First and foremost a little business, this Saturday is transfer news, and yeah, it feels like time is just soaring by. Just in case I get transferred, I'm going to ask that from today until I know for sure whether I will be staying or going, please do not send any physical letters or packages, just in case I do end up going someplace else.
So, how about this week huh? I went on back to back exchanges, and I also began working on Dead End again in my free time. The idea is that I draw it out on paper, and that way I can have the comic already done after the mission, at which point I'll digitally enhance it using the iPad pro and apple pencil combo. I'm not letting any of this get in the way of my studies or missionary work though, just so you know.
In fact, this week I've been working extra hard on being the best missionary I can be! And you know what? A lot of stuff happened! Let's start with the exchanges. First off, I went on Zone Leader exchanges with Elder Wood, and he's a pretty good guy. He was very hardworking, and even though we had a car, we decided it best to walk from place to place because the area is kind of small and we felt it would be more productive. We ended up walking a little over four miles that day! And it paid off! We now have a with-date for the ZL's. Not really for me and Elder Maxwell, but the work progresses I suppose. The very next night I did service with Elder Taka from Tonga. He's a super cool dude, and it was a lot of fun.
Finally, and to end things off, Elder Maxwell and I went to a military academy again to teach the kids again. This week we taught them the plan of salvation, and it went amazingly well. The plan of salvation is my favorite thing to teach, because of the amazing questions that it answers, and seeing these kids light up when they understood what we were teaching them is a great thing to behold! It was pretty intimidating last week when I wasn't really super used to the program, not to mention it feels like you're walking into a prison when you go there, but honestly speaking it's the most spiritual experience ever.
Thanks for the Valentine's box by the way! I loved the creative valentines for anime and Pokémon and stuff. "It's not like I like you or anything... Baka" I laughed so hard, and so did Elder Durrant when he saw it. He's into anime, speaks Japanese, and has ADHD just like me, so we get along so well it's almost kind of scary.

As for Sydney, no updates yet, but keep her in your prayers. Thanks guys!
In the mean time, my study chair broke, and so I used flex tape to fix it. Surprisingly, it holds my weight and has been holding my weight for three days now with no problem. Phil Swift would be proud.
Until next week!
