5-13-13 Mother's Day

Hey! I am sorry that I kind of interrupted last night! [We don't think he realizes that nothing was more important than getting to Skype him.  There were no interruptions.]  I also am sorry I didn't say anything productive or really important, I was just trying to think of what to say. I loved seeing you guys too. It was fast for me as well, but I loved it. Thanks for all your support. I will do the best I can. Thanks for the help!

Our dinner appointment fell through, but luckily the Felix's let us eat at their house. It was good and nice not to have to leave immediately so I could kind of process everything. They definitely do more than their share of bearing up the missionary load. [Brother Felix called Laura earlier in the day to make sure we could get a good Skype session, and not waste any time once the Elder's came over. We all have learned how to magnify our callings better through his example and love to Michael.]

[Transfers came late last night and we learned that Michael and Elder Coburn will be together one more transfer before Elder Coburn heads home.]  It will be nice to be with Elder Coburn again. He is excellent and I am excited to learn how he does everything. But since this is his last transfer (and yes he will be here for Krystal's baptism), that means that next transfer I am staying here and will be getting a new companion. Even if I am Junior Companion, I still will be pretty much in charge of the area for the first while. It also means I will be here until at least the middle of August. 

We definitely appreciate the aprons, but haven't gotten to use them yet. Soon though!;) [Laura made aprons for both Elders to celebrate Mother's Day.]

Last night it was amazing because we went out and picked up a new investigator!! It was awesome! I don't know how solid he will be, but hopefully it will be nice to teach again. Hopefully he really wants to know.

Oh, this morning I was noticing that my Preach my Gospel is getting destroyed, and one of the other Elder's here has a hard bound version. He said that there are places that if you bring them one, they will do that. But it must be a Utah thing, because there isn't anywhere out here that does that. I don't know if you can do anything, but let me know if you can! Thank you tons!

Oh one last thing. I forgot last night to tell you guys that a few days ago we met a guy who has been on the show Storage Wars. He just got a store and so we helped him load some stuff into a trailer from his garage. Apparently he is the biggest buyer in Northern California. His name is Adam. I don't know which episodes he is on, but it was interesting. He is a really cool guy and has some cool ideas for shows. His 3 year old son died a few months ago, so he wants to give back. I can't reveal the details because we said we wouldn't, but it was really interesting how he wants to give back to people. 

Anyways, I love you guys! Take care!

Michael
