night. Got to eat deviled eggs, ham, turkey, mashed potatoes, crackers and cheese with ham, chili, some barbecue hotdogs, and lots of other food which was amazing! Everything else over here is going very well though! Although Elder Olson got sick for a day and we had to drive to an Urgent Care outside our zone so that was fun. Elder Olson is pretty much the same height as me and everything, why do you ask? I don't think its cold enough to get any extra layers of clothes or anything but thanks! That's awesome that everyone of the kids is doing well and doing the things they love! Funny how as soon as I leave you start having missionaries over for dinner, maybe we'll have to invite some more when I get back from my mission or something. Um I don't know anything about plans for Christmas yet but I'll email you when I find out the det...
