Hey, fam!

We have not yet met the new senior couple. They don't get in until after may starts, so I'll probably not see them. There is a new senior couple in our neighboring city, though, but I haven't met them yet. 

Also, here's a neat thing! In church the yesterday, one of the member's aunts visited, and she knew Donna! (this is one of the american members, that's how) I never actually got her name, nor did any of the other Elders, but she has long black hair, and served with Donna in the Relief Society! She just walked up to me and asked "Are you related to someone named Donna?" I was so confused, but it all made sense in the end. Her niece is Sarah Strobel, so if that helps you find out who she is, there you go!

Transfer day is Monday, so no matter what happens I won't be able to email until tuesday. 

Henry is just so cute.

Do you just feel a little bit happy when you walk around campus and everyone is super stressed out and basically living at the library and studying, and you've already done all that? Just kind of that nostalgic feel but also never wanting to have to go through it again? That's how I feel when I see missionaries first enter the country. heh...

Has Max seen Henry yet? Or are we the only ones who are still left out of the club? He's going to be so old when I get home. That'll be so strange! Is he still like, the only thing anyone's thinking about?

I really want to make sure that when I get home I'll still be studying the scriptures, because the difference it makes is so great. I remember hearing a talk where someone said that we should be studying the scriptures at least 30 minutes a day, and I remember thinking that that was such a long time! But now 30 minutes isn't nearly enough time to do what I want to do! Before the mission I'd just open up a random chapter and read it, and on the worse days just a random verse! Ah! How did I even learn anything!?

In this last week we were able to teach K.'s family! (except her dad). As far as I can remember, that was the second time that i was able to teach a family of investigators on my mission! It's a totally different experience, but the blessings of having a family in the church is great. I really hope that K.'s family can all make it one day to the church. That would be amazing.

Have a great week!
