Hey all,

My week was pretty busy and boring, for the most part, so I guess I can relate. Thursday was zone conference for Nova Scotia. Friday morning we flew to Newfoundland, and did exchanges there for 3 hours. I got to teach this French guy, and we had a pretty good lesson. He really loved having someone to speak French with, so I think it helped. Saturday was Newfoundland zone conference, and the elders there had a baptism late that night. Sunday we went to church in Saint John's, it was their fast and testimony meeting. Got back Sunday night, Monday was full of meetings until the evening, and then we had the YSA FHE, it was karaoke, which was lots of fun. Everyone had a great time. And now you're to today. Pretty lame.

I did hear about Notre Dame, the YSA keep me way more updated on everything than other areas. Pretty nice, most of them probably remember what it was like in their missions not getting updates, and they're paying if forward.

That's sad news about Bailey. I'll definitely keep them in my prayers.

Happy about Brad though! It's weird, it means time's ticking for me.

I'll share something of where my thoughts have been this last week. I really loved Elder McKay's talk from general conference, talking about the immediate goodness of God. I think one of the biggest immediate blessings is the changes that happen in us, by choosing to follow God—it changes us into a greater, more obedient, more faithful disciples of God. 

Sister Low says hi and that she loved your Christmas card. Love you all!

P.S. Here's a photo of Saint John from my window seat. And they're putting a Five Guys in Halifax!

Robbie ran out of time to email, but sent videos, so we are the ones who got a birthday present as he celebrated turning 20 today. :) Unfortunately only one of them was under the max of 100mb size for blogger. :( Here it is:

Stake conference

Hey all, Man, it looks like you’re having a great time in DC! Also, that schedule looks great too. I know lots of people who have said morning classes stink, but I think it would be totally the other way around, morning would be way better. Do I not have a math class? I mean I figure I’ll use math in Econ, but I would have thought I would have needed some math.  This week’s been pretty crazy. So this last week has been pretty busy because we’ve been trying to get ready for our devotional and everything, Elder Hamilton did agree to come and speak to everyone, which was super cool. (He’s super nice and cool, he talked with everyone who came for probably 30 minutes just getting to know them.) We made invitations for everyone, and we had like 20 people commit to come. The day of the event though, 2 people showed up at the start, and 2 more came during it. It was kinda disappointing so few people came, but it was super spiritual for the people who came. It was definitely worth it.

Transfers!

Hey all, Happy Father's day! Hope you had a good one dad + grandpa's. I didn't know if you would've wanted to waste part of your trip to DC calling me, so I didn't try calling. Besides, I want you all to actually be glad I'm home when I get back.  So you're right, my p-day does get messed up because of transfers, but the majority of it was on Monday (not Tuesday) and the rest today (Wednesday). It's ok though because I do have enough time to write some. (This whole week has been so busy I don't even know if I could include everything that's gone down.) We'll start with zone conference. Elder Hamilton didn't have enough time in his schedule to go to Newfoundland, and so we combined the Newfoundland and Nova Scotia zone conference. It was really good, Elder and Sister Hamilton gave some fantastic training, as well as President and Sister Low. I don't know if I've told you about this, but in our zone conferences we normal
