Elder Mason Steele, my cousin in the Sierra Leone Freetown Mission, says it best:
"This life...it no ezi"

Spent lots of time finding new friends this week and met some real cool folks. Marvin's doing awesome and we had a nice surprise at dinner when our friend Galatia, who got baptized in the YSA congregation after we met her on campus a month or two ago, was there for the meal too! We get all kinds of surprises as missionaries, so I've come to really appreciate the good ones.
I played all of the hymns for Sacrament Meeting for the first time last week! Achievement unlocked. Shoutout to my piano teacher Sister Vogelsberg who's serving a senior mission with her husband right now.
Got a sick biker bible for free from the Christian Motorcyclists Association booth at an event in Baxter Springs, Kansas, we went to called Cowtown Days. I never knew they were a thing until this week, but the CMA seems like it rocks. If I rode anything more advanced than a Bird scooter, I'd totally join.
My sister Hazel graduated early and moved to Moab to be a river guide at the same company my parents and a ton of my relatives have all worked at! You beat me to it, Haze. My little sisters and my cousins all got so old all of the sudden and it freaks me out 

AWESOME Speech - "Engaging Without Being Defensive" by M. Russell Ballard of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles
"For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth" The Apostle Paul (KJV Romans 1:16)
This is what it's all about! The good news of the Gospel of Christ is that He lives and so does His Church. It's back - right now! Today! How cool is that? I hope that those of you who read my emails will come to know, as I have, that sharing the restored gospel of Jesus Christ is one of the very most exciting causes we can possibly be a part of. I've shared it here before, but I just can't get over this line from the Lord's living prophet, President Russell M. Nelson. :
"My dear brothers and sisters, do you see what is happening right before our eyes? I pray that we will not miss the majesty of this moment! The Lord is indeed hastening His work."
