From Elder Reed's Jan 22nd update:
"Sorry folks, I got preoccupied with other things that needed to get done and I was not really able to write a very long letter this week. Besides getting sick and taking our bikes to get fixed, nothing else too exciting happened.
Oh, the First Presidency message was very good though.
I love you all!!!"
From Elder Reed's Jan 29th update:
"Finally, I think that I will be able to get out a relatively normal length email out!
This week in review:
We had a Mission wide cleaning day because there have been some missionary apartments that really needed some cleaning. Ours has been kept pretty clean, but still, we had some stuff to remove. The fireplace in our apartment looks like it has never been cleaned so I ended up doing that. And we had three bags of ash that we took out. Very gross. We had apartment inspections a couple days later so that was good.
This Sunday was our regional broadcast from the church, so every building in the northwest and west watched the same thing. We were privileged to hear from Elder Nattress of the Seventy, Sister France of the Primary Presidency, President Kearon of the Presidency of the Seventy, and Elder Christofferson of the Quarom of the Twelve Apostles. It was way cool because I have met President Kearon when he came to our mission, so I got to hear from him again, and all of the other talks were way good as well.
This weeks weather has been very interesting. There have been a couple of days in which it was rained a bunch and one that was particularly bad. I ended up changing my pants four times because they got soaked every time that I went out. My feet however have remained very dry, which I am continually grateful for. I hope to be able to keep it that way.
Today is about halfway through the transfer and we will be doing an activity with all of the missionaries in the zone, which will be fun. It will not involve flour this time, only some volleyball and some other games. It will still be fun though. It has been interesting spending so long in one zone and getting to see how everyone moves in and out and how quickly new friendships can be made as we are all unified in the purpose of spreading the message of the Gospel to anyone that we can. Way awesome.
I hope that you all have a fantastic week and find some awesome new truth that you did not know about before!
