Short Q&A

Short email today...he mostly answered a few of these questions:
  • What are your social media rules?
  • What's the ceremony to mark one year in your mission?
  • What differences have you noticed between your new mission president and your old one?
  • How are your investigators doing? 
  • Have you picked up any Spanish? :)
  • What percentage of missionaries in your mission are really hard working and what are the craziest stories you've heard about missionaries? (Tonight at dinner we were talking about some of the wilder stories from our missions, like the elders on Shetland in dad's mission who grew beards and got busted because their faces were sunburned on the top but white where they had shaved, haha.)
  • What are you most grateful for after one year on your mission?
  • What are the biggest lessons you've learned this past year?
  • Did you get your birthday package yet? (And I guess related, when is zone conference?)
Hey all!

Thanks so much everyone for the birthday wishes! I got the package, and I loved the notes from everyone.

So for social media rules, there's quite a couple different rules. I can message people on Facebook and messager if they're in my area for finding and teaching people, communicating with people we're teaching, making posts and stories. We can use it to talk to family and people from back home on p days, like any emails. 

There's a tradition to burn an item of clothing for each landmark date you hit. For 6 months, a tie, year, a shirt, 18 months are pants and 2 years a suit. 

Luckily, our mission is very obedient. There aren't a lot of crazy things that happen in our mission, and they haven't happened her for a long time. 

This week we had zone conference, and we found a new investigator. Her name is Wendy, and she's pretty cool! We're going to be teaching her on Thursday. 

Love you all so much! Have a good time in England!

Got my travel plans!

Bonjour tout le monde!        This has been a crazy week! We've been super busy with lessons, we have had two or three lessons a day, and lots of really good devotionals.  On Sunday , we had Chad Lewis come and talk, and that was really cool. He talked about his mission, his career, his chance to do this hike up Kilimanjaro with a bunch of wounded soldiers from Iraq, kinda all over the place. It was more like a slide show than the kind of devotionals before. It was still good, but I definitely preferred Elder Oaks. We watched A Consecrated Missionary, by Tad Callister, for our film after, it was really good. I really love the  Sunday  films, gunna miss that in the field.         I also finally meet some other people going to Halifax! There are 4 sisters, and one other Elder, I'll be flying out with them on the 26th. I'm pretty sure I get to call you guys before I leave the airport on my flight, but I think they talk about t...

Yes, everyone's been freaking out!

Hey all, This week has probably been the craziest ever. The announcement came as I was down in a lesson in Halifax (long story, I'll get to it later) and so my phone just started vibrating like crazy during the lesson, and I was super confused. I checked it and saw a ton of missed calls, so I thought something bad just happened, and we finished the lesson quickly, and started calling people back. The other Zone Leaders answered and were just like, "Have you guys checked your email?" and we were really confused, but they told us to go check. Then I read the email they sent all of us, and I was just mind-blown. The elder I was with just pulled over, cause we were driving at this point, and we just sat there talking to them. It was crazy.  Anyway, I'll back up because it's been a pretty crazy week. P-day was a huge storm, and we were stuck in the house that night. Elder Willoughby finished packing. We also found out that because of the storm, the normal t...

This week's update

Hey everybody. I guess you didn't understand what I meant by "you have no excuse." There's a lot of times when we email in the morning. My phone doesn't have internet. I only get to see the emails I got from  Monday . IF YOU WRITE  ON TUESDAY , I MIGHT NOT SEE IT! Hopefully I will have time to read emails later. At least I'll have stuff next week. Now that I finished my little rant, this last week's been pretty good. We finished teaching Nik, Rachelle and Tommy all of the principles, and are just setting up their interviews. Tommy still is working on stopping smoking, but he's doing awesome. He came to a game night we set up, and to church this week, and loved both. The hit at the games night was this table hockey game, it's lots of fun! The travelling trainers came for our district meeting this week. Basically it's two missionaries who spend an entire transfer training the mission. It was lots of fun, Elder Ipson and Olmsted are bo...
