I'm a versatile kind of guy.
I will confess, I never thought I’d say this. I am starting to miss you. When Karl and I attended the open house of the Ogden Temple, I thought of a way you can give away a copy of the Book of Mormon at work. Always have a copy sitting on your desk. Read it …
This week has been a blast! This week I met with a team leader in the requisition department at the global service center. I’ll be working in that department next week. I will essentially be calling priesthood leaders to ask them why checks haven’t been deposited yet. I’ll be doing that on Mondays, Wednesdays, and …
My week had barely begun and it started off very well. Church was delightful, there were wonderful lessons in all of the 3 hours. After Church ended, I joined the ward choir. The ward choir is conducted by Sister Ballantyne, Richard Elliott’s wife who happens to be the ward choir accompanist. We are singing “All …
8-23-2014 Red text are comments added by Mom to add clarity. Can you believe it’s been a week? It’s flown by so quickly. The work here never ceases. We’ve had a lot of lost records of people who were born outside of the United States of America. These records tend to be very difficult because …
As you know, I’ve arrived safely in Salt Lake City. I finally met Karl (his roommate) at the airport, and he is just as pleasant in person as he is on the phone. To welcome me back to the Valley, he took me out to dinner at a restaurant on Temple Square. I feel like …

Today I worked for 9 hours. I have 5 more days left until I leave! Today I cut my grandmas grass. Before I did that, I took a nap for about half an hour. Today’s institute lesson was from Joseph Smith—History, a book from the Pearl of Great Price, documenting the early years of The …
Today, I worked for 9 hours. There are 6 days now before I leave for my mission! I also was able to take a nap for about an hour before FHE today. Today’s FHE was hosted by the Munson family (the Branch President and his family), we always love having that unique spirit that is …
On Saturday, my mother and I went to the post office to weigh my bags to ensure that my bags won’t be over the weight limit set by the airline. To our surprise, we were well within weight limits! We also went to Walmart and did some more shopping, both for groceries and some supplies …
The “highlights” of this week essentially were working 9 hours Wednesday and Thursday. I worked for 6 hours on Friday. I received my new pair of EarPods this week and a new SIM card for my old phone to use in SLC. I received an I itinerary of my first day of my mission from …
