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!

Transfers!!!

Hello!  HAPPY BIRTHDAY Ellie!!!!! I hope you had a great one!  So yes, I got transfered!! I'm going to Fredericton with Elder Olsen. We're going to be zone leaders, and I'm super excited!! Elder Olsen is one of my favorite elders, so we're going to be having a great time! They closed down Dieppe, so there are only two French areas now, Edmundston and Bathurst. Elder Smith went to Bathurst. The French areas are in New Brunswick, but the majority of the areas are English (like mine).  I had a pretty good week. Deji got baptized!!!!! It was so, so cool. I was one of the elders who found him, and I had a chance to teach him on exchanges. Then Sunday was really good too.  I'm doing really good health wise! I've had no problems. We found someone pretty cool. Her name is Monica, we found her through Facebook. We're going to teach her again tonight.  I liked going to the zoo a lot. We have played Settlers of Catan a lot together, except it...

Yes, it was Zone Conference

Salut tout le monde! Sorry that I didn't send that schedule again. I'm surprised they don't post that on the facebook page for all the parents. It's hard for me to remember that when you're not living your life 6 weeks at a time you don't normally keep track of when "week 2" is, so I'm sorry. I'll try to make sure to say in the email the week before anything like that happens.  I'm glad that you had a good week. Women's conference sounds like it was pretty nice. I know what you mean when you talked about having very crazy weeks! Also, I'm super jealous of being able to go see Avengers, even if the ending was bad. I keep seeing posters for it everywhere, and I'm pretty curious as how they made the whole connection to Guardians. But I guess I'll find out in 450ish days. (That gives me chills, agh!) I'm looking forward to  Sunday  too! You guys have church at 10 right? There is a  ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ >...

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...
