Elder Lam is one of the Mandarin Chinese speaking missionaries here. He's pretty cool and is good at basketball. I was surprised, but there are 6 of them here, as well as 8 Spanish speaking missionaries, with more of both on the way!
Here are some pictures, I'm trying to remember what they are. We had a HUGE City-wide food drive, and over 500,000 pounds of food were donated. so yeah. This is mostly that. and i found you a cool truck. We sent out over 60 huge boxes of food from out stake alone. This is just the picture email, so I'll say more later.

No email from you guys this week? My family has forgotten me already?! That's gotta be a record! Well, Transfers were today, and I'm staying but Elder Page is going off to be a "zed-L" in the Calgary South Zone, I'm so proud of my daddy. I'm actually getting the elder that trained my MTC comp elder Page!
So that's funny. I'm really gonna miss Elder Page and am really bummed that we only got to serve together for 6 weeks. And Also that he's going to miss Tyler's baptism this Saturday. This Saturday at 8! yay! Today, This exact point in time i just realized makes 2 months since i entered the MTC. crazy!
I've never told this to anyone before, but i used it in a lesson so i figured i might as well tell you. Remember when i broke my leg? Before the game, I clearly and specifically remember praying pretty fervently and asking God to protect my team and not let and injury come on any of us. That's one of the reasons it hit me so hard. But now it strengthens my testimony that I was supposed to break my leg and my life was supposed to change in some way. Whether it be that I wouldn't go anywhere for basketball, or whether I needed to be humbled, I don't know. But i do know that it was supposed to happen. As depressing as it still is, I know it this it true.
Being in YSA is really cool. We get to be at the Institute a lot and the director there is a GENIUS. Bro Logan Zemp. He can quote anything and teach anything so simply yet so complete. Its awesome.

Well, life is going good. This week wasn't too eventful, just doing missionary work! Dad, please tell me object lessons! I love you guys and really really really really really miss you!
