I figured that I’d write this week about something rather exciting that happened to my companion. Yesterday we got a call at around 10:30 from an Elder Ashton, who is currently serving in the ward where my companion’s brother lives in Phoenix. He called us to inform us that Elder Marquardt’s brother was given a…

This week was pretty exciting. Despite having tons of meetings (1 on every day of the week), we managed to teach more lessons than we have in the past 4 months. That was pretty cool. Sadly, however, no one that we taught came to church. So, that was rather depressing. But hey, what can you…

So, this week has been pretty much amazing. In the picture at the left, you can see what happens to be the wedding and baptism of a family that I taught 2 areas ago. They finally decided to take the step to get married and baptized, so it was a pretty awesome event. Plus, all…

Ok, so, to tell the truth, there really wasn’t any flaming bag of poop. But there was a bag of poop in our car this morning. That was pretty exciting. It’s all part of a long story of sabatoge and revenge, involving leather air fresheners and secret combinations. Mostly, we’ve just been involved in a…

Well, this week has been pretty exciting. First thing, something that really surprised me, I got my ‘trunky call’ this week. We were just leaving the Visitors’ Center after a lesson and the phone rang. Anyway, a trunky call comes approx. 3 months before the end of your mission (at least in our mission) and…

Wowee… This week has been pretty exciting. This week I went a total of four times to the Easter Pageant – twice to work, once with investigators, and once just at the end because we wanted to see the finale of the last night. Mostly, it was pretty awesome. All four nights it was packed,…

So, guess what? We spent most of the morning on Friday and Saturday moving our stuff over to our new place of residence. It’s pretty amazing. The Halbert family (who, as you may have guessed, we just moved in with) is pretty awesome, and they’ve been quick to allow us to participate in some of…

Well, as you may have guessed, we’re doing email now on Tuesday because we decided to go to the temple this week, because this is the day that fit in with all the Visitors’ Center Sisters, and it was pretty great. Going to the temple is always an awesome experience. Anyway, this week has been…

To my surprise, that’s the message that I had waiting for me when I logged in to make sure that my application to BYU had been successfully submitted. I expected it to take a month or two to find out, but there it was. So, yeah… I’ve been accepted to BYU. I’m still not completely…

While I don’t really expect that title to make sense for any of you, that means that I’m getting transferred. You see… In a transfer, there are six weeks. Anyway, sorry, I thought the title was reasonably clever. Anyway, it’s going to be interesting. I’ll be heading to the Zone right next to the temple,…
