UPDATE: I went to send this letter but found I didn’t put a stamp on it… 😛 <- as Jacob would do.

Today I saw a “Future Missionary” from the Gilbert Temple Cultural Celebration! And another Elder I knew from somewhere in Gilbert…

Today was great, we did a lot of simplifying our teaching (really hard sometimes) and basically explaining words like “sin,” “salvation,” and “repentance” in role-plays. We said like a zillion prayers today and sorta difficult finding different things to be thankful for and to ask for.

An Elder in our District is having a difficult time, (all in his head – he seems totally fine) so he had our district give him a blessing.

Today we met our Branch President (Laney) <- Ha. [That’s the same name as our current Stake President in Gilbert]

He knows everything! He’s held a calling in everything you can think of save an Apostle and such. Any time someone was talking about a doctrine, he blurted out 3 scriptures. I read from his scriptures and he basically has no more room to write in any margins.

So I’ve been called to be a ZONE LEADER! Which is sweet. 2nd day and everything.

Random note: I got a strait banana from the cafeteria and smuggled it home ’cause it was basically a work of art! So much to write, so little time, so therefore the last thing I write about is a Banana (that’s B . A . N . A … just kidding – not “Sunday” worthy.)

Signing off again for the last time!
