Hey Guys
I'm in West Kaysville now.We whitewashed into the area, so both of us are getting used to it here. My companion's name is Elder {} . He's from the Tri-City area of Washington state, played football in college before his mission, and came out to the field the same day as me. Our apartment is in NW Kaysville, on the border between Kaysville and Layton. We've got an older, but still nice three-story townhouse that we share with two other elders (Elder {}, from Rancho Cucamonga, in SoCal, and Elder {}, who's american, but grew up in Belgium). We've also got a 2014 Toyota Corolla with bluetooth for the phone, so that's pretty nice, too. We cover 14 wards right now, and the stake and ward leadership seems pretty missionary-minded. We're working hard to stay on top of things and pick up where the last elders left off. In a lot of missions, whitewashing is kinda rare, and it's normally something negative that provokes it. Not always, but that's the connotation it has. President Hansen whitewashes fairly often. The last elders serving here were good guys. One of them was named Elder {}. He's from {} and was serving here as a trial missionary. He has really bad social anxiety, so they sent him to this mission for two transfers to serve in two different areas with two different companions to see how he could handle the stresses of missionary life. This was his second area. Before that, he was serving in my old area in Centerville, with an Elder named Elder {}. Side note, Elder {} also came out the same time as me. He's from Tucson, AZ, is 19, the oldest of three kids, and has a brother who's 17 and a sister who's 13. In both looks and personality, he reminds me a lot of my best bud Eric Nugent. Elder {} , Elder {}, and I were really close last transfer. Larry's a good guy, and if I do end up staying in Utah for school, we talked about rooming together in SLC while going to the U. Anyways, Elder {} did well on his trial mission, and was approved to finish out his full two years. He got his mission call at the transfer meeting a week ago, and ended up getting called to serve back in this mission! That's pretty rare, and we were all happy. Trials that go full-time always go state-side, but it's rare that they stay in the mission they served their trial in. It's different, for sure, but pretty cool.

That's all I got for this week. Hit me up with any questions! This work is
amazing, no matter how challenging it can get. It's all about love. The
atonement's real and powerful, and helping people tap into that is what this
work is about. love all you guy!
