June 24, 2013

Hey guys, it is going well over here. That is really sad to hear about Zach. (We heard about a friend of the family who had to come home for a really bad ankle injury) If he can heal up before a year then he can go back to the mission that he was in before. If it is over a year then he just re-applies and can get sent anywhere again. I hope that he goes back out.
 
I can't wait to see Kate play basketball. I remember going to I think Jaylen's games and like there were she-mans on the courts that looked like their fathers injected them with testosterone since they were three. There is going to be a lot of things that i need to do when I get home ha ha. I don't think it will be very relaxing from my mission when I get home.
 
I sent the pictures so you should get them today or tomorrow. 
 
My companion is twenty three, he went to 2 semesters of LDS business college in SLC. He wants to have his old job back and travel the world again as a travel agent. 
 
Our apartment is really nice. The new housing coordinator at the mission office has been moving missionaries out of their old apartments and into nice ones. 
 
We have pretty much the same restaurants as anybody. Subway, Flame broiler, Five Guys, Wendy's, and things like that. 
 
Josh came again to church which was amazing! We set a firm date with him for July 6th and he is on track for that. He told us he believes the BofM to be true. We are so so excited for him. He is still super shy though and it is really hard to get a conversation out of him at times. That is really neat about the family that you referred though. I hope that it works out. 
 
So yesterday we had a worldwide broadcast to all members of Ward Council and missionaries. In it it went over policy on how members and missionaries are suppose to work together. Perry gave an excellent talk about how the common practices of talking to people on the street and knocking doors is outdated and that we need to do new finding ideas. He then announced that missionaries will be able to use tools like Facebook, Blogging, and other social media to further the work. So we don't know when or how it is going to happen but it will probably be up to our mission president. But that was kinda a cool announcement. 


That is the link to the conference it was a really really neat little thing. Like they had videos throughout it and just was really neat. I really suggest watching it for FHE. I was really entertained for it. All about missionary work also so I loved it ha ha.
  
I love you guys. Thanks for everything that you do!
