Dear Family,
I didn’t get to
mention I got big and great Dear Elder updates from both Heather and Chase. It
sounds like things are going really well for the Young Cole Family, especially
since Heather has finally converted to the Lakers. Chase sounded busy, but still having fun.
Some of my favorite moments in class/what I think is super useful are when a
teacher says something like “and finally 6 months into my mission I learned
that...” so any good RM insights/stories are much appreciated.
When I first
heard Nash came to the Lakers it made my day. I think that is amazing.
Definitely keep sending me big sports updates; one of my teachers was just
stressing how having common interest like sports can help a lot with
investigators. Also I just talked to a missionary from Boston Boston
I have no amazing
Elder Bednar talks to talk about but I found/someone showed me 2 scriptures
which are now 2 of my favorite. They are John 4:14 and Romans 8: 38-39. I
especially like to share the Romans one with my “investigators” a lot.
I just looked up
and the elder across from me is named “Elder Humble”. My two favorite names are
still “Elder Funk” and “Elder Beebe” though.
My Mono being a
Yankee fan (referring to a joke that Zak made in his last letter) was just
because of the Boston Red Sox vs. Yankee rivalry. I hope too many people didn’t
think that was too much of a stretch.
No, I am not a
district leader anymore. I enjoyed my time being one though, so I do have to
get it (my mail) from my DL instead of already checking it myself. That is not
a deal at all though.
I have not seen
the facebook post about where everyone in the dorm is going. I’ve heard about
it though from BYU friends who are newly arrived and would like to see it.
Doing laundry is
not a huge hassle. We check our e-mail/write letters while we wait for it.
I will ask about
the tailor to see if they can fix my button situation.
Glad to hear
Quinn’s project got approved. He’ll be really happy when that is all finally
done.
I don’t really
know how long I’m going to be in the MTC. I meet with the doctor on Friday so
if things are ok then I would guess I might even get to leave Monday. I think
later in that week is more likely, with longer delays also possible. I already
have a calling card so unless I’m in a huge rush or something, I’ll call when
I’m in the airport.
There is no one
in my district or zone going to Boston
I’ll keep working
hard and resting hard too. (Is it better to rest soft? Hmm...not sure). I
haven’t felt very sick today at all plus I’m allowed to take a nap whenever I
want, so I’m doing well and expect a quick recovery.
Love,
Zak
P.S. Don’t jump
in elevators. It’s probably karma for back when we did that so I got sick.
