Hey everyone!
I had an awkward twenty minutes of free time before P-day started and I could go back to sleep this morning so I figured I'd knock my email out early this time.
Me and Elder Wasden are literally just Timon and Pumba from The Lion King. I don't really know how else to describe it, so yeah, we're living it up. The work's going great and we had a lot of friends join us for church this week! Plus, both Elder Wasden and I were asked to speak in church this Sunday so it was perfect timing! I didn't think to record it but in short I based it off of the talk "It’s True, Isn’t It? Then What Else Matters?" by Elder Neil L. Andersen and talked about four things that matter most to me:
1) Jesus Christ was resurrected.
2) The Two Great Commandments are the ultimate recipe for joy and spiritual survival.
3) The beauty of God's creations are evidence that He is real and He loves us.
4) The Gospel of Jesus Christ was restored.
Here's that message from Elder Andersen:

Other fun stuff that happened this week:
- Met a missionary who served in the Fayetteville YSA 33 years ago!
- My old mission buddy Davy McKee is getting married to his longtime girlfriend next month! Bro can't wait until I get home smh >:(
- Elder Wasden's first name is Carter and I called him Carson nine times in one day on Sunday 
- A member tossed me a water bottle after church on Sunday and I tried to land it on my head and it totally exploded all over me right smack in the middle of the chapel So much of being a missionary is just learning how to be in the most stupidly embarrassing situations 24/7 and just taking it like a champ haha.
So much of being a missionary is just learning how to be in the most stupidly embarrassing situations 24/7 and just taking it like a champ haha. - One of my best pals is serving his mission in Peru right now and a past missionary companion of his pulled up to one of our YSA activities last week! What are the chances haha. It's a real small world in the Church, isn't it.
- My roommate Elder Thomsen found out one of the three keyboards in our apartment has a preprogrammed song bank
