A 1-year older Elder. :)

Yes, a kind of clever name for an email, finally! I was getting bored of all the hellos and that kind of generic greeting. :)

Picture 1- Dad, this is Elder Lamb, Richard's nephew. Small world. :)



Picture 2- Typewriter! I have to put carbon paper on top of real paper, so I can't see what I write until after, haha. But it's fun.

Picture 3- Birthday preparation...

Picture 4- 20 Marshmallow sticks long/old!

Picture 5- 20 Reeses eggs long/old!

6- CAKE!
 
7- Blowing out candle reenactment.

8- Beautiful cake. It was truly awesome cake. I had some for breakfast today.


Hello! This has been a good week! The new Zone leaders brought my camera back to me on Tuesday, which I was very grateful for. A member had found it in the chapel and returned it to them, so that was a very good thing. :) I also had an exchange with Elder Anderson, who is from my MTC group, and that was good. We met a guy who said he was a member and a street magician. I've never seen him before, and have no idea if he really is either of those, but we're going to try and catch him in this week and find out, haha. We met a lot of other cool people too, and had really good discussions with them. We had an investigator come to church on Sunday, which was good. She is an 80ish year old lady who was raised Catholic but not practicing. We had a member pick her up, and they got along great and she enjoyed church, so that was good to see her enjoy it.

Also, it was my birthday on Sunday! So that was good, we had a delicious cake that we made from the mix Mom sent! I don't feel much older, nor wiser, nor mature. So I guess I've got to wait another 20 years for that. But it really was a very good birthday. The lady we live with gave me a box of chocolates, so that was a nice surprise. And a few members wished me a good birthday. :)

It was a good week, and this week is going to be good too! We have a lot of people to see this week, and I really hope they all go through. Tomorrow we're having another Zone Training thing, which will be good. I don't have too much time left now, so I'll send this off. But Thank you everyone for sending birthday wishes!! I love ya, have a really good week! Bye!
