I heard about that from another email and all those posts on Facebook about it. Tell her I send her my best wishes and prayers for them. Be safe on the way there! That was fun to hear about Grant though, he'll become a superstar the more he works at it, and that basketball court will help out, tell him when I get back I'll ball with him! 

Concerning that jacket, just something more casual, the only one I have is that big one from the beginning so its can get warm. Just something for the preparation days or just lounging around at night. Probably should have but more information on that request, my bad! You can have Bryson pick something out, I'll make sure to email him today and maybe he'll do the same.

We had some really cool things happen this week though. We started teaching this older couple, Ralph and Terry, and they are such great people. Ralph is currently in a wheelchair because he lost a foot, and I swear the jokes he cracks are phenomenal. This is my favorite one from him, "Man I used to be 6'1, then they had to cut me a foot short. Whats up with that?". Then Terry, funny story, her sister is a member down in Rancho Cucamonga and I was in her ward for 6 months while I was in the office. So I got to talk to her for a bit this past Saturday because I went down for a baptism for someone I used to teach down in Rancho named Ethan Elliot. (Someone else took pictures and hopefully they will get them to me).

Besides from that though, things have kind of been a blur.  This past week we helped out with this thing called Squash 4 Friends, which is this community farm that wasnt growing squash at the time, but when the season comes, it'll come. We also got to do service at that exotic animal sanctuary again and I think some of the animals are starting to almost recognize me now. It was funny because after cleaning out one of the cages for a bird, it started letting me stroke it's feathers. So that was cool. I keep forgetting to take pictures all the time though... I'm gonna get them!!

We had some odd things happen this past week to be honest. We were out trying to talk to people at night and we saw two cats going at it in the middle of the road. We got new Tiwis, that little box that tells us how to drive "safer". Its a woman's voice now and its still throwing me off. Elder Johnson pretty much formed the 2nd Grand Canyon in his pants on his year mark in the mission. Lots of things happening!

LOVE YA MOMMA!! Keep being the best you possible! Tell everyone I said HI!!

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. ...
