Well,
It’s been said many times and in many ways, but time is the weirdest thing on the mission. I have now been set apart as a Full Time Missionary for 18 months. Weird. Haha anyway, here we are.
This past week was wild. We had our Christmas Zone Conferences across the mission. On Monday night we drove 2 hours up to Coventry to set everything up the night before. We ran into some audio difficulties which took forever to figure out. Once we finished setting up, we were starving. So on the way to the Elders who we were going to stay with, we made the competent decision to go to McDonalds and fill our bodies with food at 1:30 in the morning... It was one of those things that felt nice in the moment but definitely not after waking up 4 hours later. Good times. Wow. This is my life now haha. We drove to a couple other places the following days for the other Zone Conferences, and it was a good time.
It’s been amazing to see that even with less time to be doing classic “missionary work” in our own area, we still see miracles. The Lord knows where we are at. He knows the individual circumstance. When we give what we can to Him, He is happy and makes more out of it than we ever could.
This was probably the most anticlimactic 18 month email you have ever received. On top of that there are no pictures. I don’t know where this paragraph is going, but pretty much I’m grateful for you all!
(Note from Mel: I put some of his pictures in from his last pday. He got to go to Stonehenge!!)
