Hey all,

Man, sorry I sucked at writing this week. P day was pretty weird, this email should be pretty short. (Sorry mom.) His p-day was split between Monday and Wednesday, since he had to attend multiple zone conferences this week.

So yeah, I forgot something from last week. We were playing basketball with some non-members, and another guy and I both went up for a rebound and we collided. I broke my arm. Jk I didn't, I just broke off the little nose nub for my glasses (the Spencer's). I was wondering if Liingo fixes those or if I just took it into a place here would they fix it? Or if they just replace them too that would be nice. :)

This week just flew by. We did a lot of stuff trying to get booth supplies ready for missionaries to take and keep organized, so that should move forward super smooth come zone conference when we'll be getting those out. Speaking of zone conference, it won't be till week 5 this transfer, as Elder Hamilton in our area presidency is coming to visit. He's pretty cool, he is getting reassigned soon, to go be the CEO of Family Search, so he's kinda a big deal or something.

So transfers are happening. I'm going to be with Elder Holman again, he's coming here to be with me. I'm super excited, Elder Holman been one of my favorite companions, so I'm super happy I'm getting him. 

A quick spiritual thought I've had this week: I think we have a lot to learn from our different perspectives throughout life. A scripture I read this week talked about how God works in a straight course, and one eternal round. I think it was grandpa that taught this, but depending on your perspective, a straight line looks a lot like a circle. Like, it you could walk in a straight line, all the way around the world, it would look like a circle from space. Or if you draw a straight line on a paper, and roll it up, it would be a circle. I think God sees a lot of circles when we see straight lines. And I think God makes us into circles when we feel like we're just a line. Like I look at the start of my mission and my perspective is very different. I think I'm happier looking at my life as a circle than just as a line. I'm a better missionary, I have more love for others. It's a straight course, but it sure is one eternal round.

Love you all. Again, sorry this is super lame, we've just been super busy this week, so I've basically had no time for p day. Love you lots, hope you had a good trip dad. Nice pics Boo. Mom, idk if you're having family over for Mother's Day, tbh I kinda forgot it was even mother's day this Sunday till Elder Benson's mom mentioned it. So if there's a time you're looking for, let me know... Love ya!

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
