Happy P-day to all of you around the world who celebrate. Kinda fun to say that, this email goes to people in 6 continents. I think I’ve mentioned that before, but now there’s a lot more people out or heading out soon. Anyways my little corner of the world out here is doing well. It…
Transfer 1 is over! Anyone who is out on a mission/went on a mission can tell you, time is wild out here. Every day and every week seems to last forever but they also fly by. I’m having a great time out here, there’s a sense of routineness now which is nice because I feel…
Happy Tuesday everyone! P day got moved to today because transfers are tomorrow. I’ll be staying here in the Chinese area, but my companion will be leaving. I’ll be in a trio going forward, which should be pretty interesting. It’s pretty unusual to have training done in a trio, but we should be chilling. We…
It was probably the most mild fender bender of all time. It wasn’t even the worst car accident a missionary got into that day, there was another one (no injuries too!) where some mustang flying down the highway hit the side of some missionaries’ car. Anyways we were yielding in a merge lane, a car…
That’s right, an email on a Thursday 🤯. We’re going to the temple today with our adjusted P day so I’m trying to knock this out now so I can make sure it gets sent out. Things are still chill out here in Maryland, it’s good. To be honest though, it’s starting to feel a…

We had a crazy week, so I haven’t been keeping a good journal. Just a couple highlights for you guys, hopefully I’ll lock in next week. Life is good, we keep busy. We spend a good part of the morning studying the gospel, the language, and planning our lessons and finding. We are assigned to…
I’M FINALLY HERE!! I’ve been in training since late January, but I’ve finally made it to the field. I can already tell that P days are going to be a lot more packed here, but this email will probably be a lot more in depth because so much happened. We had a super great devotional…
If you only read one part of the email, here it is: this is the most important week of the year. Do whatever you can this week to reflect and learn about the life of Jesus Christ and His atoning sacrifice. Gospel Library has so many good resources, start there and keep going! Back to…
Hey guys! I hope life is good wherever you are, I only have one week left here in the MTC! Ill leave here on March 31st. As always we’ll start with the Chinese report. It’s still progressing which is great, I’m learning a lot and getting some good practice solidifying what I already know. The…
