Yes I was surprised to see
Victoria..... It was probably the strangest moment on my mission. I tried to
shake her hand because I thought she was a new member. I didn't recognize her
until she said my first name. It was weird, really weird. But thanks for the
beef jerky! We haven't decided when I'll go over there. We might on Thanksgiving.
We’ll see. I did get a better camera. I can get the fstop to 3.3 and leave the
shutter open for half a minute. So I'll be able to get semi decent pics of the
northern lights. But I need a mini tripod as you'll notice on the pic i sent my
hand is a little shaky. I'm not sure what I want for Christmas..... I'll get
back to you on that haha I think we'll be bouncing around on Thanksgiving
day. It'll be a good one. Oh yeah we had transfers and I'm staying here until January
at least. Elder Stevenson is in Matanuska now, and Elder Collins from Western Samoa
is coming here. It'll be another good 6 weeks. I'm sorry about not having a ton
of details. There’s just too much that happens everyday. I can't put it all in order chronologically in
my mind. It’s ridiculous, days are so short this time of year and yet soooo
long. I can't remember if I told you guys that there are going to be 100 new
missionaries in our mission by February supposedly and half will be sisters. If
I did forgive me, if not, forgive me haha. So that will be a cool experience I
guess. I'm not sure how much I'll like it. One of the pluses of this mission
was that it is small so it was pretty personal with Pres. But the work needs to
go forward and it seems needs to accelerate. Well I better get going. My brain
is getting fried. Thanks for the email!! Love you
We have 4 outstanding young men in our small ward in Liberty, Texas that have been called to serve a mission. It will be fun to have our ward family follow their experiences through this blog. Elder Clegg left July 20,2011 for the Idaho, Pocatello mission, Elder Waddell left July 27, 2011 for the Alaska, Anchorage Spanish speaking mission, Elder Escobar left in August for the Massachusetts, Boston mission, and Elder Tellez left September 14, 2011 for the Mexico, Veracruz Spanish speaking mission. We are so very excited that these fine young men have chosen to serve the Lord.
