Hubbell won't stop coughing and he got all of us sick SMH 1/29/2018

 Well I got 2 new companions this week. They're both fun, and both have been out more than 3 times as long as I have. The other cool thing is, on Wednesday only 1/3 of our companionship was sick. By Friday, we were all sicker than dogs (probably the flu.) And on Saturday there were only 2 times where the 3 of us were vertical at the same time. On Sunday we only went to Sacrament meeting, and then went home and died. This week, pretty much all I've eaten is about a half gallon of Chobani, 478 cough drops, 14 acetaminophen, 8 doses of NyQuil, and 3 banana Twinkies. I've coughed up 4 lungs, and every time I cough, my headache gets worse. Every time my headache gets worse, I take acetaminophen, and every time I do that, I cough. So this week has been just fanfreakintastic.
     Also, last Monday we were able to go take a tour of the 2 historic homes that are about 30 minutes east of us. The Morrey's (the Senior couple in our District) are in charge of the homes for 2 years. One of the homes is where Joseph and Emma Smith were married and spent their honeymoon, and the other is where the Colesville Branch (first organized Branch of the Church) was located. Hyrum Smith was the Branch President there. These two houses were incredible, and it was stinkin cool to be able to see them in person.
     On a missionary work related note, we picked up 3 new investigators, and had a meal appointment that didn't even get cancelled. Our new investigators invited us to a Super Bowl party, and told us we could use their wifi. Both of these things would be super handy if we were muggles, but we're missionaries, so that puts us at a disadvantage. 
     Another great announcement is the fact that we have apartment inspections this week. And apparently it's now illegal to have a couch in a mission apartment... If you have a couch, you're supposed to give it away, and then the mission will supply 2 of those folding camp chairs to you. So that's way cool. 
     Honestly that's about all I've got to report this week. 2 new companions. 1 terminal (probably) illness. Tons of medicine. 1 hour of church. Many many hours of sleeping. Hopefully whatever this sickness is, it goes away asap as possible, so we can get out and start working. 

KEEP ON KEEPIN ON Y'ALL

Let's see if anyone actually reads my emails... :) 5/22/2018

   Another week come and gone. This week was one I'd have been alright skipping, for various reasons. But hey, I did turn 19, and had a cake handmade and delivered by some cousins that live nearby. So that was awesome. Thank you to everyone who sent cards or emails, you guys rock!      Anyways,  Tuesday  was District Meeting. One of my last in the Binghamton Ward. And the ZL's were there, we had a great discussion on revelations, prayers of faith, and recognizing the Spirit.  On Wednesday , we did service at the Feitsma's. I'm not sure if I've ever mentioned this in detail. But Frank Feitsma has severe MS, and can't move and can barely talk, his wife also has MS, and while it's not as severe, she still appreciates us helping her with Frank, and around the house. So we go over every  Tuesday  and do many service activities of various natures. So this week Elder Chan was able to operate a lawn mower for the first time in his life, I hun...

2 Months Down 9/18/2017

 Whew this week was another blur. I read a lot out of the Book of Mormon, like 100 pages since Tuesday. And wow that book is incredible, and is honestly a lot of fun to read. As I read I can't help but think of the quote from (I think) Jeffrey R Holland, where he says something along the lines of "No wicked man could write this book, and no good man would, unless it was from God." The book is true folks. And if it is true, then everything else is. Just remember, the book is blue, the Church is true. Even when some days can be rough, and unsuccessful, the Church is still true. Even if we get doors slammed on us a lot.      So, this week was just dandy. We taught a pretty good number of lessons, and did quite a bit of tracting. We knocked a lot of doors on Grove Street, and picked up a couple investigators. We had an awesome conversation with a very nice man...(This is sarcasm) We knocked on his door and a dog started barking, so we waited. About a minu...

Spring has sprung, and we got our glow in the dark scriptures 4/16/2018

     First of all, my parents are currently in New York City. This is the first and probably last time we will be in the same state until July of next year. They're 180 miles away, I've biked further than that in less than a day. So that's interesting.      Second, this week was the big week. The one we've been waiting for since November. We finally got smartphones. And wow, after all the hype, all the District Meetings, all the waiting, the Zone Conferences, we got them set up. And if we're honest, they aren't as much "smartphones" as they are glow in the dark scriptures. Yes they do a lot of awesome things, and help with Facebook to contact people, the "Phone Tiwi" makes it so we can't even get LDS.org to load. They area book planner app is actually way cool, but we've it ourselves quite a project to get all of our paper records inputted into the system. So that will be a process. And with Elder Chan's smartphone abilities now...
