Last Chapter (12/2/2019)

- 8:34 PM

Well, I will wait to reflect upon my mission until next week's weekly. Despite the fact that I don't have too much else to say this week. The trio life is good. Elder Borden and Elder Schreiter are great missionaries. I think this trio is even better than the two other trios I was a part of between transfers on two separate occasions. I thought of something interesting recently. It was really uplifting and profound. I kind of forgot what it was. ...That's why you write things down sooner! All I remember, basically, is that it's silly to expect someone to get through life without having made lots of mistakes. It's a given that mistakes, even big ones, will be made. That's kind of inevitable. It's okay. Just move on. That's what I tell myself anyway. I feel like I had some cool analogy for this but I forgot what it was. I'm striving to stay focused. I am trying my hardest. I'm sticking it out till the end, feeling...

Incredible News (11/4/2019)

Dear friends and family, We've been trying our best to make things happen in Mansfield. Progress has been a little bit slow. Adapting to new areas isn't my favorite thing. Hard to know if you're doing your best. But we're doing okay overall. So we got some incredible news... an apostle is visiting our mission. I've been waiting my entire mission for something like this. Dieter F. Uchtdorf is coming to visit the Ohio Columbus Mission on November 23rd. The entire mission will be together which in and of itself is unprecedented at least in my time. I am very much looking forward to that. In other news, I started My Plan this week, which is a 6-week program for missionaries when they are in their last transfer in order to prepare them for their return home and ensure they transition well. It's kinda weird because I've already partly gone through it with the three missionaries I killed off (Elder Penny, Elder Henrie, and Elder Miller ...

Dear friends and family, I met an apostle of Jesus Christ this week. I don't have the picture he took with the mission yet so if/when I get that I'll send it. (Provided they get it to us within the next two weeks.) On Saturday we arrived at the church building where it was to take place. This was the entire mission meeting in one location, which never happens unless an apostle visits. We were told that Elder Uchtdorf was in a meeting with the mission leadership so we quietly gathered in the gym to line up for a photo. We got lined up and arranged for the picture waiting for a while as more missionaries filed in and we awaited the Uchtdorfs. Finally I spotted Sister Uchtdorf walking in and going near to her seat. I don't know how many people recognized her--we don't usually see her, just her husband. A few moments later Elder Uchtdorf strode in and everybody went dead silent. He said something like "I've looked all over the building for ...
