Duty to God

Brothers and Sisters, Dear friends,  I remember about a year ago, when my trainer told me that his two favorite words/feelings were adventure and nostalgia. At the time I related to the adventure part really well, having just come from a life of adventure in Utah. But as I've sat here this week with my most dreaded transfer approaching, thinking back on all the adventures I've had here in Iowa City, I've been relating way hard with the nostalgia side of it. We're pretty sure I'll get transferred, and it's probably the saddest transfer ever. I feel like David Tenant in his last episode of the Doctor. I don't want to go...  Anyway, sorry for the downer, I'm sure it'll be great! I might even get to serve around my boy Elder Harvath again! You never know!  This week has been fun though. We had two exchanges, played on a frozen pond, had some killer district councils (think fire and dramatic readings of the Christmas story...), and went on a ...

Hello everyone!  I don't have a ton of time, but I do have a ton of pictures. So hopefully that'll make up for how short this email is.  We had some great adventures this week, the highlight was definitely Zone conference and ugly sweaters. That was a riot. Plus we were in Nauvoo, which always brings back so many memories! It was also awesome, because like, 90% of my favorite missionaries were there. Shoutout to Elder Steed, Fuller, Shelp, Crookston, Cox, and Harvath (even though he wasn't there, I felt his beautiful spirit with me). I hope you enjoy the plethora of pictures! I love you all! Godspeed!  With the fav members-The Zirkers!  Squad temple pic Helping some members load a piano for someone from my home ward.  temple pic w/ the bois. #righteouslylit Moon goons, ft Moon llama as Sis Langston TEMPLE SQUAD PICS Temple w/Anne and Kathy.

Those of you who have served around Elder Rutledge will get the double meaning to that subject.   But for the rest of you, this really has been a blessed week. Definitely one of the best weeks of my mission.  For starters, we were able to go to Cedar Rapids for p-day last week. Saw my bois Elder Harvath and Elder Hebbert, s/o. I'm still not getting Elder Harvaths emails though, so that's depressing. (cough, cough) Anyway, Tuesday and Wednesday were also great. We had exchanges with the YSA Elders, and I was with my grandson, Elder Q. Fuller. Holy cow. I haven't had an EXCHANGE that lit since I was with my bois McCain and May. Tuesday was sick, we knocked on this one door, and talked to this girl from Puerto Rico and then this Hispanic guy and this Asian girl showed us and invited us in, and seriously so many people of different ethnicity's kept walking through this little apartment. It was crazy.  We also decided to try bus contacting for the first ...
