HI!

So sorry, emails will be a little short this week. We ran out of time. I'll tell the story next week. Great story for today. So! I'm being transfered! Don't send anything to my address in Dover. If anyone already has, don't worry. The Elders living there will just take it to the mission office where it'll wait for me in a special bin where I can get it in a few weeks. I'm no longer working in Dover. I've loved Dover! Great people. Fun ward and still improving. I don't know where I'm going next. I don't know who my companion is yet. Tomorrow (Tuesday) is Transfer Conference. In the conference, I'll find out where I'm going and who my comp is. I'm glad I'm not in training anymore. That was tiring and a little frustrating at times. I'll be sure to include more stories in next weeks email. I read all the emails mom and dad sent me.

 

I did get the purchase to go through on LDS.org. I'll be getting that soon. One thing that I was thinking I wanted is a new backpack. Maybe something not as big as the one I took. I don't really need all that room. I was thinking something like that camel pak that I bought a little while ago. A good amount of space. Probably just not camo design. Just something simple. I do not need it anytime soon, so if you have any other questions about that, just ask. I would like a camel pak in it though to hold some water. That'd be nice.

 

Every day in the MTC I have an entry, but I've been doing terrible so far with writing in my journal. I will definately put an increased effort in writing in my journal. I definately see the importance of journal writing. I remember something from the MMA I did that the MMA community (you know, the whole Karate community) recommends journal writing because the old Chinese people or whoever invented Martial Arts learned that it makes you more happy and more thankful. I learned that from my MMA teacher. Speaking of which, it's been over a year since I started doing that!

 

I remember Dad saying that if something is broken or not working properly, check it out and try to fix it yourself before you try and buy something new. I don't know exactly how he said it, but I remember the principle. There was this floor lamp in our apartment that was really loose and wouldn't stand up properly. The Elders in the apartment had fixed it by stuffing slippers under the lamp so it wouldn't fall over. I started looking at the lamp and remembered. I found out that the lamp is in perfect working condition. The screws that hold the sections of the lamp were really loose. I tightened them up and the lamp stands tall and proud by itself now! So thanks dad!! Love you guys! Talk to you more, lots more, next week. Sorry again for the short letter.

Q of the W:

1.  When will you be going to New York City and to the Manhatten Temple?

 

Yes. Soon. I'll get more info on that next week. Since I'm going to a new area, I'll probably talk about it with my next comp.

2.  What is the funnest part of your mission?

 

I don't know what the funnest part is. I don't know. The best part is probably getting to know people and see them change their lives because of the testimonies they receive.

3.  Are you ironing your shirts?  Grandpa Lee told me that they used to just iron the front part of their shirts because that is all that showed...funny!

I don't iron my shirts. Sometimes I do. The shirts I have unwrinkle themselves if they are warm when you hang them up. I've ironed a couple shirts because I don't hang them up after they come out of the drier. That's a good idea though Grandpa Lee!
