 Deja vu?

Well I know if I don’t get this off now I never will because it's fixin to be a busy day! 

Tuesday we had a lesson with our friend Dylan who is on date for baptism! We had to go over the Word of Wisdom with him and it was... mostly well received I think. He said he had issues with Tea and that he doesn't believe in a God who would make such arbitrary laws. We tried to explain things to him, and asked him to pray about it, so hopefully he does! 

Wednesday we had our weekly lesson with Drew, Tim, and Tyler. I'm not sure if I've ever mentioned them, but they're 3 college kids at WSU and they ask some brutal questions. We got going OFF on the Book of Abraham, and honestly I don't know much about it, or the claims they were making so I looked into it and I'm ready to bash the living daylight out of them. Respectfully of course. Jk I would never bash, but I do feel more prepared to answer their questions. 

Friday we had interviews with our mission president. He asked if I had my shot and I said no and he told me I oughta get it because things will open up a lot more to those who have it here soon... so naturally on Saturday I went and got all chipped up! 5G compatability will hopefully come later in June after my 3 weeks. 

Our branch is having a temple trip end of June and I'm DEFINITELY looking to try and go. I just need to possibility of riding with a member to open up, then we can make the 2.5 hour trek down to OKC (with President approval of course.)

Sunday morning was a HOOT. As I'm sure some of you will remember a few weeks ago our CO alarm went off, and as missionary protocol we have to call 911 so we did and they got no reading and told us to change the battery. Well Sunday morning around 7 it went off again. I shoved my head in my pillow and was going to ignore it and let my dear comp handle it. I figured it was just faulty, so we silenced it and called it good. Well it proceeded to go off two more times and we decided that might hold some ground so we called 911 and they sent not one but TWO GIANT FIRE TRUCKS! And to top it off they sent the fire marshals truck so a total of THREE trucks. I guess Sunday mornings are pretty slow. Anyway they go up and they get a super high reading of carbon monoxide so they start knocking on all our neighbors doors... at 7 in the morning. Sorry neighbors. Anyway they call Kansas gas who have to come out and run their tests because it's more precise than the fire department or sumn. So that dude comes out and tells us out water heater is broken and it's missing a safety pipe or something and the flame rolls around in the bottom which is bad and that's why it went off. So he shut off the water heater and we're not allowed to turn it on till we get it replaced so cold showers baby! But yes I'm glad they didn’t send all those firefighters just for nothing. One even came in lights flashing and everything. Good times.

As our Social Media Leaders say "FACEBOOK WORKS". I'm still skeptical but definitely trying. Time is quickly running out and I will soon be reunited with my best friend Scott to reek havoc on those intermural at UVU and destroy some bots in Rocket League or sumn

Warmest regards,
