Sunday fun

We got to talk to Ethan on Saturday and he is doing well. He tried to make shrimp scampi for his companion and was a little out of practice. 😳 But at least he learned something. He said he needed a blanket and pillow so I ordered those on Amazon and had them shipped to him. 

They also had a Trainers Conference in Laramie, Wyoming last week. Ethan was happy to tell us that when he goes through the temple we will be able to be there with him. That will be nice but hard to see him and have to leave again. But who knows when it will happen because the temple near him isn’t open so it may be a while. 

Ethan is doing well and looks really happy. He is a scavenger and there was a bin in their apartment that had a bunch of unclaimed things in it. Ethan went through it and found a cool looking knife. The elders said it was left by the last missionary in the apartment so Ethan could keep it. He was pretty happy about that find. 

His mission president’s wife usually posts pictures of the new missionaries with their trainers a day or two after they arrive at the mission. I have been watching the mission Facebook page but haven’t seen anything. Finally today the pictures showed up...and I don’t blame her for taking a while. They had 28 new missionaries arrive the same day Ethan did! So I bet they have been busy. 

Here is Elder Pack and Elder Unruh (from San Diego).

They are still sharing an apartment because there is such a demand (because of the amount of new missionaries) for apartments. They don’t know if they will end up getting one or not but they are happy where they are and it sounds like they have a lot of fun.

Then today I got this gem in a text saying he is a “wonderful young man.”

Members are so fun!!!
