Michael's latest letter!

Hello everyone, 

For the first time since I’ve been on my mission, I actually cannot believe that it’s already p-day.  It’s definitely been a busy week.  Here’s my rundown of the week. 

Saturday 10/10 – After emailing we did some mission-wide activities, which was a ton of fun. 

Sunday 10/11 – We got up and went to branch choir practice, went to Music and the Spoken Word, had church, and then we had a dinner appointment with one of the senior couples. 

Monday 10/12 – We got up at 5am so we could go to choir practice and then had our Monday devotional.  We then went to our work zone and in the evening we had our District Meeting.

Tuesday 10/13 – We worked in our zone during the day.  Our mission choir sang at the senior mission conference in the middle of the day and since my companion is not in the choir, I went on a temporary companionship exchange, which was fun.

Wednesday 10/14 – We did more of our zone work, had our monthly Young Elder’s Conference, and then we did another performance at the second senior mission conference (the senior mission conference is divided into 2 days).  We still had our usual Wednesday afternoon choir practice despite having our 3 performances, which was also fun.

Thursday 10/15 – We had another somewhat busy day in our office, and then we had our research night on Thursday night.

Friday 10/16 – We did more of our zone work during the day and night.

Saturday 10/17 – We already did our shopping and will do our laundry and mission-wide activities, which should be fun.

Well that was my week in a nutshell. A few other interesting things are that 2 of the twelve came in to our office today to meet us.  It was Elder Cook and one of the new apostles (leaders in our church)  IT was really neat.  I have also been asked to sing in a double male quartet for the Christmas program.  It should be really fun.  My companion and I got invited to eat at a senior couples home this week.  They served beef stew and it was really good.   I have had a really great week.  

Love and miss you all so much!  Have a great week! J
