Congrats on the new addition to the family!
Today
was our temple P-Day. It was quite interesting. We went to the LA
Temple for the 5:30 am session, and it was packed. Of the portion of the
mission that goes to the LA Temple, I think that over half were in
attendance (and on time). There were a lot of familiar faces in the
celestial room. It was great.
James came back
from China and we were able to talk with him last night. He really
enjoyed his trip, and even with all the work he's having to do to catch
up with all of his AP classes, he still finds time to read from the Book
of Mormon and such (while also trying to get the world record high
score in Abadox (a random NES game)). Quite impressive.
We're still working with Dawn and Nancy and that
whole family. For Elder Perry's birthday this week they gave him a few
random presents. On the more spiritual side, it seems they're doing
better. Nancy was the only one of them who came to church this week
though, which is weird because out of all of them she got the least
sleep the previous night (ie none).
On Friday I was on exchanges with an Elder Greene,
who (believe it or not) is a greenie (though unfortunately his name is
just pronounced green). For somebody so quiet, he's quite good.
All the news I'm hearing about changes resulting from the
influx of missionaries is weird. For instance, apparently the time in
the MTC for all these incoming missionaries has been cut by a third (2
weeks instead of 3 for English, and 6 instead of 9 for Spanish). Also,
I've heard (a rumor) that because of all of this they're cutting off the
extra week from the next transfer, thus shortening everybody's missions
by a week. Interesting happenings are about...
Rather Dashingly,
Elder West
