[So you know, the title of his email was "Another One"... :) And we'll put lots of pictures first this time!]

[who would have thought Neil would ever don a cowboy hat?!]

"So, it is actually quite hard to come up with an interesting subject line on these emails, so please, do not judge too hard. Thank you. 

For those of you that were wondering, this week's P-Day is on Wednesday. That is because we had a mission tour this week. What this means is that a general authority came and gave a training for the missionaries. He probably did other important somethings, but I just don't know what they are. Elder De Hoyos of the Seventy was the one that came, and the first time I saw him he reminded me of an actor. Look him up and see for yourself. But anyway, the instruction that he gave was very enlightening. They would ask questions and wanted the missionaries to answer. Sometimes, no one would put their hands up, so I kinda ended up giving a lot of answers, thought I let other people go before I would try. It was very cool as I believe that the answers that I gave were alright. So some of the stuff that I have been studying has talked about how knowledge is light or something like that, and so I have really been clinging to that, how our light increases whenever we learn something. Going in back to when I said 'enlightened', make sense? I have been seeing a lot around me as to how light is something that we must continually look for. Super cool. I hope you all don't mind the way in which I write, spontaneously switching from subject to subject. I think I will now separate my thoughts by paragraphs. (probably should have done this earlier)

On P-Day last week, we had a zone activity that was a hike. For about 4 hours. It was fun, till we realized that we didn't really know we were going, or how far down the trial that we were. So that was super exciting. Those are the pictures below. Some of them are from Elder Struble's camera. He is going home this transfer, I'm going to miss him, he is pretty awesome. He is the one in the blue shorts that is not me. 

Transfers was this past week as well, only one of the sisters in my district got moved, but the other district in my zone, all of them are training a new missionary. All of the new Elders are pretty awesome. I have already been able to knock with one of them. 

Well, I am now to the point where I don't really know what else to write so I guess that means this is the end of it. :)
