Email from August 23, 2014

Hopefully I'll be able to send you some more but for right now I can't because I left my camera in the classroom :/ And yes if that doesn't answer your question I did in fact get the camera. I also got the package and the other package as well so I am doing well in that area. I also love receiving the dear elders because I get to hear from you THAT day so that's always nice. Nothing needed right now besides another pair of shorts we have gym every day and am one short every week. This past week was pretty crazy! The water heater in the apartment was broken! so we had water that was so nicely imported from Antarctica and put into our showers. The showers felt good AFTER they were done but I felt like I didn't have any air to breathe! Luckily we were able to get a repairman on the job! But it did feel nice on the knees though. I love receiving the emails from you and dad and I am hoarding them right now. the stack is beginning to be too big and I'm worried that my companion will want me to throw them away from the increasing pile of what he calls "clutter". I hope that Wicked is really good! You've been waiting for that for a very long time! tell Aunt Kalynn that I love her! And that I'm a little upset that I didn't get to get one of her signature hugs before I left. Also I wish you luck with the school! I hope the sounds of jackhammers and construction equipment aren't TOO distracting. I really like your daily keep ups Dad! I really enjoy hearing about what has happened over in the other world. I forgot to mention that last night it started to rain and the thunder was LOUD! There’s loud and then there's LOUD. It had rained all night and all morning and it had flooded the apartment complex! Luckily my district is on the top floor. 




Speaking of my district my zone has gotten bigger. . . . . . A lot bigger! They have added 3 more districts to ours and we have become the biggest zone ever! . . . . . of all time. And to top it all off my president let it slip (totally on purpose) that me and my companion are the next zone leaders. And apparently we are a test so here goes. My speech is including more and more movie quotes and now they're slipping into stuff none of my district has seen before and so I have had a lot of explaining. Elder Larson in my district is too curious for stuff like that to be open ended. . . .  unfortunately. 



I really want to be sent out already! I feel like I'm ready to be shoved out somewhere I don't know and learn my way from there! haha but I guess I'll be patient. Since High school has ended for all of the former seniors we are getting a huge load of missionaries here. And there are more and more people here that I have played basketball against but the weird thing is that I don't ever remember or I don't care so I give thanks to God for easing my competitive spirit. Speaking of basketball I FOUND PAUL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! for those of you who don't know Paul (I can't believe you don't) he was the best manager for basketball anyone could ever want! Life here is getting easier and it's starting to become life for me and I hardly remember what I used to do anyway. Still balling it up at least . . . . . I hope! haha 

The gospel is true I know it and feel it every day and I know that Jesus Christ and Heavenly Father love us and that they give us inspiration and a way out only if we take it. I know that hard work brings happiness and working for God brings eternal life! The book of Mormon is the truest book ever written and will always have something new to teach even though no one is adding to it. Joseph smith really did translate it and suffered for something real and tangible. The spirit works miracles and I have seen it with my own eyes. The gospel is happiness.
