It's snowing... :'(

Hey all,

Man, it sounds like life's been really crazy! You're getting a job? That's way cool! You'd be so good at that too! You did such a good job on making our travel plans for Europe!

It sounds like you had a really good Sunday. I wish I could see Braxton's homecoming, I gotta say that I really look up to the guy. That sounds like it was a really good talk. I can definitely second his promise, I've seen answers come through the Book of Mormon as well! I had a pretty good Sunday too. I also got to speak in church. I talked about the gathering of Israel. I can send a copy, but while I was up there I changed quite a few things, so it's not really the same talk. And guess what? Wendy came to church! She was crying a ton, especially during the other's speaker's talk, he talked about how we see through Christ, and it really got to her. 

Last Tuesday we carved pumpkins as a ward. It was lots of fun, I stole one of Jonas's old pumpkin ideas and had a barfing pumpkin, throwing his guts up. It was quite the hit, everyone got a laugh out of it. 

It finally started snowing...I think a part of me inside curled up into a ball. Haha, not really, but the season's changing. Started using my thermals again this week. Send warm thoughts.

Wow, wish I coulda watched the Ute's game! Hope they keep it up, I would feel like I failed the family if the Utes don't have a very good season this year. And a 4 star QB huh? I like the sound of that. I'll have to keep the Utes in my prayers, haha.

Sorry that this one has to be a little shorter. We don't have a ton of time to email, as we have a lesson right after, and need to drive out to it. Sorry it's so short! ðŸ˜¬

Elder Marsh

Elder Olsen and I went to a Westlyn church with the sisters on the morning of General Conference. It's a Protestant denomination that rocks out on Sunday.

Before the snow.

This is Allan. He's a recent convert from Texas that got deported. He's cool.


This is an Elder I went on exchanges with. He reminds me of Jonas. That was fun.

Elder Pitcher and me.

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...

First few days!

First few days are down, and it's going good! When I got here I went straight to a lesson in French, and six hours of lessons later I'm supposed to teach a lesson in complete French to an investigator, write a talk in French, and memorize the missionary purpose statement.  Our zone has about 60 missionaries, most speaking French, going to Lyon, France, but some to Paris as well. There are a lot of Haitian Creole speaking missionaries, and some Malagasy speaking missionaries as well. Two are going to New Caledonia (discussed below). I'm the only one going to Canada, let alone going to Halifax.         My companion is Elder Hable (like table but with an H) and he's really good. He's going to New Caledonia, which is by Australia. He took French for 6 years, and he's by far the best of our district so far. He likes baseball, favorite team is the Red Sox, so that's a plus, (Raelene) and is really kind to everyone. He got made the District leader last night, s...

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...
