Week Twenty One

The way it works around here is you always get released on the last Friday of the month before you came on this mission, and all new elders come in on the first Friday of the next month.  But on December they have mercy and let you leave on the Friday before Christmas,  which just so happens to be Dad's Birthday.  I would have firgured it out eventually even if I didn't look at the chart.

Also what the heck is Manga Magic and why is it in my room?  I recall having no such thing.  I want my Mastering Manga!  If it's not in that white box though then I have no idea where it is, it might even be on my bookshelf somewhere.  I should mention, though, that there are several pages missing from it too.  Did you find those giant stacks of drawing paper though? Because I want those too.  And since I'm so demandind, I've also been looking into getting myself an at home pull up bar but maybe you can get me one.  And I can see you're still working on the camera situation which is good.  I would use the first one you gave me (Andrew's one) despite the bluriness but that one is kind of broken too.  Everytime I turn it off it makes this horrible grinding noise and the lens gets stuck in the out posistion and the screen says "Lens Error" and then I can't get it to work again.

Yes there's a Sister Andersen too.  The Brandons are leaving at the end of  this month, and we're getting a new mission President in at the end of July I think.  Pretty much the whole mission leadership is being changed soon.

No I never shook Elder Holland's hand.  But during Priesthood Session he looked right at me and gave me a thumbs up and a fist of power.

And yes fine I guess you beat the wall of puns.

I already told Andrew that I can't remember anything anymore, so I don't know if I already told you that I officially passed off all my British training, FINALLY.  (Except for Australia, but that's optional, working at it slowly.)  I even got a little Union Jack pin to prove it.  And if I pass Australia training I get a Koala.

On Memorial Day we were all excused from our zones and we got in our pday clothes and hiked up to the Salt Lake Cemetery.  I found several prophets and other prominent people in the church, and it was really awesome to wander around such a huge cemetery.  The Masoleum was open too and I've never been in one of those before, that was fun too.  The highlight, though, is our group found where Sister Monson was buried even though the headstone isn't up yet (obviously.)  We just found a mass of flowers about the size of a casket covering newly dug ground, and sure enough there was a not in the flowers that said it was Sister Monson.  To double confirm it a lady came over to lay some more flowers on it and she said she was Sister Monson's niece.  Anyway yeah cool stuff too bad I don't have a camera.

Nothing else to report except for having no money because of stupidly expensive medication even with co-pay.  I withdrew some money but I still came up short this week so I didn't go shopping today.  That's okay though because I have more than enough food and should probably start eating it before it spoils.

Oh and moving sheets came out yesterday and it looks like I'm moving into a new apartment (AGAIN) and that I'm getting a new companion, Elder Call.  I don't know much about him other than he only has a couple months left on his mission and that he works at the vault, so you won't know until next week about him.  And I'm moving into another two man apartment which I'm excited about.  They're so much nicer than the four man's because they have a bigger bathroom and more fridge space.

Love, Elder Larson

Oh and since I hate to leave without pictures, here's a some pictures way back from January (or February, I can't remember) when we visited the Bishop's Storehouse.  I think Elder Brandon took these on his phone and sent it to all of us.  I've been meaning to give you them for a while but I just now remembered so here you go.  I'm right at the front in case you couldn't tell.


He told us all to wave so sorry if it looks like some of us are "Sieg Heiling."
